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, 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.

Lawremce Weisman writes: “I recently discovered drawings done by my paternal grandmother between 1926 and 1932, very much in the style of the times. Although I knew her well and spent almost every afternoon with her after school, I never knew she had this talent. I think by the time I knew her, in the mid-1940s, she had given up drawing. She died in 1957.”
