The
Wittig Report - on the interface between Life and Art
Welcome to the Wittig
Report.
On the one hand there
is 'Art,' and on the other hand, there is 'Life,'
...and somewhere in
the middle, they meet.
April was
possibly the busiest month of my life, as I began exploring the realm of
Digital Painting, while at the same time, did not diminish my work at the
easel. I ended the month having far more work in progress, than I had
completely finished, and still had more than enough for this newsletter. If
some of the digital work looks like it was done by a beginner... it was!
Digital art demands an entirely new set of skills, none of which I have
mastered... yet.
Chance favours
the prepared mind.

The Self-Representing Artist, and eBay - A
Distinct Possibility
"I believe
that eBay will do more to shape the future of the fine visual arts, than the
gallery and museum scenes will do, in the years in front of us. The electronic
marketplace, of which eBay is a premiere member, has the capacity to connect
more of humanity to more of the producing artists, than the gallery scene ever
could, or ever wanted to."
