Every Westport artist knows Jay Cimbak.

He’s the go-to framer at Rockwell Art & Framing (and, for decades before that, at Max’s Art Supplies).

He’s also an avid collector of Coleman lanterns, railroad and other lanterns, and oil lamps.

Who knew?

Today, he shares his passion with our online gallery-goers. Scroll down, for a fuller explanation from Jay of his submission.

That’s the beauty of this feature. No matter what you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

A solar eclipse takes place Monday. Our “06880” artists are ready.

Two submissions explore the rare event, from (of course) different artistic lenses. We’ve got some spring-themed works too, and the usual array of intriguing, exciting works in a variety of styles.

Email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.

Untitled – Dorothy Robertshaw says, “This is cyanotype sun printing art, just in time for the eclipse. You put it between glass you out in the sun, almost like a dark room versus light room. Then you bring it in. You wash it with cold water, then hang dry. This one is paper.”

“The Line of Totality” — acrylic on board (Brian Whelan)

“The Butterfly Effect” — digital illustration (Ken Runkel)

Untitled (Tom Doran)

Untitled (Roseann Spengler)

“Cherry Blossoms Along the Potomac” (Wendy Levy)

“Dancers Stretching” (Steve Stein)

“Some Days You Just Can’t Get Out of Bed” (Lawrence Weisman)

Online Art Gallery #200

Posted on February 10, 2024 | Comments Off

Our online art gallery began nearly 4 years ago.

It was the early days of the pandemic. “06880” wanted to give stuck-at-home artists, photographers, sculptors, knitters — and all other visual arts creators — an opportunity to show off their work.

The first pieces were COVID-related. Soon, our gallery moved on to a galaxy of other themes.

All along, it’s been a place for all “06880” readers.

As we move on to our next milestone, we continue to welcome your work. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.

Email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.

“Spring Dream” — digital interpretation of photograph (Ken Runkel)

“Wild Sunset” — acrylic pour on canvas (Amy Schneider)

“After the Rain” (Ellen Wentworth)

“Sumo Citrus Sunrise” (Jerry Kuyper)

Untitled (Tom Doran)

“Two Historic Vessels: Amazon and Amistad” (Peter Barlow)

“Lips and Toes for Dinner” (Mike Hibbard)
