I have no money. Therefore I use free stuff.

[pehiatt]

I am not in love with Google but they do have a free hosting service with few strings that is easy to use. up to 4 sites each with a gig storage. Maybe I like them more than I thought I would. I have turned mercenary. This is an economic venture.

Always open for comments.

You can't beat free... and the site is pretty good. It looks like afew of your images aren't showing up, but could bepointing to an incorrect path.

P.S. You should have entered my annual competition. I think you would have done well. The deadline is today.

[beautifulbay]

I think it's a nicely put together site. Your artwork is beautiful, I love your themes and style. Very nicely done! I may have to check out Google too!

[pehiatt]

I have 3 competitions on the table right now. There is so much to do. I limit myself to about 3 a month. One thing of interest. I do not show or publish paintings that are in jury. Once they have been rejected or shown then I put them out for public view.

Marketing steals from creative time. Website construction is time consuming and I would much rather just draw and paint. Still I need income too.

The images that don't show up? Here they seem to be fine. Could you tell me which are having problems and I will check them out. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Note: some of the external links are still not fully complete. Also linking to outside sites always has problems and Google sometimes has problems resolving large images... I have to keep working on it. Extra eyes help get the bugs out.

These forums help a lot to keep in touch with the outside world. I am somewhat secluded and often work late at night. I have to catch up on a long neglected interest. It's like going back to school.

Again as always much thanks.

The site is simple but nice.

I use freewebs.com Fairly easy to build your website and offer a little more than some do considering it is free. But...just a suggestion and I like your website anyway so.....

Your web site is truly unique. I like your art. I have a free site and it is at a place called Redbubble. http://redbubble.com They have group themes and I believe your art would work in the Fantasy theme. Check it out.
Great Job.

Eagle iam new to this posting thing here .. who is your last post direstec to.. it cant be me because i dont have a website yet .. but curious to know.. peace...Nicoletta

[eagle1]

Nicoletta,

I am sorry I was replying to piehatt. But You can upload any of your work at the same web site. Its called REDBUBBLE. here is the address for this place.
http://redbubble.com I find it an easy one to upload your work and there are themed groups (example: Colour me Red) and so on. The other advantage is the fact that you can have your work sold with frames or t-shirts or calenders, greeting cards.

Anyway -- Thanks to everyone who visited the site and your positive comments.

[bridgetown]

I love the painting 'Winter Conversation'

I'm inspired~ thank you~

[DLKeur]

It's a good job. No problems with it here. I'll host you a link if you send me your ad copy and a set of images to use.

[pehiatt]

Thanks for the positive comments. They help keep me going.



For DLKeur: What kinds of images do recommend?

[DLKeur]

Whatever you want as a "come-on-over-and-you-really-want-to-buy-my-art add.

You can see the one I did for asingularcreation.com here:

http://www.zentao.com/recommended-art-c ... vices.html

I'll put you here, top of the page:

http://www.zentao.com/artists-and-their-art.html

My suggestion for you would be a swf file similar to this one only larger: http://photographyofgrace.com/Slideshow ... re170A.swf

I'd also include your mug shot and text that focuses on the keywords and key phrases that define your art.

email to me with the image attachments.

[pehiatt]

You web sites are very sophisticated and beautiful. It is an honor to have such an invitation.

This may take me some time. I have two shows to pack and ship by Saturday. I also have three new pieces to photograph and retouch. New juried show package for August.

I will make every effort to get something too you soon.

Again thanks for the invite.

[DLKeur]

No problem. Hope you grabbed my email address. If not, just PM me. I'm going to edit it gone now.
