Any Artists that frequent these forums?

I've always been of the opinion it takes a creative mind to successfully enjoy collecting coins. With that stated, I do realize talent may or may not be incorporated within that same mind.
Anyone here expresses these talents in a way that others may enjoy too?

On a side note: Are there artists that draw or paint coins or landscapes? Not actually ON the coin, yet instead renderings of numismatic items or nature and such?
If so, I'd love to see examples as I find looking at this segment of art mildly relaxing and soothing.

I airbrush, it is calming, creative and relaxing for me.

Working artist all my life

I love the photograph of your work on location.

abcde12345 · May 13, 2019 3:37PM

I need to point out the photo above is NOT my work! Simply one I came across and wanted to share as an example of what I am looking for.
That Franklin piece is fine! The total presentation is impressive as well.

EOCs, anything you wouldn't mind sharing?

My above website has my work mostly with a 4x5 sheet film camera over the last 40 years.

Unfortunately or fortunately I now spend 95% of my time, energy, and funds on my error coin business.

Here are two new ones (digital) from this year .....

I mostly draw/sketch. Paint when I'm feeling chippery

Once I started minting, I spent my time making small sculptures.
Before that, I did various styles of drawing and painting.
Here are two examples:

Thanks. I painted it for a high-tech company in Boulder in 1984. That company is long gone now. I wish I knew what became of the painting.

@Aspie_Rocco I like how you did the sunset (or sunrise).

My artistry was restricted to efforts in long, boring meetings - usually a sketch of another member....The few I did were well received and I was often requested to do one of other associates.... I could not do it on demand... had to be the right mood and environment...Cheers, RickO

Your iPhone 4 is retina (based on the shadow effect of each icon) so the music app wouldn't have been the iPod app. Also, it would have been run on the AT&T network like 3G and not the E (Edge) network.
Otherwise, cool!

That was an iPhone 1. The corners and edges are rounded.
