To me categories are more important than age. And I like the idea above (James) about a long scroll, altho not too long. Each of my pages displays newer work at the top, with older work at the bottom. The newer work always loads first anyway, and each piece shows off various features of that type item (I’m a fiberartist, not a painter). Another eye-catcher – I like to use images of iconic paintings to model my work, so right up front is a strong image with lots of color.

In reply to Suzette Fram.

Absolutely! That’s exactly what I’m doing on newer posts, Suzette.

This is a particularly strong worry for me as I have painted in very many styles. All related but seemingly as if done by separate artists. Some are bright and colorful others in neutral monochrome, some bizaar Surealism, others Pop oriented, some Impressionist landscape, others traditional portraiture. I almost feel to leave the past behind when it can be so confusing to a new potential client….

I’d like to suggest calling them ‘Earlier Works’ rather than ‘Older Works’. Sounds so much better, don’t you think?

I composed my website as one continuous scroll, thus eliminating the chance of a visitor hitting the “wrong” page. As an artist/musician/writer, I think you have about .05 seconds to “hook” anyone who visits your website, so you’d better have an eye-catching, relevant image on each and every page! If someone becomes bored before they reach the end of my scroll-type site, they go elsewhere…I would.

This is a dilemma I face every year! My art work is still valid, beautiful, and I want to share it, but my webpages become cluttered with over 25 images on each. No one wants to see that many on each page, LOL.
My aunt recently asked why some of my work was missing, and what happened to it. Since her question a few weeks ago, I have been struggling to find a way to keep them in view but not directly on my website. Last night, I think I found an even better way of doing the same action you describe for pages at the networking meeting I attended last night.
Thank you for constantly providing great ideas and ART ACTIONS!
THANK YOU!

I personally think that so long the work still fits with your current style, or represents you positively, the date is irrelevant. Getting people to look at it is what matters.
A structure with ‘collections’ or ‘series’ works for me. A selection of my best pieces goes on my portfolio website which I send to galleries and collectors. Older work I still like but does not fit in with what I do at the moment (like old studies, traditional still lifes and landscapes), or new work I don’t feel the selection on my portfolio benefits from, I only put on my FB page: http://www.facebook.com/PaolaMinekovArt
