There is a problem with art on the net, and I have dealt with problems of any reproduction of my work - which is vitreous enamels, glass fired onto copper and silver. I work with transparent enamels almost exclusively. The metal is polished before the glass is fired onto it. Part of the joy in looking at the work is seeing the clarity and depth of color and enjoying the change in shades of color as the piece is manipulated in the light. There is absolutely no way to convey this aspect when a work is photographed or scanned to be put on the net. However, I have found that I can at least convey some idea of what I do by scanning my enamels and putting the results on my website. And people who know my work know its quality and know that they are looking at a reproduction that cannot convey the piece exactly. The site is at: enamelist.com One interesting and unexpected result: I had a card printed to announce the site. The designer used the scanned images and sent that information to the printer. The results were amazingly good - better than a slide because the information was more accurate than anything I have had done by photographers over the years.
