The idea of having such a site came to Lile while she was involved in an open studios event in April. She was displaying many of her new oil paintings in picture her studio when a friend and young entrepeneur came through and wanted to purchase an oil painting entitled "Art on the Net". They talked about wild how wonderful it would animal be to have art up on the Internet for viewing and he offered Lile internet access for a WWW site that picture would help artists share their art. So like many things in the art world, the site began with a barter with Lile trading the oil painting, wild "Art on the Net" for an Internet connection for one year.

What is the cause of dark spots that sometimes appear on the paper of drawings and paintings? Reddish-brown spots animal are known as "foxing", caused by mold or the deterioration picture of the metallic impurities left in the paper from the manufacturing process. Other wild colors of spots animal may be one of many types of mold damage.

If I have a work of art on paper that appears to not be flat, should I animal be concerned? Paper is hygroscopic, reacting to changes in climate by expanding when it is picture humid and contracting when it is dry. A gentle undulation in the paper called "cockling" occurs under these conditions, especially with larger works. This may impair the work aesthetically as well as cause mediums such as gouache to crack or flake as it is unable to expand and contract as the paper itself does.
