Not one but two of today’s submissions were inspired by Martha’s Vineyard.
Perhaps that’s not a surprise. The island off Cape Cod is a summer home for many Westporters.
Also no surprise: The breadth and depth of genres and styles in this week’s gallery.
Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.
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! (PS: Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.)

Happy hippo. Very nice. Reminds me of my appetite.
Hi Mike- indeed “a river of life runs through it!” The views of the retina, the optic nerve head and the ophthalmic vessels leading to it, indeed tell the story of so many of life’s maladies and give the physician access to the inner workings of both the eye and the whole body- in health and in illness. For identification purposes- “Retinas scans are about 70 times more accurate than iris scans and 20,000 times more accurate than fingerprint-based methods.”
