Online art gallery revised

by Al R. Young

The art gallery area of the Al Young Studios web site now takes visitors directly to images available in the collection.

For many years, artworks have been presented by artist, by subject category, or by media. These categories can still be used to sort the collection, but site visitors now go first to the images and then to the forms in which an image is available. A detail page for each image presents the original and the prints in which each image can be purchased.

The online Product Catalog remains unchanged.

The collection currently consists of 152 images created originally as 65 oil paintings, 75 lithographs, 10 computer-generated illustrations (CGIs), and 2 block prints. In addition to the media in which the images were created (which might loosely be termed the "originals"), the Al Young Studios currently offers 101 open-edition print versions of selected images.

For more information, please contact Al R. Young at Al Young Studios.
