Here
you will find either the sites devoted to the artists,
their galleries or museums that display fine art. Some
of these sites depict the human body in relative states
of dress. As such, the warning should be made that not
all of these sites are appropriate for everyone. Still,
they hopefully cover the gambit of human creativity in
a visual medium. Feel free to suggest additions or voice
your coments to me via email
The links provided here are only a taste of what is available
on the internet. Many of the resource sites listed here
are far more diverse and comprehensive than you will find
here. And, as sometime happens, the nature of a given
site can change over time after it has been reviewed.
The nature of the creative process is ever in flux and
open to new avenues.
