The innovative SmartCAT Search Engine helps you to personalize each of your
artwork searches on PaintingsDIRECT.com. It allows you to search through our large
database of images of original art in an easy and extremely efficient manner.
With the Smart Category Search Engine, or SmartCAT, finding the
perfect artwork is easier then ever. SmartCAT helps you to refine the
search for the ideal piece for your home or office by organizing the results of your
search in Customized Categories based on your individual criteria. Each
search can be categorized by artwork subject, key
subject word, color, style, technique, medium, size, price...
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Click on the "FIND ARTWORK" button on the upper-left hand side of this page.
Choose the "SEARCH FOR" criteria for the artwork you are seeking (we
suggest selecting no more than 2 or 3) and hit "SUBMIT SEARCH" at the bottom
of the page.
For example, if you SEARCH FOR "Cityscapes" under Subject, SmartCAT will
automatically customize your categories by "Style". Each "Style" category
is illustrated by one randomly-selected image.

Or you can start browsing through our extensive collection right now!
HOW DO I REFINE MY SEARCH?
You can proceed in 1 of 3 ways:
1. "Drill down" into one of the Style categories, further refining the
search with additional categories such as color, price, size, technique, or
subject.
2. Reorganize the results of the search. For example, if you are interested
in Cityscapes by Russian artists, or Cityscapes under $500, one click of the
mouse will recategorize the Cityscapes by "Country of Origin", or
"Price", so you can quickly find exactly what you want.
3. View a sequential listing of all Cityscape artworks.
You can continue to repeat these steps, narrowing and reorganizing your
search.
Along the way, as you discover paintings you like, place them in
"MyGallery," another feature on PaintingsDIRECT.com which allows you to place artworks in a customized gallery where you can add comments and come back to review your favorites at any time.
