I am looking forward to seeing the paintings, sketches, photos, drawings and other artistic items that simmers have created or taken with a camera ! They don't need to be sims related. Please post them here and share them so we can all enjoy seeing them. :) Edit : I have edited this thread to invite simmers to post photos that you have taken too. I will look forward to seeing photos that you have taken with your camera. :)

I haven't painted for a few years now. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. And I guess I just dabble for the fun of it. I tend to let my creative energies go in whichever direction they choose and right now they are working with driftwood finds. I've made a lamp and am working on a desk. But I really did enjoy acrylics when I used them, and every once in a while they call. These are ones I did several years ago.

I didn't realize the full implications of what Stop meant to me until months later. I'm not the greatest at it, but even when I decided to get in to it, it wasn't for anything but myself and expression. I was very much in to detailed sketching and ink art in my youth, but I can't do that now. And I think I see things more abstract anyways.

Your Tree of Life and Stop paintings are very meaningful and great @fullpsiral . They are very expressive. The traffic lights in your Stop painting set against the background of the city buildings eloquently speaks to us of the need to take time to stop and rest. Thankyou very much for sharing your paintings with us :)

Well thanks @rosemow. :D I tend to be all over the place with my creativity. Painting is just one of my outlets. I really should do it more. I have so many blank canvases waiting.

Well here's a few things of mine which aren't sim related. Haven't had time to make anything sim related, but I might do soon! Also can't wait to see what other people post here.Sweet abstract stuff @fullspiral :) very fresh. B) Hope my Aquaman doesn't look too scary. ;) http://i.imgur.com/jrv1taP.pngSnowy landscape.http://i.imgur.com/jzJ29x4.pngAnother landscape.http://i.imgur.com/w4srT8X.png

Ahaha, no they do look like Acrylics. They're digital paintings which I paint in Photoshop, I use custom brushes which have some resemblance to traditional brushes that give some nice texture when you're painting. :)

Well that's pretty cool. I'm pretty much computer illiterate when it comes to that.

Your pictures look great! @LaAbby :) The eye picture is very nice. It looks very nice how you have drawn the branches on the tree picture. The lemonade drink picture looks great with the lemon on the side of the glass.
