1. SPOTLIGHTING NEW ARTISTS

We are please to promote the following new outstanding member artists on display at Artwell:

Konrad Sheehan
Mixed Media - Glendale , CA

"This, an encaustic piece which is #1 in a series of 4, is entitled 9 11 01. Encaustic is a 3000 year technique utilizing melted wax, pigment and demure resin. Jasper Johns successfully reintroduced this technique to the world in the 50's. …This piece represents the American Flag. (an ode to Jasper Johns)"

4. ART POLL RESULTS
Last month we asked our visitors…

"If you could go back in time, which artist would you most like to meet?"

The results revealed that van Gogh is the most popular choice among Artwell visitors. Picasso and daVinci tied at second place, with Goya and Caravaggio at third. No one who took the poll was interested in meeting Warhol. Sorry Andy.

You can talk about your favorite artists in the message boards.
