Mobility aid for the impressionist painter

Impressionist paintings seem hard to paint because the artist has to move back and forth all the time to see what the painting looks like from afar. Stand too close and the painting looks like a messy patch of strokes. Take one step back and the pieces come together. A joystick-controlled, wheel-powered stunt for the artist to stand on when he draws and move him back and forth can spare extra walk and save energy. I don't know if such an aid exists but if it doesn't, why not?

Nude painting online auctions

Before you vote on my poll, consider this. This is hypothetical but imagine you really wanted a nude painting of yourself or your girlfriend. Instead of having 1 artist to paint, artists from all over the world could compete for the commission. Then you can choose the painting you like the best and the artists who lost the commission can put the paintings up for sale earning you extra commission fees which will pay up for the cost of the painting who won your heart. Who said there's no such thing in life as a free lunch?
