Hello? Online Storefront Open for Business!

I’m looking for paintings, and although I didn’t particularly plan to commission one, I stumbled upon commissionapainting.com in a search.  In principle, and in the abstract, it’s intriguing: find an artist you like and commission a new work.  Even supposing I were sold on the idea of commissioning a new painting, I’m underwhelmed by this site.

First, the banner atop the site advertises it as commission.a.painting.com which is a completely different site.  It’s a site that doesn’t exist.  And it would, if it were actually valid, be a subdomain of painting.com, which Sherwin-Williams owns.  So this site doesn’t even know its own web address.

Second, upon hitting the Search page, I scanned the list of countries showing how many artists are listed in each:

Worldwide
Canada (0)
USA (0)
Australia (0)
United Kingdom (0)
New Zealand (0)

In the immortal words of Tom Hanks in Big, “I don’t get it.”
