Many
thanks to the huge number of members who took the time to look at
Januarys entries for our pic of the month competition. Your great
feedback and comments have been great to receive, we have a talented
group of photographers and your support is very much appreciated.

Many thanks, and have a great weekend

Well Hello friends,
it
has been some time since I sent out a message to all members with news
and updates. I am hoping to do this on a Monthly basis.
We
recently hit another milestone on PMP, we now have over 10K Members,
and the growth continues. The challenge is to maintain the feel of the
site. Many people have made real friends here in a supportive
environment. Rest assured myself and the admin team are ‘on the same
page’ where that is concerned. The PMP ‘difference ‘ is that we are
completely independent. How the site develops is largely in the hands of
members, in collaboration with the admin team. For example, groups
still remain a major feature for many people, as do the challenges. Some
of you may be wondering about the site upgrade that has been talked
about. It will happen, but Ning (Our solution provider) perhaps jumped
the gun when they announced it. The process to migrate from version 2 to
version 3 is still being worked on. So I have no timescale for this as
yet.
Going
forward we will be featuring books and products made by members, either
independently or in partnership with PMP. Many of you will know I
recently published my own ebook ‘introduction to loose watercolor’ on
Amazon for kindle. If you want to read more about my plans and ideas for
ebooks, take a look at my article in Issue 8 of the PMP newsletter
Today I am delighted to introduce you to a new book on watercolor painting by Maria Balcells.
It is entitled ‘Watercolor Drops’ and if you follow the link you can
get a 30% discount that Maria has put in place, particularly for PMP
members, for a time. Use the code JLNMQXE9O8.
Also there are additional discount options for sharing Maria’s page. I
highly recommend this book I am still referring to it myself, always so
much to learn from each other!
It just remains for me to wish you all a happy, and creative, New Year.
Roy Simmons
PMP owner/founder.
