Online Art Gallery #324

Good morning!

Our last online art gallery before America’s actual 250th birthday — next Saturday is July 4th! — begins with a red-white-and-blue celebration from internationally known 3D pop artist Charles Fazzino.

His original signed and numbered work is available at Westport River Gallery, at Riverside Avenue and Post Road West.

But there’s plenty of other work too, including local scenes by local artists.

All are — as always — welcome. No matter your age; the style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we want 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.
