[Aquanet] New site

[Mary Doane]

Hi Judy,

Thanks so much for the feedback !

I did play around with different formats for the images.  The main  
reason I went with the smaller thumbnails as an intro to the paintings  
was a page-layout thing.  As my paintings are all different sizes and  
proportions, it was difficult to find the layout I was looking for.   
The little squares made that easier !

Mary
