Using artwork to make your home look better.

I have been walking about regional galleries recently over North Wiltshire, West Wiltshire, Kennet and South Wiltshire and found that the many galleries be they in Chippenham Wiltshire or Malmesbury Wiltshire are packed with some fantastic local artists prints and a number of fantastic national artists prints. I thought I would provide an insite of some brilliant artists that are about at the moment that have created pieces that are of benefit taking a look at. Art is for all of us and a decent print placed in the right space of a room can create a different kind of environment.


The first artist I wanted to look at is the Scottish artist Jack Vettriano who I feel is producing brilliant pieces of art if you are into film noir. For me when I look at his paintings I feel like I’m looking at a clip from an American detective scene or a scene from Miss Marple. Seems a little blasé perhaps but place with that a real feel of femininity and strength and you will begin to get a sense of his work. Jack Vettriano’s work can be found in print all over the planet and adds strong tones to a room when you need to add depth and tension.

The 2nd painter I needed to discuss was Beryl Cook who goes away from moody tones to humorous large characters. I feel Beryl Cook was one of Britain’s greatest painters of British character scenes. Many people will see her painted people as large ladies on a beach, but the diversity of her work brings large quantities of humour to normal scenes of real people having a moment. Have a look as I know she will make you smile, her work is bright and lifts the mood of a place.

The 3rd person I wanted to look at is Philip Gray the Irish artist who produces beautiful moody scenes that are so dramatic and effective that you have a real sense how it might have been to be looking onto them yourself. His painting is very inspiring using colours that only nature’s beautiful sunsets and dawns can reveal. There is always a sense of dynamic silence about his paintings and is really of benefit a look if you like dramatic landscapes. Most homes will benefit from pieces of this artists work.

The Fourth painter I needed to talk about was Duncan Macgregor who produces scenes that reveal his love of the sea. Many of his paintings have ships sailing through their expanse which for those that love the sea like myself puts in points of attention in very reflective scenes of the ocean. His paintings are often quite striking using strong colours to reflect the brightness of the sea.

These are excellent artists to look at to provide you a wide range of styles that show the huge effect art can have on you or other individuals as they go into a room. Art I think should be something that helps you to daydream about something else beyond your day to day. It can make all the difference to a room with empty walls, providing just the feel you need to reflect an aspect of self.

Choosing Among Your Web Hosting Options

Selecting a web hosting provider can be a confusing and overwhelming decision. There are so many different types of hosting, and so many different providers that you can get really frustrated when trying to make the best decision. The first thing you need to get straight is all of the different types of hosting. For most websites, shared hosting is the best solution. Depending on the complexity and security needs of your site, as well as the nature of your business, this solution might also be ideal for you. Shared Web Hosting Shared hosting is the most commonly used type of hosting, and is the most effective and economical solution for the hosting needs of most small to medium company websites.

Uglygov.com The Social Networking Website for Politics

The first social network for politics, www.uglygov.com, has just opened its doors, and not a moment too soon.  Those of you that have been paying attention lately are probably shocked at the power grab going on in Washington D.C.  The America most of us love is fading away. Freedoms are fading away.  The U.S. Constitution is just a piece of paper, and no longer a contract between government, and its citizens. Welcome Americans and patriots.  Tyranny has taken over our government.  They have stopped listening to the people.  They have forgotten that they work for us.  Join our social network of patriots.

We need people to get involved.  This is our country, build on the blood, sweat, and tears of generations of proud Americans.  In mere months our leaders have ruled via fiat and are moving us faster and faster toward Western European style socialism.  Socialism has been a massive

To be successful on the World Wide Web / Internet takes time, effort and of course money. Introduction Deciding to get onto the World Wide Web / Internet today has never been quicker or easier. There are so many options from "do it yourself", Choose a pre-made template or choose from over a million Web designers ranging from the ridiculously cheap to the mega expensive. Many first ventures onto the Internet end in disillusionment, massive expense, or simply walk away the project and forgetting the whole thing. Why is that? The Internet is a massive beast and is built on a highly technical environment. The reality of the environment is hidden from us by friendly front-end systems. Which is great by encouraging more people to use it. But by not understanding how it all works means t
