Week 11 of our online gallery features another wide variety of local Westport artwork.
Watercolors, charcoal, photos, videos, even furniture-making — it’s all here in our regular Saturday feature.
Each week, you show off your creativity and spirit; each week, we gain insights into your COVID-filled moods.
Keep sending your work. Professional, amateur, old, young — we want your paintings, collages, sketches, photos, sculptures, cartoons, whatever. Student submissions are particularly welcome!
The only rule: It must be inspired by, reflective of, or otherwise related to the times we’re going through. Email dwoog@optonline.net.
“Empty Beach” (Martin Howard)
“Staying Strong” (Elizabeth Devoll)
Staples High School art teacher Angela Simpson says, “As part of distance learning, I make demo videos for my students. For the one on how to make a multi-color registered silk screen print using an adhesive film media, I created a print of my beloved dog, Teddy. The print was a hit at home. Now I’ve been ‘commissioned’ by my son to create a version printed on a black hoodie.”
“Backwards and in Heels” (Lawrence Weisman)
Amy Saperstein made this table in her garage workshop. She says, “I must be honest. It is extremely flimsy, and likely to collapse at any moment! I found the white branch in my yard, and had the wood for the top in the garage.”
“The Beach is My Happy Place” (Amy Schneider)
“Not Venice Carnival” (Lisa Weinstein)
“Unconnected Now” (Karen Weingarten)
Susan Lloyd says, “This is Saint Dymphna, an Irish gal with a horrible backstory; patron saint of depression and anxiety. I am not Catholic; I just like saints and their histories, and of course shells.”
A video tribute, from Rob Feakins:

Roseann Spengler says, “Under house arrest like Cinderella, I have discovered new friends. Making them masks is more important than making them clothes.”

I really enjoy looking at these. They are all so beautiful!
Wow, just wow! Such talent & beauty! Hope this art collection continues PB or AV (if there ever is an after virus time) because of the creativity of you generous artists & photogs (seagull shot was unreal!) carpenters. Thank you Dan & All!
Thank you so much for sharing these, Dan. So many talented people in Westport and you are giving them a space to be seen.
St. Dymphna … looked up the story … never heard it before. Interesting for sure. Mary

Who knew there was a Saint Dymphna? I can relate to her “cause”. Stunning piece, without a lot of anxiety.
