Abstract Art. Modern Art Paintings by Artist Mark Webster.Artists Online Art Gallery
Welcome to the original painting site for artist Mark Webster. There are original oil and acrylic paintings for sale or just viewing in the gallery. I have also added an art gallery section for ordering viewing prints for sale. Feel free to view my original painting blog with new paintings posted every day. I have made a few changes to the site to make it a bit more user friendly.

I got into painting after a number of years of drawing and/or inking for comic books. This was about 10-12 years ago. All of the comic books were independent and I don't think that any of them ever saw the light of day. After a while I had decided that comic book illustration wasn't working out for me and I had decided to go back into painting (which I hadn't done since college about 5 years earlier). I had studied a number of different artists' styles and ultimately started dabbling in cubism and futurism. I found that I wanted to paint like Umberto Boccioni sculpted. I particularly enjoyed the sculture "Unique Forms of Continutiy in Space". I've done a painting of it called "Ode to Boccioni". Over time I have fused these ideas as well as several other styles into my own style of painting which is not really cubism, and not exactly futurism, but these descriptions will do for the time being. Last year I had started a painting blog http://blog.websterwebart.com after completing "Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days", a project for a local art gallery. Since then I have joined the Daily Painters International Art Gallery http://dailypaintersinternationalartgallery.blogspot.com/, the Daily Painters Marketplace http://marketplace-daily-art.blogspot.com/, the Daily Painters Abstract http://dailypaintersabstract.blogspot.com/. Near the end of last year I was accepted into the best known of the daily painters galleries DailyPainters.com http://www.dailypainters.com.
