Two first-time artists — well, the first time they’re on “06880,” anyway — join our online art gallery this week.
They’ve picked a good time. With Hanukah underway, and Christmas just a day away, several works touch on the holiday theme, directly or indirectly.
As always, all year long: This is your feature. All readers are invited to contribute. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions.
All genres are encouraged. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage and (yes) needlepoint — whatever you’ve got, email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Share your work with the world!
