Hi Mike,
The layout of the site is nice... simple and organized. However,
I would consider rewritting some of body text. For example:
-Home-
\"This website is dedicated to the viewing and selling of original artwork created by Mike Fairfield.\" Ouch grammatically incorrect... make it simple \"Origional Artwork by Mike Fairfield\" or \"Creative Works by Mike Fairfield\"
-the Artist- (I\'m just going to revise here)
Mike likes to challenge himself. He prefers to work with pencil crayon (pencil? crayon? conte crayon? charcoal? what is a pencil crayon?) he has also chosen to paint,He is also well versed with the paint brush and produces works in oil and acrylic paint on canvas. (Just assuming on the media) \"Why do I paint?.....Well, I paint for the simple satisfaction of others. (ouch.. you contradict this statement in the next paragraph please leave it out..you don\'t paint simply to please others do you?) Painting, for me, has never been a hobby. It is not relaxing. It is a labor, but it is what I do. It is what I have to do . . . a labor of love. ...I think painting frustrates me more......but in the end I get a greater gain a deeper appreciation for the art when I complete a piece.\"
All of Mike\'s work is original; you will not find two pieces that are alikeof art the same. Mike creates for himself as well as for othershis artwork not onlyfor others, but for himself. \"...I love color, and I enjoy seeing the vibrant colors blending blend into one another to create something, or nothing. I love that I can create art, and I my not personally care for how it turned out(if you don\'t care.. why should your customers care?), but that piece might speak to someone else. That\'s the beauty of art.\" (maybe this instead of that last 2 sentatnces: \"I love that I can create work that may has personal meaning but can be interperted by others in a way that relates to their experiance.
Mike\'s work is a combination of contemporary art, abstract art and realism, making it unique, beautiful. It will leave you wanting to see more.
Mike also creates art in his photography. He has been an avid photographer since he could hold a camera. \"I\'ve been interested in the camera, and the developing development of film since I was a kid. I remember been being in the household dark room with my mother, watching her develop black and white photographs.\"
Mike\'s passion for photography has evolved with time, from film to strictly digital. \"I love to photograph ordinary, everyday objects, but shoot them in under different light conditions, or unique angles. The advantage of digital is that it gives me that developed picture instantly the instant feedback. that way I can decided right there, whether or not it\'s a good photo, or I need to change a variable, and re-shoot.\"
Hope this helps a little.. Good luck:o)
