Post your art.  Maybe you draw, paint, weld things, woodworking, etc.  

I did this 1930s gangster today in acrylic abstract.

I don't do visual arts, but how about listening arts? I've been playing around with musical instruments since I was about 10. I've yet to master one. However I do like to mix it up, trying many types of instruments. Sometimes, especially in the winter when we experience long cold nights, I'll sit in front of my Mac computer and record something. This came out of me last week. I perform all parts except the drums.  It's good clean fun. My number 2 hobby after my old Mopars.

I picked up these old tools at the pawn shop.  5 to 10 cents each.  Had this idea for years and finally did it.  Made a wind chime out of old tools.

Pretty windy by you then.

I painted these from scratch, and did the grip tape to match.

Wow! Nice work!?

I haven't picked up a pencil to do a decent piece in years. I like doing it, but life has kind of gotten in the way. At this point these are all 20+ years old......

 

My grandfather on my father's side plowing ground with a John Deere 730 done in charcoal. The original photograph was on the front page of a newspaper back in New Jersey where the original Hoffman family farm is. Now known as Christie Hoffman Farm Park if anyone is in that general area.

This is my grandfather on my mother's side chopping hay silage with his David Brown done in black and white colored pencil. The original photograph appeared on the cover of the Ohio Farmer magazine.

This was just a fun little piece I did with some colored pencil trying to forecast the future of what I wanted in a hot rod while I was still in high school. I drove my art teacher nuts when I started this piece - I knew what I wanted and there was so much black to put on before I could really start working in details. Once it started coming together he understood what I was going for. lol

Your drawings are fantastic.  I'm stunned at how good they are.  You should pick up a pencil again; it's never too late.  I waited 30 years to pick up a brush for an oil painting. Glad I got going again even though I don't find it easy.

Thank you. I do pick up a pencil here and there and doodle.... but I just haven't been able to get in the right state of mind to do anything like this. I have a piece I would like to do, but I definitely need to get in that zone to do it. I have a fantastic photograph of my father on a John Deere 530 on the family farm back in New Jersey when he was in his 20s. It would certainly fill a gap in my "set" of farming men in my family that I seem to have unwittingly started.

I hope to see it posted here soon!

Funny how certain talents manifest.  My middle brother is quite artistic.  I am about as artistic as a brick.  I did play the trumpet for about 10 years and while I was technically proficient Sachmo was never in any danger.

Yeah, my twin brother is quite the artist and musician.  He still draws on a regular basis, and he still has his trumpet from HS that he can still crank tunes out on.  He tried out for the US Army band out of HS and had made the cut, but they told him he had to enlist for something else first because there weren't any positions open at the time.  He joined the MPs and decided he liked that better.  I used to be a pretty good pencil artist, but can't prove it, and haven't done any of that for many, many years.  Getting a bit of inspiration herein to take it up again, especially during these long winters up here.
