This is a two-parter question...
First of all, I don't know the title, but I'm looking for a movie, about a failed hack artistic painter, who all of a sudden, finds respect, fame and fortune, when he starts using human blood on his paintings (something like 'A Bucket of Blood', but it's in color)...
Second, I'm looking for some websites that display macabre and gruesome horror artwork; I'm redecorating my living room, and I am looking for inspiration (if someone knows where those scary paintings are, which Rod Serling used to display, in his introductions to the old 'Night Gallery' episides, that would be most excellent)...
Thank You!!!

...actually, being a direct remake of "Bucket of Blood", the newer "Death Artist", once again had to do with sculpture, not painting; however, I'm pretty sure that "Color Me Blood Red" may just be the one I was looking for...

...you have to be either referring to the 90's remake of "A Bucket of Blood", which starred Anthony Michael Hall, and called "The Death Artist", or you just might be thinking of the '60's horror shocker, written, produced and directed by the Godfather of Gore himself, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and entitled "Color Me Blood Red"...
(edit)
...found your 'Night Gallery' paintings, too; I remember quite a few of these, myself, when I used to watch the show...

You are thinking of the Trilogy of Gore classic from Herschell Gordon Lewis, "Color Me Blood Red." It was the 3rd of the gore trilogy that he started with the movie "Blood Feast." The other film in the series was "2000 Maniacs" that was actually filmed on the property where Disney World stands today in St Cloud, Florida.
"Color Me Blood Red" was the tortured artist story where he had no sales until he started using real blood in his paintings. It opens up with blood (looking way too red) running down a canvas that was on fire with big title graphics that cover the whole screen. He even killed his girlfriend to get some blood for one of the "creations!"
Classic 60's drive in cinema and from the man that really started the whole craze of showing graphic depictions of violence on screen, everything before these films were done off screen and no violence was ever really shown.
He recently made a follow up to Blood Feast with Blood Feast 2, I still haven't had a chance to see that one but he always wanted to follow up his classic with something much more graphic and on a bigger scale than his first one.
Sorry I don't have links to those paintings that you asked about but I believe the previous answerer already covered that for you.
