Nathan Jensen is an oil painter creating original fine art oil paintings in Austin, Texas (TX). The oil paintings on these 'Available Artwork' artist web pages can be purchased at Nathan Jensen Studio (1732 Anderson Lane)

I encourage you to visit my Second Life Virtual Reality Gallery I've created a space based on the Parthenon. My oil paintings are taking on new forms in this virtual reality experience. I can do things I only dreamed of doing with my artwork in real life. Here, paintings can blow in the wind. They can have transparency and defy gravity. Best of all, the viewer can move and have an effect on the artwork in Second Life. See: Second Life Natespace for details.

My artwork has often been about how a viewer physically interacts with the object or painting - on the wall. To fully appreciate and understand the artwork the viewer must walk around, lean over, stand on tip toe.... That is hard to represent in the flat medium of the world wide web. Therefore, I've started the process of video taping the paintings and posting them on my YouTube page.
Links are provided on each of the paintings that have video
or you can click to my YouTube video main page here:NatespaceMovies on YouTube.

And I've been a luddite long enough. I'm developing my MySpace page. I don't have alot of time to maintain it, but I am intriqued by the comment feed feature. You see, I've been working on creating text descriptions for each of the oil paintings I have available. I'm using this text in my 'alt text' for the images in this section with an interest in making the work available in a way to the vision impaired www user.
I find I am not a writer and therefore I am inviting web visitors and new MySpace friends to create their own descriptions for the oil paintings. It will be interesting to find/share what others see and how it is translated into written language.
