simple but elegant art sites are some of the best (Score 1)

I tend to like artistic sites that not only showcase art, but also are artistic themselves. Such sites don't have to be massive multimedia flashing glitziod presentations. Sometimes a simple and elegant theme is the best.

Another plus in my book is an art site where the artist talks about their art. A few comments from the artist can give you perspective on their creation. As an example, check out this art site I came across recently by Monica Noll. Some of the most artistic parts of that site are her explinations of her drawings.
