Alongside
Facebook and
Twitter, the internet has become a great place to find and share artwork and craft. A perfect example of this is
Flickr.
Flickr is an image and video hosting website, where professional and amateur photographers, painters and artists can share their work and online community. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media.

Nantucket Beach Art
Nantucket resident Artist Gail Sharretts is running an 8 day workshop of intensive study and painting en plein air in coastal France in the Fall of 2010.
This workshop is for those who would like to become more interpretive with their work through the medium of landscape painting and through various methods of abstraction. Beginning and more experienced painters are both welcome. The course will progress in terms of the individual needs of each student. Instruction will take place for three hours each morning for six days. Afternoons and evenings will be dedicated to one’s own study and exploration. Individual and group critiques will be offered as the course progresses. Cost includes accommodations and meals at our beautiful renovated stone farmhouse in the Brittany countryside and tours of the area. This is an opportunity to experience France as more than a tourist, to discover its beauty, history and culture in an authentic way.
Please visit the link to find out more about the Brittany workshops.
