Online Art Gallery #284

Monday is the first day of fall.

This week, we have not one but two submissions titled “Last Days of Summer.”

Great minds — and great artists — think alike.

At the same time of course, both are very different.

That’s the magic of our weekly online art gallery.

So 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.

Online Art Gallery #283

In the 5-plus years of curating this online art gallery, I don’t think we’ve ever featured a weaving.

This week, we’ve got 2.

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.”

We’ve made a tiny tweak to our online art gallery.

One of our artists says that marking a piece “for sale” is a bit crass.

He’s right. From now on, any artwork that an artist offers for sale will say “available for purchase.”

The process is the same. Just click the link in the caption, then fill out the email that pops up.

Buyers arrange the purchase — price, original or print, framed or unframed, shipping or pickup, etc. — directly with the artist. Happy shopping!

Meanwhile, a reminder about our works: We invite submissions from all “06880” readers. No matter 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, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
