The “A Painting A Day” movement originated within the United States, and emerged on a global scale in 2004 through the confluence of various cutting-edge cyber elements, including free public auction sites, blogs, video sites, pod casting, and message boards. The initial model has evolved into a global view of fine art painting, nurtured by the Internet's public domain status and free from the influence of traditional institutions. There exists a renewed sense of ethos among artists internationally. Artists that have been oppressed geographically and socially historically are now being liberated through their ability to both communicate with, and impact society on a global scale. Through the public domain of the Internet, artists are now working autonomously and managing the traditional practices of art education, curation and exhibition, marketing, criticism, and historical documentation. The Internet has democratized the manner in which these 20th century institutions are practiced.

The sources provided are for specific artists. There is no evidence that this is an art movement. This may be an internet phenomena, but the article would need to be completely rewritten as such and make no claims to being an art movement, which it is not. It should be noted that A Painting a Day was created and speedy deleted twice. The editor was banned for a username violation, created a new account, and created this article, with the quotes (which is inappropriate anyway). I nominated this for speedy deletion, but it was declined. I don't see how this is anything more than advertisements for the artists mentioned in the article. The claims in this article are completely unsupported. freshacconcispeaktome 17:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)I have nominated "A Painting a Day", an article you created, for deletion.
