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

And although our gallery is seldom “political,” it includes another work, by Duane Cohen, that seems particularly relevant today.

They’re 2 more examples of the wide, eclectic, interesting and inspiring nature of this series. It began in the early days of COVID, and — due to popular demand, and always welcome weekly submissions — it has continued every Saturday since.

No matter how young (or old) you are; what style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. 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.

John Fernie drew these New Yorkers arriving at Compo Beach for a vacation in the late 1950s, for what his son Bruce — who sent it to us — calls “a long-forgotten magazine.” The original hangs in Bruce’s home, reminding him of “those great childhood beach days on the Sound.”
