Anybody who enjoys reading this blog and is seriously interested in seeing art on the web should regularly visit Lines And Colors, a blog run by Charley Parker out of Philadelphia. His mission is to select a new arts-related site every weekday, give a quick, thoughtful critique of it, and link on through. In the process, he is building up what is quickly becoming a fantastic catalog of arts resources on the net, with an emphasis on sites by living, working artists. He does this all in a very broad and open-minded way and, although he places an emphasis on realist art, he includes a remarkably large number of strains within that tradition. I've even been surprised by some of the posts. I'd never thought about architecural renderings as solid representational art, and yet one of his posts enlightened me.
Bravo, Charley, keep up the good work.

I subscribed a couple weeks ago, and have been enjoying the range of work Charley posts.
Thanks for the nice post and perceptive comments, Jeff. While it's always good to read that people like Lines and Colors, it's particularly gratifying when someone has this kind of reaction. You've hit it on the head. I enjoy introducing people to artists and resources in areas that they may already be interested in, but I take special delight in hoping that people will be exposed to work from another genre that they may not have come across otherwise.
It's my pleasure, Charley.
