An alabaster piece by new-to-“06880” artist Alan Goldberg — celebrating the release of Israeli hostages — leads this week’s online art gallery.

Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, mixed media, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

Please email a JPG to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.
