As September ends, our art gallery begins to fill with fall works.

We welcome those seasonal themes — and everything else.

We also welcome all kinds of art. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, 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.)

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

“Pumpkin” (Karen Weingarten)

“The Rake’s Progress” (Peter Barlow)

“Head Outdoors” — northwestern Connecticut (Peter Birch)

“Five Mile River, Rowayton/Darien” (Kathleen Burke)

“Coral Head Sculpture.” Artist Dorothy Robertshaw explains: “Thanks to Nancy Breakstone’s generosity and sharing her coral and shell collection, I created Jimmy Durante, Mr. Potato Head, Harry… and I think he looks like Bert from Sesame Street. His frame is a refurbished broken clock.”

“Aerin’s Thermal” — Steve Stein says: “This was done by our 12-year-old grand child. Thermal art is done on a thermoluminescent screen, It is evanescent, and has to be done quickly before it fades away forever (unless granddad takes a screen shot!).”

“Waiting #3” (Lawrence Weisman)

Photographer Mike Hibbard’s caption: “Okay, they’re watching the elephants. You grab the lunch bags, and I’ll meet you in the trees.”

Not one but two of today’s submissions were inspired by Martha’s Vineyard.

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