Online Art Gallery #303

As the snow flew last weekend — and many Westporters lit fires, sipped coffee and hunkered down — our artists and photographers went to work.

They gathered their brushes, picked up their cameras, and created even more beauty and wonder out of all that lay around.

And while many of us grappled with the horrific news from the day before in Minnesota, some channeled their emotions into their work.

Today’s online gallery begins with nature, makes a brief stop for Valentine’s Day, and ends with humanity.

As always, we invite you to be part of next week’s exhibition. No matter your age; the 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.

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