The Internet is awash with art for sale, but this site, which just joined the One Million Points Of Light Project , is an interesting and elegant one.

Earth Paintings is a site by artist and architect Eugen Meier who lives and works in Switzerland and France. It allows visitors to select one of a number of hand painted images of the earth. As a purchaser you can leave an image of your own on the site along with a short text or dedication. Not only does Earth Paintings gently raise awareness about our environmental impact, it also offers some unique art at affordable prices.

The site uses a sliding discount systems which means that if you buy early you pay less. Once news about the site spreads, and more paintings are sold, the price increases. We would like to welcome Eugen Meier’s project to One Million Points Of Light - he has illuminated several blocks on the homepage - and wish him luck with future sales.

With Christmas on the way Earth Paintings may be an ideal way to support this online art project and give someone an original painting.
