Local Spotlight: iPad Paintings by Corliss Blakely


Corliss Blakely, a life-long Vermont artist, is now painting on the iPhone and iPad, which has “opened up a new world for artists,” as she puts it. Corliss has translated her realistic style in oils to the new technologies, stating, “the world is changing and artists now have a wonderful new canvas to create on.” Corliss purchased an iPad at Small Dog the day they came out, and was the first artist in the world to display an iPad painting on the internet!

The iPad is a mobile studio: artists can now create without the toxic paints and mediums they have used for centuries.

Her favorite painting app on the iPad is ArtStudio.
