Dang!

I wasn't sure if the layout I was getting was meant to be like that or a consequence of designing in IE.
Can you clarify?

interesting technique. I'm a photographer and I enjoyed looking at your work, or should i say that I wanted to enjoy your work more. The images are very small for such a detailed medium. I would think that you would want to show off your work more by giving people a larger/more detailed view of your work. JMHO. Just make sure you watermark your images so no one can take them.
Another idea is to have a pic of you doing the painting on a half finished work so people can see what it looks like in process. Sounds like a very interesting technique.
Site is nice but the stepped look looks more like a mistake than a design element in MHO. I like it but thought, "that's weird". It's also strange to have it changing due to the content on each page, so it's always moving around. Now that I think about it, it's very distracting. It would be cool if you could make it not move, but be a standard across the site.
Your mailing list form is wider than all the other pages and causes the page to "jump", might want to make it more narrow, to match the other pages.
you do have a lot of missing pics as jay has mentioned. fix them first.
i guess that's it for me. Hope i wasn't too hard on you. You do fine work.

I am currently working on that. I am adding detail images of small sections of the works. I don't want to use lager or better quality images because of the %$$&*#@'s that will steal images.

Yeah, I know I should but I just hate pix of myself. I was thinking about a before, during and after of the work alone. Also the detail image will show that I leave pieces of the B/W print exposed.

I used that stepped format to make the site look less commercial and linear. The gallery pages look the way I intended however, your right about the choppiness with the text pages. Does it look REALLY bad that I used one format for the gallery pages and another for the text pages? Could I just format the text pages better? I want to retain the same look and feel between the two types of pages but I am at a loss for a better idea. I am open to suggestions.

The site needs a lot of work. I desperately slapped in the changes prematurely because my placement in the search engines dropped from the first page to limbo. Desperate people do dumb things.

Good Grief! I should never have deleted the old folders from the server. I thought I had replaced all the missing jpgs. This has created more problems than I ever imagined. When I re-vamped the site I really did a half-a$$ job.
I never should have rushed through the changes, but I really felt had no choice. My work was going to be highlighted in an Arts magazine and I wanted to freshen the site for the publication date.

No, not at all, I'd rather get a new one torn here and get some constructive feedback on how to improve the sites presentation.
Mega Thanks
Ro
BTW Jim, I teach this technique and workshops will resume this summer
Just went to your site, the cylamen works are wonderful!

I replace all the missing files and pages and just went through the entire site. All images are there. The only pages/images on the failures report are obsolete. I still need to rework the mailing list form.
I am open to suggestions for solutions to the format differences between the text (2 column-white/gray) and image pages (3 column white/gray/white).
Thanks
