The first destination we are
arriving at is
called Auto Art By
Harper. John Harpers art gallery can be found
online at
www.autoartbyharper.com.
Mr. Harper combines his love for racing, and strong background in
photography, with his natural artistic talent. John attends
professional racing events, where he digitally captures these
moments in time. From there he re-creates the events on canvas.
For example this work titled Rahals Last Ride:

cater to a
variety of artists. For a good old fashioned brick and mortar
experience, you can visit the Santa Monica Museum Of Art. This
is a venue that caters to exhibits. The next exhibit
scheduled at the Santa Monica Museum of Art will be Dark
Places that will run from January 13th, 2006 through April

For art supplies and art-
related products we tried
www.art.com . Well
if you did not
already know about this site, we took a chance and just
typed it into our
browser, and sure enough there was an art site. No
purchase made
by Trade Federation but you might want to visit the site.
If you are
just getting started with your art hobby, we recommend that
you look
into some of the following technologies: Microsoft Paint,
Photoshop,
Flash, Digital Cameras, and Digital Camcorders. |
