• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

I can't even begin to explain how good this is

Just read that she doesn’t have a lot of time to paint because she also plays hockey for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

Some people eh, 👏

Is that a painting ?, at first glance I thought it was a picture, that's excellent. 8-)

So wouldn't an actual photograph have been better? Just shoot off a burst of 50 and then select the best one.

I think that artists don't know what they should be doing nowadays. I work in an affluent bit of London where I meet a lot of artists whose main source of income is producing pieces of art for local councils and international companies, and that's fine, that's OK, but I can't say that anything that they produce is great. (In my opinion.)
 
More of her paintings on show in this article. So talented.

The difference is, that anyone with a reasonable camera can take a good photo. This young lady is 14, with a real talent, you cant buy that, you've either got it or you haven't. Its raw talent. The difference between the two is like comparing chalk and cheese.
