Why is “Dance at Bougival” by Pierre-August Renoir one of the most famous and popular oil paintings. What makes this lovely piece of fine art so enticing? It depicts a scene that is elegant, romantic, and tasteful. Who would not dream about being in the shoes of either of the dancing partners, being held so sensually? Renoir captured a feeling of lightness and desire when he painted this attractive couple. The original oil painting was created at La Maison Mourlot in Paris and is now at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Many reproductions of this lovely work of art have been made in prints or posters, but none do justice to the original. The good news is that you can own one of the few limited edition lithographs of Dance at Bougival. There are few available, however, one is offered at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. This signed lithograph comes in an elegant decorative gold frame that is ready for hanging. It is also accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Have in your home the fine art found in an art gallery exhibition. Enjoy the beauty of the dance each and every day.

THE AMAZING BRETT LIVINGSTONE-STRONG
Brett Livingstone-Strong has a reputation as an artist that is beyond all other modern artists by far. He is recognized throughout the world for his incredible artwork. Who else has been commissioned by the United States government to create The Bicentennial Constitution Monument, or by the country of Japan to produce the Nagoya Sister City Goodwill Monument? He was also commissioned to create four official posters for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Strong is the master of carvings, such as the one of John Wayne into a rock he purchased, but he is also known for his sculptures, watercolors and lithographs with some of his works selling for over a million dollars. His painting of Michael Jackson, entitled “The Book” sold for 2.1 million dollars. His talents were even recognized with a Grammy award for album cover he created for Fleetwood Mac’s “Tango in the Night.”
Although these are the works of Strong that are out of range for most people to own, there are many that are far less expensive and affordable to many. One of his most famous works is a set of 4 watercolors entitled Les Fleurs Suite. This set of watercolors was created and re-created in limited edition lithographs, however, the set that is offered at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com is one of the rare sets available. This particular fine art set is one of only 50 artists proofs and it is being offered at a discounted price. The name of each floral, its number and Brett Livingstone-Strong’s signature is in his original hand at the bottom of each piece. Each is in a decorative matted gilt wood frame. The buyer of this Suite will receive the Certificate of Authenticity for each piece along with a glossy of the 1994 “Art Times” Newsletter that announced the release of these magnificent florals. How incredibly special would it be to own this unusual artwork? Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. It is an investment that will only increase in value, while you can enjoy owning the fine art of one of the true masters of our time.

THE ART DECO ERA NEVER FADES
Art Deco is still as appealing as ever. The emergence of Art Deco can be attributed to Erte, whose name is from the French R.T., his initials (Romaine de Tirtoff). Erte was best known for his covers of Harper’s Bazaar Magazine which began in 1915. From there, he designed costumes and stage sets for the most famous. He also produced the most incredible lithographs, serigraphs and sculptures. One sculpture in particular, named The Mystic is based on the costume design for Aileen Pringle in the 1925 film entitled “The Mystic”. All molds of this sculpture were destroyed upon completion of the edition, making it that much more desirable. It is bronze with gold leaf and sits on a black lacquer base. What a find for someone who wants to add this incredibly elegant sculpture to their home. It will be the topic of conversation for all who see it and add beauty to your surroundings everyday. For other lithographs, serigraphs, giclees, sculptures and much more, please visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com.

THIS IS NO BUDDHA YOU HAVE EVER SEEN
When someone thinks of Buddha, it usually conjures up the image of the founder of the Buddhist religion. This image is certainly beautiful to many, but there is another image with a similar name that is quite different. Edna Hibel created an original stone lithograph which she named Jimmy Buddha. Unlike the more familiar Buddha, Jimmy Buddha is a delicate sketch of a sweet, enchanting, elegant young woman. Hibel created only 18 of these images sometime prior to 1974. None have been sold for over 20 years, making it very rare. There is finally one for sale —- truly an art collector’s find. Don’t let this one get away. The opportunity may never arise again in your lifetime. In addition to this unique piece, there are many other distinct works of art at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. It’s worth browsing through, just for the pleasure of your time.

ELEGANT SENSUALITY IN FINE ART
What is considered elegant or sensual differs depending on the taste of one person to the next, especially when it comes to fine art. There is one artist by the name of Janet Treby, who has managed to depict two portrait images of the same woman, both of which are appealing and enticing to all. There is a gentleness and calmness in these portraits that everyone will find attractive. The titles of these two works are Interlude and Camisole. Treby created these as seriolithographs. They are signed, titled and numbered in gold ink and each comes with its individual Certificate of Authenticity. The frames are identical and perfectly suited to the portraits. They can also be displayed in any décor, immediately ready for hanging. These gorgeous works of art have a grace and beauty that is not often seen. The pieces can be purchased as a set or individually at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. Please visit to see the works of many other renowned artists featured at this site.

OWN A MUSEUM PIECE
The stock market is spiraling downward once again. You definitely do not want to have your money invested there at present. The first question is: So where can you still put your money and see it grow? The answer is to invest in fine art. The second question that may come to mind is: What kind of fine art? This is a much more difficult question because it depends on each individual’s taste. It can be a lithograph, watercolor, giclee or sculpture. The one important feature, however, is that it must have future value for your investment to grow. The art should be an original or limited edition piece — the rarer, the better.
Consider, for instance, the artwork of Pierre Auguste Renoir. First of all, everyone knows his name and reputation as a genius artist. That immediately ensures that his work will have value. Secondly, although Renoir was prolific, there are some works that are very rare — such as his Bust of Coco. This exquisite sculpture was created from the original plaster made by him. This featured piece is Museum Edition #30/30. This sculpture is only one of two works that Renoir executed entirely with his own hands. Upon completion of the edition all molds made from the original plaster were destroyed.
This valuable sculpture will not only be a good investment, but it will give you the pleasure of enjoying it in your home. It will give your guests something to talk about and admire. What better place to put your money? If you are interested in other works of art by Renoir or other masters, please visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com.

THE U.S. DOLLAR VS. FINE ART
It is well known that the U.S. Dollar has come under tremendous pressure over the last few years, particularly with interest rates so low. So what does this do to gold, silver and yes, even fine art? These assets are boosted to their all time highs. This is confirmed by the Mei Moses Art Index which tracks the sale of fine art pricing.
You can invest in an art fund, however, the required capital is quite high to get into one of these funds. Most people do not have that capital. Instead, for a far smaller amount, you can buy a piece of fine art yourself. Enjoy its beauty in your home while your investment increases in value. It will give value to your home as well. There are so many reasonable pieces available at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. It is worth the time to look.

FINE ART- IS IT BETTER TO INVEST OR OWN?
Many studies have been done to determine the value of owning fine art. The Mei Moses Fine Art Index was created by two professors at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Their index compares the sale and resale of art to determine its profitability over time by compiling data that allows them to track the long-term performance of fine art. Moses and Mei have compiled 9,000 such repeat-sale pairs and add between 300 and 400 every six months, enabling them to compile their index.
So what does their index tell us? In fact, fine art has outperformed the stock market and sometimes by far. In an article written by Daniel Gross, entitled “Painting for Profit” he states “ . . . and in the five years between 2001 and 2005, art trounced stocks.” Fine art has done so well that Fine Art Funds have been created by some of the top investment firms.
So what are the pros and cons of investing in an art fund versus owning the art, itself? One obvious difference is that you do not own a particular artwork when in a fund. You cannot see the beauty of your investment on your wall. The second difference is that your money is more liquid in the fund and, although you may a nice profit, in all likelihood, it will not be as great a profit as when you sell the individual artwork.
So why not surround yourself with beauty while increasing your net worth by buying your own fine art? You can find many incredibly beautiful pieces by some of our most famous artists and at various ranges of prices at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com.

BUY FINE ART AND THEN GIVE IT AWAY
Yes, it’s true. Buy a piece of art that you love, enjoy its beauty for a period of time and then give it away. Yes, there are those who will donate their artwork for a substantial amount of money and take the tax deduction or use it to offset the cost of college tuition. This will often save them even more than selling the piece and is usually worth far more than what they paid for the art.
The value of fine art has skyrocketed over and above the stock market in recent years. A person can purchase a piece today and in a short amount of time, donate it for a value that is far beyond their cost. Institutions are strapped for money these days and are delighted to receive such a gift.
There is a Spring sale that ends May 31 at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. Just enter the discount code SPRING2010 at checkout to get a 10% discount on any work of art. That can result in a very large savings. So, visit today and see what you might like to give away someday.

RECORD SETTING SALES?
There seems to be no holding back when it comes to the value of Fine Art. Once again, another record has been broken — this time a Picasso was sold for $106.5 Million. That is amazing. Who has that kind of money? You may not have those bucks, but there is still some good news for all of us in this. First of all, the fact that fine art continues to rise while all else is going in the reverse direction, tells you where you should probably put your money. Secondly, you certainly don’t need that kind of dough to buy a creation by one of the art masters. You can spend a pittance of what you might suspect, and still enjoy having a true work of art to admire in your home or office. Take, for instance, the works of Renoir, such as La Balancoire that are being sold at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. If you would prefer to spend even less, check out the Chagall piece. The best part is that this site is currently offering a 10% discount until the end of May, reducing the price even further. Just enter SPRING2010 at checkout. The unframed works are all shipped for free. What a great time to add to your portfolio and love what you see.

GIVE THE GIFT OF ART FOR MOTHER’S DAY
Yes, we are approaching that time of year when you have to put your brain into gear to figure out what to give that important female in your life. Your mind runs through the usual commonplace gifts that she gets every year, over and over again. Of course, you know that she will appreciate anything she receives, but will it be something that she will cherish and admire? Is it something that she will look at and continue to love in years to come? Perhaps you should consider a beautiful piece of fine art that she can enjoy in her home forever. One artist in particular, Edna Hibel, is famous for her artworks of mother and child, a most appropriate theme for Mother’s Day. Paivi’s Embrace is one such piece. If this does not suit you, there are many other wonderful works of art to consider at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. Whatever you choose, this is a gift that will last forever.

ART LOVERS’ ALERT — YOUR INVESTMENT IS SAFE
Yes, it’s true. Fine art was resilient to the recession. That’s good news in several ways. First, it is probably one of the only investments you made that actually did not lose money in the last few years. In fact, in all likelihood your art is now more valuable than ever. The best part is that you have been able to enjoy your art as it has gained value. You certainly cannot say that about stock certificates, unless you have lined your walls with them.
An article in the BBC News quotes Jeremy Lamond from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as saying, “Arts and antiques have remained pretty resilient throughout the recession and this latest survey once again demonstrates their strength as an investment class.” This same article also states that “17% more surveyors reported rising rather than falling prices of art and antiques in the final quarter of 2009, up from 14% in the previous quarter. This was the highest since the first three months of the year.”
This is the greatest news — that art is still a very sound investment. While the market remains uncertain, there is still a place to put your money while surrounding yourself with beauty. For some wonderfully priced fine art from many renowned artists, visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com.

INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME
We all know that the real estate market has suffered enormously recently, but there are signs of a strengthening market. There is still a glut of homes for sale, so the buyer’s market prevails. If you are trying to sell your home, you must set your home apart from every other that is in competition with yours. There are many ways that you might be able to do that. One is to make sure that your home looks like it’s in move-in condition. Make those minor repairs or do some simple and quick painting to give your home that clean, bright look. Another way to impress your potential buyers is to be sure that the home is decorated with elegance and glamour. It will add appeal and value to your home. One way to do this is to add lovely artwork, whether on the walls with sculptures on your tables or stands. Be sure not to buy the cheap stuff or that will just make your home look cheap as well. The money you spend on good artwork will add so much to your home’s appearance that you may very well get a higher price than you expected. The best part is that you get to keep the art when the sale is complete. For some great deals on original lithographs and sculptures, visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com and happy selling!

DOES THE DEATH OF AN ARTIST INCREASE THE VALUE OF HIS WORK?
The answer to that question may depend on whether or not the artist was known before his or her death as a respected artist and how prolific that artist was. There are many artists who never come to the forefront and whose works remain just pleasurable to those who own them, but are not high in value. Others seem to have notoriety while alive, but whose works gain attention and value when the source of the art has come to an end. Once such artist is Otto de Souza Aguiar, who died in 2006 and is best known for his mastery of the trompe d’oeil technique which means “trick of the eye”. This is an art technique involving extremely realistic imagery to create the image that objects appear in three dimensions, instead of actually being a two-dimensional painting. He was well known for being commissioned to do work for various organizations and agencies. Since his death, interest in his work seems to have escalated. Since most of his work was commissioned, there is much less available for the private collector. To see one of his works that is for sale, visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com. The elegant giclee entitled “Angelica” is for sale at a very reasonable price. This may turn out to be an excellent financial investment while enjoying the beauty of the piece over time.

A wonderful way to introduce children to the joys of owning fine art is to provide them with an original oil painting to which they can relate. Oil paintings have a soft sheen, and because the paint is thicker in some areas, the sheen is greater there. The colors will last many years with out fading or discoloration and will fit into most decors.
If the colors are bright and the design whimsical, they will stimulate a child’s creativity for greater happiness. The subject should be something to which a child can relate, such as landscape paintings which have a subject familiar to all children, and if painted in a bright, whimsical manner, really appeal to young children.
Children will appreciate the painting more if they talk about it. A parent could ask about the colors, what they are and how may, or about the design, how many triangles or rectangles, or where the bird would build hits nest, or a myriad of other questions to enable the child to think about and enjoy the painting. Come visit us at Murphy Art Studio to find a painting that appeals to your child.

IT’S NOT JUST THE STOCK MARKET THAT’S MOVING UP.
In a New York Times article on February 4, 2010 the latest Christie fine art auction in London produced incredible results. According to the article, “The market for Impressionist and Modern masters is shooting up once again with extraordinary energy.” Among the most famous of the artists whose works were for sale was Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Even some of his less renowned pieces went for big bucks. The article states, “When the first five lots sell in a row well above the high estimates, you know that the market is vibrant. The zest with which bidders competed over even very minor works by famous artists removed any doubts on that score.” Owning a beautiful piece of art by one of the masters does not mean you have to spend the money commanded at an auction house, nor should you have to pay the high auction house fees. Enhance your surroundings with an exquisite piece, including lithographs of the Renoir oils featured at Christie’s, by starting or adding to your own art collection. Visit http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com for some incredible deals on art by Renoir, Erte, Strong and many others.

Renoir Exhibit
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is presenting an exhibition of some of the original works of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, entitled Renoir in the 20th Century. To quote from the LACMA web site, this exhibition “on the last three decades of Renoir’s career, when, following his rupture with impressionism, he turned to an art that was decorative, classical . . .” One of the exhibited paintings is that of his artwork “Gabrielle et Jean”. It depicts Gabrielle Renard, Madame Renoir’s second cousin, who was also “nanny” to Jean Renoir, their second son. Limited edition lithographs of this special work of art were created around 1992 at the Maison Mourlot in Paris. They are offered at a very reasonable price with free shipping at http://www.FineArtAtDiscountPrices.com.

Encouraging children to paint and permitting them to paint whatever they like is so important in the development of children. It gives them tremendous power to create whatever they like and tell a long story about it. And remember, if they paint a blue cat or blue person, it might be because only blue paint is available! When children look at landscape paintings in Murphy’s Art Studio, they can relate to red tree trunks and pink or yellow skies.

It is said that play is the work of children. It is through play that children are able to discover their place in society , whether in the family, play group or school. Play helps children to know themselves, their capabilities and limitations.
Skipping through an imaginary forest, as in plein air paintings, encourages children to use their imaginations in play. Colorful, playful landscape paintings lift the mood toward positive attitudes. Murphy Art Studio is a good resource for gleeful, fantasy paintings.

Have you ever noticed that your pictures are not as vivid and bright as they use to be? More than likely they have been exposed to sunlight. When sunlight hits your artwork or pictures it fades the pigment in the ink or paint and bleaches it out. That is why you should be careful where you hang your pictures so that they only get filterd or better yet, no sunlight at all. If you do this one little thing, your artwork will last for years.

Imagine a world without art. No paintings,no billboards, no signs of any kind. Art has been an integral part of our lives ever since the first caveman ( or cavewoman ) scratched images on the walls of their caves. Those crude drawings were the beginning of art as we know it today. Thankfully, we now hae color and depth and every image under the sun, (and a few beyond). I am glad to be living in a time where you can find something for every person, mood, room and decor.

Today I would like to introduce myself and my website to all of you. My name is Melody and I own http://www.lightedpicturesonline.com I have been framing prints for about 15 years now and recently decided to take it to the next level. I take beautiful prints and bring them to life by accenting them with real lights. Artists like James Lee, Carl Valente, Billy Jacobs, Jim Hansel, and Larry Grossman all have stunning works of art that I have modified to draw you right into the picture. All pictures come in solid oak frames and are double matted. Not all prints can be accented with lights but these artists paint in the style of Thomas Kincade and I find them very easy to light. I can also light your prints or pictures. Custom framing is also available. So please stop by and visit anytime. I am always adding new prints as I find more and more artists so stop back often.

Geothermal Pool In Yellowstone Park
This is a shot of a geothermal pool in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. USA
These geothermal pools are fascinating to observe, and photograph.
The atmosphere around these pools is very harsh. The air is very heavily sulfuric, and very steamy from the hot water of the pools. The colors you see are naturally occuring from the different forms of algea that live in the different temperatures along the sides of the pools. They are very deep, very old, and very mysterious. These pools shown here are very calm. Some are very violent, as they boil, spatter, and even geyser into the air. Some are watery, like you see here, while others are very thick like mud. The ground in this area here is very crusty. You must walk on special raised walkways, or risk the fate of falling through the crust, and into these boiling hot pools. It’s a dangerous, but beautiful place. Definitely one of the most unique places on earth.

Abstract Art with Feeling!
The art of Norcross, GA artist Elsie Porter is an expression of both her mind and her heart. She paints abstract art that calls forth all kinds of feelings, from love to confusion. Although somewhat cathartic, her works are always full of color and energy. Her work is displayed both publicly and privately in collections from New York to London. She likes the fluidity of latex, the structure and richness of acrylic.
These paintings are each one-of-a-kind and vibrantly expressive – they make a great gift for a special occasion that your friend–or you–will want to remember often. The title and description for each painting convey what Elsie felt as she painted, and her art can arouse those same feelings in others.

A reminder of times gone by…
Melinda Clair’s renderings of country barns speak to the significance of the farm as an integral part of the American landscape. Her use of colors and contrast is striking in these original oil paintings and reinforce both the strength and solitude of America’s heartland. In recent years, she has included several unique barns of the European countryside, a reminder of the global farming community. What a wonderful gift for a good friend–or yourself!

Two Men holding a heavy weight 15th Century Italian Artist Ink and wash drawing highlighted with white chalk, gesso on grey paper by Domenico Mecarino Beccafumi - Siena 1484-1551 - Probably more than any other artitst of his time he exploit comtre-jour and lighting effects, as in the great nocturnal Birth of the Virgin altarpiece, 1543 now in Siena Pinacoteca. Labelled a “Mannerist” He assimilated Florentine, Umbrian and Roman influences into Sienese idiom traceable back to the Gothic art of Duccio. All of the Buccafumi work, despite internal evolution and change, combines calligraphic line and rhythmic contours with intense colourism. He made many trip to Rome as in 1511,1519, 1541. He was able to study all of Rafael paintings.He was intermittenly throughout the rest of his life, employed designing episode of biblical history in the pavement of Siena cathedral. In 1538-39 he worked in Pisa cathedral. Beccafumi demonstrated the ability to improvise on all’antica motifs, expecially in architecture, and his grasp of the principles of perspective.

Antonio Allegri called Correggio -Italian Artist 1494-1534 - 15th Century Drawing. Correggio was the most eclectic yet innovative High Renaissance painters, prosecursor of the Baroque and even anticipating a Rococo development. Born in Correggio (1494-1534,) in northen Italy he was active mostly in Parma, albeit almost certainly trained in Mantua in the workshop of either Mantegna or Lorenzo Costa. Important, however, is the small group of mythological and allegorical paintings for the Gonzaga. Around 1513-1514 various other influences become discernible in his work. The composition were probably composed by (Durer, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Giorgione, Mantegna,) but maybe reflected by Correggio. Details figure drawings testify to Correggio meticulouls preparation from the life for the orchestration of his soaring, forshortened figures and clouds masses. In Correggio’s religious works the effects express spiritual beauty, they give unsurpassed sensuality to his mythological paintings. His work is in many internayional Museum and private collections.
