Inspirational Again
By Peace | November 18, 2006
It’s been more than a week since I last posted at Helium. My inspiration is back again and today I posted at Arts And Philosophy category. I have never studied arts or philosophy at all. But I like this topic. I love arts.
This is what I have written:
First impression is very important. When you meet a person for the first time, first impression of the person is one of the facotr which will determine whether you will meet up with this person again or to have any relationship with this person further. In sales, other than first impression, you also need to have a well-prepared and organized presentation so as to convince your clients. Similarly, a good online art galleries should also create a good impression and the website should be able to ‘present’ itself well, well enough to ‘communicate’ with the online art lovers.
Artists paint nice pictures and are good in arts. However, when it comes to website, they might not know about html, or microsoft frontpage or things like that. They might depend on the help of others to design the webpage for them and put up their pictures. There are so many categories of arts. There are still life, historian arts, inspirational arts and so on.
I am a art lover and I have been blogging for about more than a year. I love arts you can see that I have mostly paintings on my blogs, especially Motivation Peek. My first blog is Peace Starts With A Smile. I have always been searching for pictures on the internet. And I have come across several online art galleries. For example, there are Awaken Vision, Arts.com, ArtPrints and so on. However not all appeal to me.
One of the online art galleries, Palette of Vision, is one that leave a deep impression on my mind. I have never come across another similar site which can ‘win’ it. On first arrival of the site, you can see a display of big enough pictures or victorian arts. They are big enough to have a rough idea of what the picture is about. If you would like to have a detail picture of it, then one click of it will bring you to a big image of it.
Colours play a very important part in presentation. Palette of vision has a black background. The words are lily white/cream colour and with the paintings, everything match so well and the paintings stand out so well. One look at it, you can have a view of not only one piece of arts but at least 10 of them. The presentation and display is so well done that you just want to click for the next set of display.
Some art galleries, show small images and you always need to ‘click to view larger images’ or you need to constantly ‘zoom in and zoom out’, this brings so much inconvenience to the online art lovers and with the small images, it is so hard to see the overall picture also. This is definitely not seen in Palettes of Vision.
If victorian arts does not appeal to you, then besides Palettes of Vision there is still several websites from the great artist Thomas Kinkade. His work is terrific. I have posted a few posts about him and his works at my blogs, No Place Like Home, I Am Peace and Arts Inspiration.
This painter of light, Thomas Kinkade, offers at least 5 websites where you can see his great masterpieces. You can see his links at my blog I Am Peace (http://whoispeace.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-love-thomas-kinkade.html). If you are a lover of inspirational arts, there’s a variety of his work, from structures like bridges, cottages to nature like gardens and so on. There are sculptures and collectibles too. This definitely offers you more variety and with a few websites all of different ‘presentation’, one of them will definitely suit your taste.
With these handful of websites of Thomas Kinkade, he has a lot more to offer in terms of varieties. In terms of being ‘user friendly’ I would find Palettes of Vision being ‘easy to use’ — there isn’t much clicking to be done, hence, searching for a picture is faster. However, this is limited to only victorian arts and there are no sculptures or collectibles and things like that, which Thomas kinkade websites could offer.
Thomas Kinkade websites, communicate well with the art lover or ‘readers’ to the site. New features, new master pieces and new events are ‘announced’ or conveyed to the audience, in addition to a note about the artist. For real arts collector, your framing needs are taken into consideration as well.
Which is a better website, Thomas Kinkade or Palettes of Vision, when I am looking for victorian arts, I choose Palettes of Vision (http://www.palettesofvision.com/sitemap_main1.html). When I am searching for inspirational cottages paintings I would go for Thomas Kinkade (http://www.kinkadecentral.com/). When I am searching for inspirational sculptures and collectibles, I would go for Thomas Kinkade, the Prince of Peace. I love his sculpture of Prince Of Peace.
