As we enter the 4th year of our online art gallery, we set a record.

Plus, of course, pieces depicting our home town.

Thanks to every artist who helped us set this new mark. The numbers are high; the quality, as high as ever.

Online Art Gallery #154

Posted on March 25, 2023 | 3 comments

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of our online art gallery.

“06880” began this feature in the first days of the pandemic. The world shut down — but this was a chance for readers to share their work with others.

Some submissions were dark. Others were hopeful. Artists used a variety of mediums. It was a creative idea in a desperate time.

It worked. Eventually, the terror receded. But the artwork kept coming.

As long as you keep it coming, we’ll continue sharing — every Saturday. (We missed a couple along the way — that’s why this is only Online Art Gallery #154).

We celebrate year #3 with not one but two works titled “Spring Has Sprung.” I can’t imagine a better, more hopeful way to move on.

Meanwhile, as we’ve said since March of 2020: This is your feature. Everyone is invited to contribute. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions.

“Spring Has Sprung!” (Amy Schneider)

“Implications of Flowers” (Tom Doran)

Watercolor artist Eric Bosch writes: “I just completed these for the Westport neighborhood guys I grew up with (Staples High School Classes of 1972 & ’73).
This is of our 1970’s basketball team, The Klunkers. We proved ourselves competitive in the Westport Rec & Beach leagues. We play some nice golf and tennis now, but our days of driving to the hoop are behind us.”

“Looking at the World From the Side Door” (Peter Barlow)

“Peace” — child in a Panamanian rainforest (Mike Hibbard)

“Daydreaming” (Lawrence Weisman)

“A Colorful Lady in Waiting” (Steve Stein)

“Naraja” — acrylic abstract (Patricia McMahon)

“Spring Has Sprung” (Dorothy Robertshaw)

A couple of colorful abstracts, a collection of work by 1962 Staples High School graduate (and online art gallery newcomer ) Holly Miller Watts, and regular contributor Steve Stein’s 11-year-old granddaughter’s water color highlight this week’s submissions.

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

“Heron” (Ellin Spadone)

Collected works of Holly Miller Watts (Staples High School Class of 1962)

Steve Stein’s 11-year-old granddaughter Esther Lichtman painted this water color after a recent visit to Westport. She calls it “Over the River and Through the Woods — Off to Grandma in Westport We Go” — even though, as Steve notes, “there are no mountains and no truly pristine river views here. She either has a great imagination, or is wishful thinking!”

“Espuma de Mar (Sea Foam)” — acrylic abstract (Patricia McMahon)

“On the Fence” — Peter Barlow explains, “This photo anticipates spring, which we may get after the April blizzards.”

Untitled (Tom Doran)

“I’d Like to be Under the Sea” (Amy Schneider)

“OMG” (Lawrence Weisman)

Untitled (Mona Brown)

“Pieter Claesz’s Dinner at the Katzes/” Artist Norm Siegel based this on “the famous Dutch 17th century still life food artist– updated with all the foods I loved that now give me heartburnand acid reflux.”

“A Little Snow” (Karen Weingarten)

Artist Lawrence Weisman calls this “Character of Westport,” then adds, “or one of them at least.”

Untitled (Mona Brown)

“The Tennis Players: Igor Stravinsky and His Taller Friend” — acrylics (Peter Barlow)

“Whelk” (Amy Schneider)

“A Very Little House on the Prairie” (Steve Stein)

Photographer Rindy Higgins describes this monotone: “I was impressed with the gray on gray on gray, illustrating that the Saugatuck River is the same as the Sound is the same as the sky: the oneness of all.”
