New Website Wow's Art World
A new website is now on the seen which offers an afordable way for all of us to obtain Quality Art to place in our homes, fyneart.com produces quality work, focusing on photo to paintings, and photo to canvas, the artist (James Martin) who lives and paints in Argyll, Scotland produces amazing portraits, on the site you can see detailed examples of photographs turned into paintings, an excellent gift for a bride or new mother or to anyone for that matter who wants a family portrait to hang in there home without breaking the bank to do so.
fyneart.com may be new on the web as of March 2008 but have been producing and selling art through other avenues for many years.
The Artist is James Martin, born and raised in Scotland by the shores of Loch Fyne where he and his family still live.
James has been painting for over 25 years and has sold paintings to many satisfied customers from as far a field as Hong Kong, Italy and more recently in Germany, although James now prefers to focus his talent to portraits, he is equally at home painting landscapes and seascapes.
James now concentrates mainly on his digital paintings rather than on traditional and has become very proficient in that medium. With over 18 years of experience in digital media and the leaps forward taken in software and hardwares in the last 5, James produces his finest work yet.
Often is the case where digital artists like James are mistaken for artists who use the likes of photoshop software etc as there sole medium, this should not be mistaken for that but instead each stroke caresses the canvas as sensitively and precisely as a traditional brush would, each photo to painting taking between 10 and 15 hours to complete and using not only his digital skills but calling upon years of experience as a watercolourist
and acrylic artist
well worth a visit to www.fyneart.com so spread the word, this is a website that is here to stay.

Green is More Than Just a Color in the Art Business
With the emphasis on “going green” on most people’s minds these days, Nadine and Glenn’s Original Lobster Trap Art is a pioneer in their industry. Located in the Florida Keys, they take old and unusable lobster traps and recycle them, creating unique weathered picture frames from the wood. Because the traps are underwater, the wood gets very rustic from not only the water, but the marine animals that live on the trap. The wood, which varies from fisherman to fisherman, ages differently, making each frame a unique piece of art.
Most of the traps have been used for over 5 seasons in the Florida Keys lobster business. The season runs from August 6th through April 1st each year. During the off season, the lobstermen repair the broken traps and remove any old wood that will not make it through the next season. This repair wood is also used to make the picture frames. Nadine and Glenn collect the loose wood from Key West to Key Largo every year. They store the wood slats in a large warehouse until it is needed to make the picture frames. They also collect the whole lobster traps that cannot be repaired. These whole traps are dismantled, and the wood is placed with the loose wood collected during the repair season. “By recycling the lobster pots, we keep the landfills from being the final resting place for these traps” explains Nadine Lahti, co-founder of the company.
Nadine and Glenn are also both artists and they put their Original Paintings in these nautical frames. “It is like getting 2 pieces of artwork in one!” according to Glenn Lahti, the other partner in the company. Nadine paints mostly birds, fish, and other animals that are indigenous to the Florida Keys. Her Blue Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, Egrets, Turtles, and other game fish are very detailed. Glenn, on the other hand, paints local seascapes and landscapes usually putting in at least one Palm Tree, his trademark. He has also done several of the Florida Keys reef lighthouses. To see pictures of these fabulous frames, and the tropical art of Nadine and Glenn, visit their website at www.lobstertrapart.com.
