It’s Friday. Maybe, you have just finished your finals and feel tired and a bit empty 
inside, or perhaps, your exams are not over yet and you have to push yourself to study some more. Here’s a tip to lift your spirit, reignite your imagination and have some fun without leaving your home. Visit a virtual art gallery. You can find a lot of great artists from all over the world on the internet these days. With a bit of imagination, you can transport yourself to some wonderful places:
Enter a whimsical world of figurative sculptures and art dolls at Art Propensity created by Patricia Anders.
Pretend you are in a nineteenth century living room of an animal lover and enjoy the portraits of dogs at the William Secord Gallery (I had pleasure to visit the gallery in person – I know one of the dogs in this painting).
Tour isolated villages of the Sierra Madres in Jalisco, Maxico through the works of my artist friend Gene Romero. He has just recently gone virtual!
In mood for some landscapes? Yuriy Kirsanov, whose photo I chose for this post, will take you to Russia’s countryside. If you like photography, also check out images at iStockphoto.
Get inspired by the winners of the Website Design Awards and the 2007 Winter Semi Annual Contest winners of the American Design Awards.
Look under your feet! You can find amazing pavement drawings by Julian Beever.
Where do you go for art?
