FineArtAmerica Review: Free Online Artist Portfolio

February 26, 2009
Free Online Artist Portfolios: Part Five
Today I will be reviewing the 1st of six of the free online portfolio sites that I have to sign up for: FineArtAmerica. This is one of those online sites where you can not only show your art, but also sell high-resolution prints of your work, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. The first thing I noticed was a map of my state and “Your current location” with my city listed (how did they know?). Further down the home page, there is an artist spotlight featuring the work of artists from my hometown. Nice. See full post »

MyArtSpace Review: Free Online Artist Portfolio

February 19, 2009
Free Online Artist Portfolios: Part Four I signed up with MyArtSpace in 2006 or 2007. It’s a lovely space, with a very professional look. I’m probably more fond of MyArtSpace than I should be, because it’s really buggy. See full post »

Saatchi Online Review: Free Online Artist Portfolio

January 28, 2009
Free Online Artist Portfolios: Part Three I signed up with Saatchi Online almost as soon as they started offering free online portfolios in 2006. At the time, they offered "your own page which you can update as much as you wish. You can post up to eight images...and there is no fee, we have created this to assist artists in raising their profiles." OK! Sounds good. Where do I sign up? See full post »

Compliments on my work
Your painting reminds me of Georgia O'Keeffe's flower paintings. Although your painting reminds me of her work, it does bring about a different kind of experience. Her flowers to me are beautiful. But they also seem reserved, formal, almost abstract, not romantic in anyway, not even alive but more like something plucked and then frozen in time. Your work has some of the same shapes, and yet the relationship of the shapes to each other is different and not at all formal like O'Keeffe's. There is more movement in your painting, more energy, more aliveness. (I'm not taking your title into consideration.) To me, I'm looking deep into the heart of a living flower.
