I’m fascinated with the art being produced with the iPhone and the wonderful Brushes app. Today’s example – produced with Brushes and a Pogo stylus no less! – once again comes via a new Twitter connection, and more importantly from an artist called Corliss Blakely, who is known as Artistinvermont on Twitter.
I’m not sure if Corliss has other examples of work with Brushes, but I did get a chance to browse her website a little – and admire her oil paintings, mostly still life and lovely, wintry Vermont scenes.
Here is a slice of her Bio from the site:
Established artist and seventh generation Vermonter, Corliss Blakely paints still-life and Vermont landscape in a classically realistic style. She received her formal art training in Boston. While there she studied at Vesper George Art School and The Museum School Of Fine Art.
The homes, farms and antiques of her ancestors in northern Vermont often are portrayed in her paintings. Corliss is nationally recognized for her work, which hangs around the world.
The Brushes work shown in the screencap at the top of this post was posted in a twitpic, so if you’re a fan of iPhone art, follow Corliss Blakely as Artistinvermont on Twitter. Oh, and definitely give her website a look to see lots more of her work done (shockingly) without the benefit of an iPhone – HERE.

This may be the new "Public Television" of art. Just as PBS showcased the Pavarottis to millions of new opera fans, iPhone Art and other web 2.0 sites can bring the work of artists like Corliss to people around the world who would have no other opportunity to see her work in person.
Hmmm – I have mainly thought of the iPhone and the Brushes app as new tools for creating art, not so much as the medium for sharing it – I suppose it is a bit of both.
