A Walk with Wildlife

Hiking, camping and summer activities outdoors always include a few sightings of the area's wildlife. What outdoor adventures do you have planned for this summer and what creatures do you expect to see on your travels?















Artists are encouraged to post their relative art links in the comments section - if you've got artwork inspired by wildlife, we want to see it!

Art For Dad

This Father's Day, perhaps a work of art would be a nice change of pace when it comes to a gift from the heart. Whatever Dad's tastes are, you are sure to find something special that speaks to his interests.

For the fisherman...
   


For the music lover...



For the wine connoisseur AND dog lover - bonus!



For the naturalist...



For the strongest man you know...


Have a great art gift idea for Dad? Post a link in the comments section. If you are an artist on Etsy, you can also post your links in this thread.

Fine Art Friday

What is it?
Fine Art Friday is a grassroots movement to promote fine artists online.

How can I participate?
Anyone can participate and here's how!

Twitter
Every Friday share links to your favorite fine art (or your own for that matter) with the hashtag #FineArtFriday. This creates a search-able keyword to click on and view other participating Twitter posts. You can also share links to your special Fine Art Friday blog posts or Fine Art Friday Etsy treasuries. We have created a Fine Art Friday Twitter account so we can retweet our favorites and keep a weekly history of this movement. Follow us at http://twitter.com/FineArtFriday.

Flickr
Join our Flickr group where you can share your Fine Art and meet and greet fellow artists! This is a public group so we ask that you be conscientious of our intentions and add appropriate images to the pool. Anything that is considered Fine Art is welcome - including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography and mixed media. (If I'm missing something here, let me know). You can upload up to 3 images a day to the pool and we may tweet your image on Fridays on Twitter. Join the group here - http://www.flickr.com/groups/fineartfriday/.

Etsy
All of the Etsy community is welcome and encouraged to join in on the Fine Art Friday fun! You can create all art treasuries on Thursday or Friday and tag them FineArtFriday (no spaces) so we can search through everyone's curated collections. Join the Etsy Fine Art Friday team here - everyone is welcome to join!

Blogs
You can do special Fine Art Friday blog posts about anything under the Fine Art sun that interests you. Perhaps it's a feature of an artist you admire or an artist interview, maybe it's about what art means to you, what art moves you, or what you love about a particular medium or style. It's up to you! Share the blog on Twitter with the #FineArtFriday hashtag, in the Etsy promo thread, post the link on the Fine Art Friday Facebook Page or anywhere else you'd like to share news of the Fine Art Friday movement. We would appreciate you including a link to this blog or our Twitter account if you do make a Fine Art Friday blog post so you can help spread the word!


Facebook 
Come share your favorite art with us at the Fine Art Friday Facebook Page. Feel free to add links to your online portfolio, shop, flickr photos…anywhere you share your art can be added to the wall.
