I like to paint sometimes, and I thought I might as well combine that with making money out of it, occasionally, if anyone showed the interest. So I'm looking for your decent brandable one-word or two-word portraiture / painting / artist domains. Budget up to say £1k. I know they won't make anything parked due to the typically extremely low value of the niche, but traffic is always a bonus if you have it.

Here's my most recent portrait in a classical style (based on a 17th c painting called Don Justino de Neve), which I did for a friend's 40th birthday last week:

That portrait looks a bit like the style of Holbein, makes a nice change from all the modern painting of things like a blue square painted on a plain red background.

I have this one, please PM if it's of interest:

painting.org.uk
 
Really nice work! I could imagine you doing really well out of that have you considered promoting the service? My Dad was a full time artist for years, selling prints of his work and originals...

To reply to killaclown above and some of the PMs so far, I'm not ready for commissions just yet as there are a couple of things I'm trying to finish. But to anyone who wants something done, let me know what you have in mind and I'll see if I can fit you in when I become available. I put a lot of work into each piece so I'll be charging from £1500 upwards. Bigger doesn't necessarily equal more expensive though, depends on the overall difficulty. Thanks!

P.S. To Killaklown - you know they're making a sequel to that movie? :)
 
Superb work and damn right you should be showing off your work too ! Maybe Not quite what you are looking for James but I have Canvases.co.uk in the £x,xxx region but would do a possible swap too - PM me if any interest (will have a another look tomorrow when I am online too, to see if I have any others too)
 
Very interesting! I'm unaccustomed to seeing an artist painting portraits in the old style.

Actually, I'm surprised how many art-themed domains my query turned up. Most don't fit -- ArtHistory.org, JapaneseWoodCuts.com, IslamicArtMuseum.com, SculptureContests.com, ChineseFolkArt.org, etc.

But these might:

PaintingShowcase.com

ArtAntiques.net

BeauxArts.co.uk
(French for "Fine Art" seems like a good brand name for something somewhere.)

While I'm at it, I hope nobody minds me mentioning this other domain:

ArtCambridge.com

I can sell that one very cheaply. (I was thinking of Cambridge, Massachusetts, as much as of your university.)
 
Beautiful artwork ;) I have the domain name galleryroom.co.uk available for £400. You could even purchase the .com for an extra $1,552 (I don't own the .com).
