CAROL CARTER - An appealing presentation and some wonderful acrylic and watercolor paintings. A variety of subjects are exhibited. Fast loading, easy to navigate and artistically appealing. Very impressive, indeed. The Carol Carter web site must certainly be among the best on the web. It has managed to raise the overall level of excellence by several yards!

DONNA BARNES-ROBERTS - Donna's page is "A Home Page For Lovers of Fine Art." Her approach to site design and navigation is both humorous and effective. At time of entry, the site index includes- Gallery & Essays on Art; Art Exhibits in the Pasadena/Glendale Area; Biography; Workshops & Artist Travel; and Links to Pages for Art Lovers.

DAVID PETERSON - David is having fun pushing himself toward excellence. He notes, "Many years ago in high school I knew what I wanted to do with my life. Over the years I lost sight of that dream of being a professional artist ... I did not use my artistic talent to draw and paint." He further notes, "Then I discovered watercolor. I am in a hurry to paint ... I paint to grow closer to nature." David is determined to paint 100 watercolors and post all or most of them on the web. He paints frequently, so you can easily watch his progress from week to week. Great idea. Let him know your thoughts!

GERALD O'CONNELL - Gerald's web site is called Kurai Hoshi Gallery, where he displays his talent with many media. This link will take you directly to Gerald's Watercolour page where you see several beautiful landscape paintings. From there, you can use his index to view other areas of creativity, including a rather extensive collection of links to other sites.

JOHN N. STEWART - In his personal statement Stewart says, "A lot of people wonder why I paint in such diverse styles - I've been told that 'you will never succeed in art unless you do one thing well.' To me, that statement spells death to the creative process. I have to stretch out and try everything. I have experimented with varied types of media (i.e. welded metals, collage, oil,watercolor, pastel, etching etc.). I just enjoy whatever I am working with." John's site shows the joy and creativity with which he works (including original music)

MARY ANN BECKWITH - Mary Ann Beckwith has taught watercolor, drawing and design at Michigan Technological University since 1973 helping engineers- and scientists-to-be exercise both sides of their brains. Mary Ann's book, "Creative Watercolor- A Step by Step Guide and Showcase" (1996), is in its second printing. Her work is also featured in five books [listed on her site]. Mary Ann states, "Artistry is not bounded by the arts. I tell my students that as they become more confident in their own creativity it will make them a better engineer, mathematician, or forester. My goal is to help students reach their greatest potential." Ms. Beckwith received the university's distinguished teaching award in 1996. If it is true one is known by the company one keeps, MTU is in good hands. You can read a review of and/or place an order for "Creative Watercolor - Step-by-Step Guide and Showcase," from my Book Store page.

MAURY'S WATERCOLOR PAGE - Maury Kettell has some interesting things going on at his site. At the time of this entry Marty writes, "Several of my online artist friends and I decided to take on a group watercolor project. What we wanted to do, was each of us to paint a watercolor based on a common theme." Detail are available at the link shown above.

SALVATORE VENTURA - Watercolor paintings relating to the details of classical architecture. This site is another wonderful example of the high degree of excellence and completeness that can be found on the web.

KAREN JACOBS - Contemporary realism and abstract paintings on canvas and paper. Text from Karen's site,"... loose and visually abstract expressions of shapes and designs, as if seen through prisms of shattered glass. Besides pattern like tracks, each painting contains large splotches of color that resemble spilled cans of paint or Rorschach tests ... Oriental carpets, tracks and abstraction have given Jacobs' art a creatively new and singularly unique direction."

KELLYANN BROWN GALLERY OF ART - Kellyann's happiness, sharing attitude, love of watercolor and the process of discovery shines brightly here! She says, "I am a fledgling artist ... I have started to keep a "journal" ... to show my students ways to make their journals come alive." Kellyann's Gallery supports the concept of keeping painting "simple" and is one part of a "family approach" to the Home Page concept

LIZ DONOVAN - Liz is interested in capturing sunlight in her paintings. She is the author of a Northlight book titled, "Painting Sunlit Still Lifes in Watercolor." Details and an Amazon.com link are available on her site. I am particularly drawn to the beautiful, abstract shapes on which her watercolors appear to be based.

MARK DANIELS - MARK DANIELLS is an artist living on the North Shore of Kauai, in the beautiful town of Hanalei. His web site features a collection of tropical watercolors and limited edition prints. My wife and I first discovered Mark's watercolors and met his wife the year of hurricane Iniki. He graciously spends much time talking "watercolor," "art and business," and "the Internet" with us. Mark has a wonderful home right off the main road of Hanalei directly across the street from the Hanalei School and an adjacent studio gallery (which he built himself). You can't miss it! Visitors are welcome to drop in, talk with him and see him working on his latest creations. His wife runs a child care business next to the studio so someone is almost always there!
