Welcome to the New Virtual Gallery Were back in a new improved way. Although the Home Page may look similar, the changes "underneath the hood" have been massive. The entire website is now database driven which will allow us to update the site with greater frequency and ease. There will always be new material to look at while sold material will be removed as soon as sales are final. So it looks like more frequent visits from you will be necessary to stay current with us. We have also added an Our Artists Books section so you can keep abreast of our artists publications. We have also taken our old undifferentiated Gallery Inventory section and divided it up in to coherent sub-sections (click the linked text above or on the Home Page click on Gallery Inventory to see them) this will make your browsing more directed. We also added a Sales and Bargains section where there are always discounted specials and great values for your consideration. Its like having our Holiday Sale all year long. And last but not least we have added The Print Rail to help with those difficult final choices. The print rail is similar in function to the "shopping cart" on some websites. In the art gallery; however, there are no carts (heaven forbid) but rather a Print Rail which is a platform upon which a prospective buyer lays out the art work under consideration in order to make final choices. Theres one in my bricks and mortar office, and I wanted to have my virtual clients share in its usefulness. As you browse the gallery website add those prints that are of interest to you to your personal Print Rail by selecting "add to print rail" which is on the page that displays the large image with the catalogue description and price. When you are ready to review your print rail choices click on the button "go to print rail" which is on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Searches for material accessed by clicking the "Search" button on the Home Page has never been easier. Keyword searches produce "contact sheet" results which are totally visual. Our illustrated alphabetical artist index is actually a mini catalog of the whole website, complete with artist, title, thumbnail, inventory number, and price. Due to its size, it can take a while to load so please be patient; you will be rewarded! Finally for those of you searching for work not shown on our site we offer our Search Service where you can take advantage of our dealer and collector computer network which can usually locate just what you want. Whenever you visit the site youll want to come to the Whats New area accessed from the Home Page to see some of what weve added since your last visit.Yet to come is a sophisticated, yet user-friendly totally secure e-commerce module which will streamline your on-line purchases from our virtual gallery. For now youll have to call us and process sales manually. So browse around, send us your responses and suggestions and above all have a good time.
