Linked to the A&E television show of the same name, "The Impressionist" site features information and a really fun interactive element that allows you to paint your own impressionist picture. The artists featured in the biography section are Degas, Pissarro, Monet, Renior, Morisot, Bazille, Cassatt, Manet and Sisley. A Classroom section lets you explore the techniques of some of the painters - such as their use of color and their brushwork - but Flash is required to view this feature and the paint-your-own section. Worth a visit if you love art. http://www.biography.com/impressionists

Artist Eric Heller has taken the mathematics of electron flows, quantum resonances and other physical phenomena and visualized it in digital fine art. One of our favorites is "Transport II" which features electron flow patterns riding over a bumpy landscape. Another, "Analyzed Collision" makes collisions between polyatomic and diatomic molecules (with acceleration vectors included) into what appears to be weaved colored hemp ropes lifting into the fog. The images are also for sale at this site. World Wide Web: http://ericjhellergallery.com

Chris Foss is in the pantheon of sci-fi Illustrators along with Moebius, and Syd Mead. A background in military illustration has honed his skills in depicting spacecraft and aircraft in fantastic vistas. Foss was a member of the art crew on the movie "Dune" among many other projects. You will probably recognize his work. World Wide Web: http://www.altanen.dk/Gallery-Main.htm
