Hearts on rocks, a heart on a deer statue — and a piece called “Sweethearts” — are this week’s artistic nods to Valentine’s Day.
The other works showcase the usual broad range of our weekly online art gallery.

Untitled. Artist B. Tlush’s work can be seen in the Westport River Gallery at the Riverside Avenue/Post Road West corner (as seen above). Look closely at this acrylic on board: the windows include paintings of the Westport Country Playhouse, Levitt Pavilion, Pecks Ledge Lighthouse and Cedar Point Yacht Club.
Needlepoint by Lucy Johnson.

“Brown Barred Owl Out on the Stump!” Artist Steve Stein says: “Hoo knew the 3 rules for owl/raptor encounters: Keep your distance. Don’t try to feed an owl, ever. They can attack if threatened.”

“What’s Cookin'” (Lawrence Weisman)
