Duane Cohen leads off today, with an untitled — but very familiar — scene.

Well, it will be familiar to anyone who lived here in the 1950s and early ’60s, anyway.

It’s followed by 2 even more recognizable scenes. Then we’ve got our usual very eclectic mix of subjects and styles.

All are — as always — welcome. No matter your age; the style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we want your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, mixed media, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
