With my art I try to bring hope where there is none, to bring happiness when there is only darkness, to replace nihilism with faith in humanity. As we plead for democratic ideals all over the world, we need to remember that the most convincing proof of the fruit of democracy can be found in our own museums, concert halls, and arts curriculum.
An exchange of art and culture between countries leads to a greater understanding between nations creating a more peaceful world.
Art is a journey, not a destination.
Description of Art Web
Plein Aire is a French painting term which means painting outside which first came into fashion with the impressionists who needed the true light of nature to capture the colors. It must be remembered, there was no electric lighting in those days, nonetheless, I feel that outdoor painting creates a better work than working from photo's indoors.
The work becomes more spontaneous less worked. Working in the nature is a hard master.

Over recent months there have been many articles, posts and blogs about the fore coming new web standard, html5. The exact date when it replaces the current html4 is not clear but probably within the next couple of years. Originally scheduled for something like 2022. One of the changes in the new standards concerns embedded video. With the release of the Apple iPad, Apple have decided not to support Flash Video, but instead use the new video standards outlined by html5.
I'm a long term user of mac computers and also a big user of flash video for my art painting galleries. While I admit video is superior quality to flash but it's the interactive aspect of flash which can't be achieved with video.
The following is my art web index page coded for html5.

For quite some years I have used JetPhoto Studio app to make flash galleries of my paintings and photo's. There is a free version of the app. Recently I discovered another use app from VisualLightBox.com. I put together some photo portfolio's just to see how it works. Like JetPhoto Studio, the app is very easy to use.
Art Studio
Sometimes, when I'm painting in my art studio I turn on the web cam, mostly for my family.
