Your Paintings

You might not know about the "Your Paintings" initiative. The idea is to photograph and show onine all paintings owned by the nation - you. Brilliant. Two hundred thousand paintings and here's the first page of the Artists A to Z.

You need a BBC ID if you really want to use the collection properly. I logged in and began to make "My Collection" of paintings of the seaside in the local area. I was a bit rushed for time but came across some interesting stuff. My only problem was the speed of download of the images.

I did search for World War 2 and War Artists but these returned no results. I need to look at the site in less of a rush.
