Great dog site found

Getting back into all things doggy and this site is a very good place to browse for dog art and other poducts. It is mainly contemporary dog art, but older stuff is mentioned too and plenty of nice pics to explore. Recommended for dog art/products.

Degas fans – great site

Found http://www.edgar-degas.org

which is a very simple to navigate site devoted to Degas, who I am a fan of too being also interested in nude art, some of which you can see at my site

http://www.john-carwithen.com/nudes%20main.html

For those of you who don’t recognise his name, maybe this will ring a bell, entitled “Dance Class 1871″

I don’t profess to match him for quality and don’t share his abiltity to draw moving models in a scene such as dance class, but I try – bless.

This site even invites you to download images thanks to the Creative Commons Licence, which is rather nice of them!

New pet portraits website

http://www.exceptional-dog-portraits.co.uk

I’m back after rather a long absence

Among other things from the “Great Sea of Undone Things”, I have started a new website for pet portraits / dog portraits in oils on canvas. Still plenty of undone things to do yet!

I have painted dogs for many years and have decided to give it more effort again for my own purposes and because I seem to have many happy clients with dog pictures of their beloved.

My other general site
http://www.john-carwithen.com/ continues in it’s present form.

My other interests are all things computers, especially Apple computers and I hope to bring to this blog interesting stuff in that area too.

I also do web design and as I gain momentum in this field, I am struck by the complexity of web design and the internet and can only cope with it (my artistic temperament makes me overload easily) by shrinking it down my own special way. I hope to share some of these bite-size chunks soon and Macs are a good example of how information can be manipulated to be more digestible.

Hello world!

Hi world – just testing as this is day 1 and it’s all new.

Let’s try some colour!

Now I do love a bit of pink!

I’m an artist and budding web designer hoping to extend my artistic skills into design, CSS being of particular interest to me.
