Well, I have to admit: I am not much of a blogger! I haven't put anything here for AGES! My Bad.
I have been busy with other, highly stimulating projects such as creating a fake table from prims in SecondLife. Actually I am setting up a place there to show my drawings and paintings, and it takes a lot of time accompish that. If you don't belive me, just try it yourself! As soon as you get the hang of it, its not more complicated or complex or nerdy or techie than creating and maintaining a website. Hm, now think of it..it's actually easier! It's much more fun in creation and time just passes by.(Not mention the fact you can talk to your SecondLife friends while u creating..and ask tips when you stuck or messed up something. Can you say that when building a website?)
It will be a great and fun place to visit when I am finished with it. But for now it's secretly developing, so no links sorry.
There will be a link up here when its done, and my website www.monikastattner.com will also contain a tab for art savvy avatars to visit.
That's all folks!! Wishing you a wonderful week! 'Til next time!

Thoughts on fine art
I am a part of couple of art related discussion forums on the internet. These forums are POD related, focusing on selling art as prints. Questions are popping up related to define fine art, decorative art, digital art, and last but not least...photography.
I was thinking about it for a while and have this conclusion: the truth is - it's not the artist who will categorize the material, but the people out there who are looking for an art-piece. Their background, tradition and other exposures to art will define what is art(fine art) for them and what is not, if they want to buy an ART piece. If they just want to have some deco in their home, office etc, they most likely will do some "easy picking" to get something fast on the wall, and I have a feeling they WILL call it "ARTprint", no matter what. :)

New painting is done
I just finished this oil painting of autumn leafs. Which were actually spring leafs but the way the sun was hitting them, somewhat reminded me to autumn. Lots of color, deep warm shadows, happy sparkles, and when the light wind awakened the leafs start to dance.. making interesting lights and shadows..it was very animated...I loved it!!! I took a photograph of it to remind me to this beautiful performance of the plum tree.
I titled it Autumn Dance I. as I have another variation in my mind for the same theme.

Rembrandt
This evening I was wondering around the web, and found this very interesting reading about Rembrandt and his upcoming birthday on July 15th. The article is illustrated with his drawings.
