New Website...

studio-still-life

This is an older still life of my studio desktop.  I think the size is about 40×30″.

My friend Doug and I have been doing a redesign of my website for the past several weeks. There are some fun new features, like the ability to sign up for my email blasts in the drop down menu on the top right of every page. Just enter your email in the box and click “Join.” If I already email back and forth with you you are probably already signed up to receive me email newsletters. There’s also a calendar, so you can see what I’ll be up to in the next few months. I’ll be posting about workshops and art shows that I’ll be a part of, along with any other art related news. The paintings page will be a little different in how it’s organized, but I think it will make a bit more sense. When you go to the paintings page you will be brought to the page for available paintings. You can also see images by the type of subject matter:  still life,  landscape,  figure. The whole website is a bit cleaner and has a color scheme I’m really happy with. Doug has made a site that is much easier for me to update with new information, and one that should be more fun for you all to navigate. Doug is a good friend who has a web design business here in Camden, ME and if you want to browse through some of the stuff he can do you should check out his site.

I’ll try to keep putting up some new images in the paintings section, to keep that fresh. And for the journal, I still have archives of all of the entries from the old website, but I’m only posting some of the most recent ones, and then I’m going to go through and put up a few of my favorite older ones. I’m not sure how many of you waste away the hours reading my old journal entries, but if you are intersted in seeing any specific entry you remember from long ago, I’m happy to try to hunt it down. In the meantime, I’ll be filling up this site with new posts.

    Nice new site. I like all the new features.

  2. Hey Colin, I like the look of the new site. It will be nice to make comments directly on the journal instead of through emails.

  3. Looks great Colin! I’m glad I can leave comments now =)

  4. Your virtuosity with color and especially with all this amount of detail always amazes me and is an inspiration.

    Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the new site. I look forward to seeing your comments and getting a bit more feedback than I did with the old site. I’ll do my best to keep new journal posts kind of frequent so that it’s worth your while to keep stopping by. Thanks again!

    I love the new website. I was the happy recipient of the next best thing as one of your paintings… your BOOK of paintings, for Easter. Are you working on anymore interior still lifes? Those are my favorite! Keep it up!
