This megathread has proven what NeuM said! So many of you all are so talented and creative. And now we'll have a structured manner of keeping up with our non-musical visual arts creations!
I can't wait to see and hear the final results! 😃
Oh mate, lol. 😂 I probably could, but don't feel like doing all that work at the moment. Haha. If and once I do, it will be posted to Youtube.
Great! This is a good new addition for the site. 😎👍
Agreed. Music isn't the only way we express ourselves on this wonderful forum. ☺️
Thank you! They are stained glass and steel, by the way...
I just weighed the 3 I have in my studio with my son's fish scale, and they are 1-2 pounds. I would guess the largest one I have made might be between 3-4 pounds. Hadn't ever weighed them before! I should probably include that in their description!
Thank you! And they are so much cooler in motion.... The way they move is part of the design process....
Amazing! 🤩
Yes, those mobiles are exquisite @coloringpad. I like how you’ve incorporated the sky and certain clouds with them in the photos.
I agree! Obviously a Calder fan. I see you joined the forum back in 2015! Where have you been all these years?
Oh, you know, hibernating.
Really I am reading this forum daily. App sales at least twice a day. Since I haven't finished any music I consider worthy of my next album, I kinda stay quiet contribution wise. If I can help with an app, I do.
When I'm ready, you'll see my space station (which is insanity) and the music that I make as Flight Manual. Also, haven't had a collaboration since my old duo æther generator (because I moved to SW Florida, which is not exactly an electronic music haven), which was almost 10 years ago. I miss playing with others a lot.
Whew, that felt good! Not so invisible now. Thanks for asking.
Adding: Yes, Calder is my version of Michelangelo. Can't even fathom how much he changed the art world forever. I think of making mobiles more like I am using a different medium or palette than Calder: circles, stained glass, silver wire.
Georgia O'Keeffe once said:
"I decided to start anew-to strip away what I had been taught, to accept as true my own thinking. This was one of the best times of my life. There was no one around to look at what I was doing, no one interested, no one to say anything about it one way or another. I was alone and singularly free, working into my own, unknown-no one to satisfy but myself. I began with charcoal and paper and decided not to use any color until it was impossible to do what I wanted to do in black and white.I believe it was June before I needed blue."
Good advice for music as well.
So yeah, circles, stained glass, silver wire. Staying with that until I need a new color. I don't think I will. It's made me re-invent how a mobile moves, how it is shaped, and get excited about the new "impossible" balances I stumble upon.
Thank you. Photographing them is near impossible, since they move (duh) and they don't really pop against a plain background.
What I can't show you is that the light that shines through them is slowly moving in circles on the floor below. I dream of doing commissioned work, like a thousand small pink and white circles reminiscent of cherry blossoms in a Japanese hotel or restaurant. Or an undulating sea catching the light from a huge glass ceiling in an aquarium or airport. I can imagine the light below... I hope one day someone can visualize it too and asks me to fill their space with light and motion.
My favorite thing though is when a little kid sees it and says "Whoa!" and can't stop staring, just looking up with their neck at a 90⁰ angle. I love that. So maybe a Childrens Museum would be most gratifying.

Still experimenting with textures and colors in ArtRage app. Here’s a quickly made abstract using my finger. Started as horizontal lines of different colors across the paper, then used palette knife to mix the colors in swirls and blended the colors in an interesting ways using various other tools. After drawing, I did some color tweaking with another app.
That is extremely lovely. ❤️ Well done, mate!
Thanks, @jwmmakerofmusic. I sure have gotten a lot of joy from the ArtRage app you provided me. Thanks again!
You're absolutely welcome mate.
I'm so happy you're enjoying the app as much as I do.
By the way, stumbled on a free drawing app that has a GUI a that looks exactly like iPastels, called Art of Wired. Maybe worth a try… https://apps.apple.com/us/app/art-of-weird/id495494581
Nice find! 😃 I just checked, and it is indeed the dev of iPastels.
Oh cool, I didn’t realize they had other apps. Just checked out some more of them. Lots of varieties.
Plenty of varieties indeed.
Not sure if I'll collect them all, but I'll definitely try "Art of Weird" out soon! 
I spent some time on this abstract painting using an Apple Pencil, used 3 different art apps.
First I painted realistic twisted colored ribbons, using the 3d greasy oil brush in Art Set 4. Then I loaded the image in iColorama and applied some filters, Ray2, Splatter, EQ2. That gave it a cooler 3d look and spread out the paint splatters to the edges. Also used the Apple Pencil to warp the image around. Then I loaded that image into ArtStudio and tweaked the colors and exported it to a JPG image below.
😨 That's friggin incredible mate!
That's a really nice one, Dav.
Thanks you @jwmmakerofmusic and @NeuM.
I found another Bob Ross style painting at my dads house I painted years ago. it’s a small framed acrylic on canvas. Snapped a shot of it on my iPad. Took that image and played with it using a bunch of app filters to make a rather boring painting a little more interesting. Give it a weathered look and made only the cabin in focus. Don’t remember how old I was when painting this one.
Now I'm curious to see the unaltered photo of it. I will say, this piece looks good enough to be hung in a gallery. ☺️ At least I'd hang it in my home somewhere. I do love a good solid cabin painting.
Sure, here is the unaltered version…
Still looks good enough to me to hang on my wall. 😅 You should definitely hang that painting up on your wall if not already and be proud of it. And if you don't like it, well I'll fucking buy it off of you once the bank account is squared away. 😆
I have a painting I purchased from a priest who did painting on the side. It's also a cabin scene, and as I said, I'm a sucker for those kinds of paintings.
I also have quite a few lovely paintings from others hanging up in my apartment, including this Abstract "Electric Kitten" one my late mum purchased. When I moved after my parents passed, I took that painting with me as I didn't want to lose it. Not only still looks rather lovely, but also holds fond memories for me.
I used to play piano in the lobby of this one building in Downtown back in the early 2000s. One Friday when I played, the building held a local art exhibition. (It's what inspired me to learn Mussorgsky's "Promenade" from "Paintings at an Exhibition" on piano. Another story for another time perhaps.) Mum and I perused the various creative works of art, and that one stuck out to us. Not only do I share my mum's love of adorable cats, but also her love of extremely creative works of art that don't aim for Realism.
Indeed, I absolutely do love Classical Renaissance pieces of art that aim for Realism! However, trying to aim for Realism in Modern Art is a tad redundant in my honest opinion given we have photography (including every bloody smartphone in existance having a camera). This is why non-objectional Abstract art excites me the most! I can visualise my thoughts and emotions, and either explain that this is what that piece (those pieces) mean(s), or leave the interpretation up to the viewer.
Indeed that's another thing that fascinates me about Modern Art is how it doesn't embrace any "universal truths" and leaves itself open to others' subjective interpretations. What does it mean to you, the viewer? Know what I mean mate?

Which is why modern art has so much in common with music: the viewer is an integral part of their own experience. Which is also true of more classical art, but much more so with modern art, particularly abstract pieces.
I’m really enjoying this thread, some great art here.

Nice cat painting, @jwmmakerofmusic! Hey, thanks for the compliment on the cabin. @Kashi thats an awesome collage! Funny I played a gig at a fancy retirement community yesterday and they had a hallway of art pieces of collages sort of like that, yours looks more attractive than what they had displayed.
Here’s another coffee made in Art Set 4 and ArtStudio (old version). Used the Apple Pencil some, but also my finger. I think I like using finger better than the pencil on iPad for some reason, but pencil is needed for the smaller details. This coffee was called a Cortado, half espresso and half cream. Small cup, but really good drink.
