I miss Ella's artworks.
She didn't post many creations, but all of them were always full of atmosphere, they told us something intimate.
Which IMO is what a piece of art should do.

Hi OMG,
Sorry for going way off topic here.
I just checked the weather radar for Sydney tonight.
Could be more flooding in the area but what is weird is this rain is coming from Central Australia which is desert. I find I do more 'art' when it's bad weather outside but these days that probably doesn't apply so much...

I post here when I make images, it's sort of part of my image-posting routine 
Also, I have occasionally gotten good, actionable feedback that has helped me. I've just not had time to do much artwork at all recently; primarily doing coding.
Since GIMP's devs said (many years ago now) that they focus more on image manipulation rather than image creation, I've mostly moved over to other programs though. I still use GIMP, but most of my work is done in OSS programs dedicated to creation, like MyPaint and Krita.
Having followed many forums in a range of topics over the years, I have observed that they tend to have a 'lifetime' of sorts - they rise, become popular and then gradually fade away. Not having active admins is the killer, honestly, because mods can generally not update the underlying code. I guess more persistent forms of media tend to be larger and commercially run, having all sorts of topics on the same platform rather than focusing on a single niche.
