If you like painting and live 5 miles south of the Canadian border at the end of a road in the middle of the boonies surrounded by rocks, sticks, water, moose & squirrel,  this is really great site to view art.

The videos, and photos are incredible and allow the viewer to visit without ever leaving the woods.

Fantastic artwork by many artists is on this vast site.  If you paint at a level similar to me and are like me, you’ll want to break all your paint brushes and become a busboy at a chain restaurant.

Actually, I am fascinated by the art which ranges widely from blobby looking stuff that you just can’t look away from to incredible realism.  It goes from soup to nuts in art.  Some of the works I saw make me wonder how they decided that painting an old wooden chair leaning against an old, flattened-out brass tuba is a something that everyone would want to see, but they do that.  Or, there is the girl with one goofy eye sitting in the middle of the room.   I don’t get some of these compositions but there are other spectacularly interesting works up the yin-yang.  The simple appearance of their techniques make them look a lot easier than they are and I particularly like those paintings that you need to step back from to see what’s going on.  I’ve done some of those over the years and the ones that worked were pretty good.  The ones that did not work were junk.  Fortunately, you can paint the canvas over again.

This was ambitious.

A head-scratcher for me.

Yup.  Some of it is a little odd.  But notice the blending of colors.  That is not easy to do.

Be sure to check out the videos on this sight.  Art professors talk about the painting and point out the reasoning for the odd compositions in many of the cases.  They also talk about compostions, history, techniques, etc.
