As I've said before, part of the joy of my work is getting to work with talented artists. This web site was recently completed for Edward Rice, C.F.X. who is an artist as well as a religious brother. When he first called me about doing a web site for him we were talking about what URL would be appropriate for his site. He told me he was thinking about edwardricecfx.com. “'C'”, he said, “like in 'cat' and 'fx'...” he paused. “Like in 'Francis Xavier',” I asked. Hey, I was a Catholic school kid, too.
And so began our working together. Brother Ed's work is beautiful in soft, dreamy colors. He paints florals and stilllifes but I especially love his garden scenes. It took us awhile to hit on the right background to best compliment his work but finally we selected a soft, slightly gray-ish green --- a color that seems to be present in many of his paintings.
Brother Ed is a quiet, soft-spoken man who preferred a simple, clean layout for his pages and galleries. His home page features a small slide show representing the various subject matter he prefers. Inside he chose to have a bio page, a list of galleries where his work can be viewed and purchased, a page to announce upcoming events and contact info. And, of course, the gallery pages of his beautiful work.
So I hope you'll take the time to visit his site and enjoy his paintings, they are lovely. It was a pleasure working with this talented artist and I look forward to expanding his galleries as he sends me more pictures to add. Thank you, Brother Ed.
Thanks for reading.
