This painting is by Rachel Stuart-Haas, a savvy Shreveport-based artist who has showed her work in galleries from Kansas City to Houston. Because she photographs her new work and posts the pieces to a photo-storage site called flickr.com, her friends and I get to follow the evolution of her imagination.
Because they're on flickr.com, she gets feedback from a variety of art-minded people. And because my home base for blogging is flickr.com, I can find and publish her work easily.
I'd like to ask each artist I know or any serious artist who reads this blog to consider posting to flickr.com and making me a contact.
I'm not promising that I'll post everything you do. But I can at least promise you that flickr.com - you can sign up for a free acount in about 5 minutes - is a stable and easy-to-use site. My wife and I have been using flickr for several years and have almost 10,000 photos stored there.
If you join flickr you'll probably upload a mix of art work and photos from your personal life. We mix it all in one account. You can package the art photos in a flickr Set; again, it's not difficult.
