I don’t know but when there is a large pack of them nearby, it is a bit scary. My dogs hide so I do too. 
But I do enjoy listening to them.

That is truly beautiful! I envy anyone who can actually see the stars, let alone capture them on film/digital. When I look at the full moon I see a circle of ten moons, one for each separate layer of my eyes lenses.The stars have mostly disappeared. Sad.
When the Covid is gone I may still be able to get my eyes fixed, but for now it is making parts of my life pretty interesting --and filing my gratitude bucket!
Thank you for posting that beautiful reminder that they are still up there!

I’m really enjoying this woman’s videos. I loved this piece particularly:
The Master's Mistakes - YouTube
If you watch that to the end you’ll find a quote from Andrew Wyeth that was, to me, a very inspiring and memorable one.
I have taken a complete break from painting for two weeks for the holiday (Happy New Year, Everyone!) with the exception of my bedtime mark-making using a variety of pigment India ink brush markers, I’m ready to go back to painting again after a bit of tidying up in the Studio.
May your new year and all future years be filled with the joy of creativity in whatever form you enjoy the most!

I did a double take when she showed the painting of the Russian gentlemen, one holding their national flag. lol
I went: “Wait! That’s the Italian flag.”
There are no proper art museums near me, so I appreciate her vids.

Somehow I missed this movie. I assume it is only on Amazon Prime right now.
The artists’ works are a bit bizarre for his era but also a lot of fun

So why didn’t one of us think of this?

That is cool!
About ten years or so ago, Mal created a virtual gallery for his collection of simulated glass art sculptures that he had created in Bryce 3D. You could walk around in it from sculpture to sculpture.
I keep hoping that someday he will have tome to recreate the idea so that I could put my own art in it and put that on a website so that people could have a chill experience perusing my works.
He is pretty busy with his own projects right now though, so who knows? It may be years before I even feel it would “be a good time” to approach him about it again.
I like some of the abstract pieces in the CaptHarpo twitter pic. Looks really cool! i

I don’t know when I’ll have some art of my own to share, virtually. I still pass by my own little art studio every day, and cringe, and say, “Mmm… maybe tomorrow.” 
Ugh, I feel like a failure, and the same with music. But right now, I’m caught up in writing still, so as TravelEcho said, do what makes me happy. So I shalt, and it’s a lot of fun spending time with my virtual friends. Before I put them through virtual hell, mwahaha. I laugh my mean creative laugh. 
It’s possible I might do something completely different like a landscape, or possibly an aircraft painting on the to do list, but I fully intend to subject those wonderful art supplies to my whimmmy wills. Someday. Hopefully not too many days hence.

An interesting additional bit about Louis Wain and schizophrenia:
EDIT: And here is a much gentler discussion of his life and art.
I have to add the caveat here that the style of his works does very little for me. But his persistence and passion in the face of tragedy I find very moving.
