Happy Memorial Day weekend!
This week’s online art gallery includes boats, beaches, Greta Thunberg and Uvalde, Texas. We end with something red, white and blue.
But it’s not a flag.
That’s the fun — and serendipity — of this feature.
As always, we appreciate everyone’s submissions — whatever the subject. All readers are encouraged to participate, whatever your age, level of experience (professional or amateur, young or old).
All genres are encouraged. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage and (yes) needlepoint — whatever you’ve got, email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Share your work with the world!
