Online Art Gallery #170

Welcome to our 170th online art gallery.

We opened in the early days of the pandemic, as an opportunity for “06880” artists hunkered down at home to share their work with the world.

More than 3 years later — now back to near normal — we’ve done what all artists do: We’ve grown and evolved.

But one thing has not changed. We still need your submissions.

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.)

“Beautiful Boarge.” Photographer Mike Hibbard says: Pluck the blue flower and float it, face up, on white wine. Sip and refill very carefully. A transformation (of the flower) occurs in about 30 minutes.”
