06ArtArt0 – Week 74 Gallery

Posted on August 28, 2021 | Leave a comment

As summer wanes, beach scenes abound.

There’s not much time left for them. Soon though, our online gallery will be filled with different seasonal themes. Will you be part of it?

Whatever your age and level of experience — professional or amateur, young or old — this feature is open to everyone.

All genres and styles are encouraged too. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage (and now needlepoint) — whatever you’ve got, email it to dwoog@optonline.net. Share your work with the world!

“I’ve Been to Sea Before” — Artist Jude Gray Smith says, “My family travels to Cape Cod every year. While we while away the hours, we do art – exclusively collage, with visitors’ guides and magazines collected from around the area. We have a home gallery
This years theme is Chatham Pier Fish Market.”

It must be the weather.

Every artist in town is probably at the beach, busily painting and drawing and sculpting summer scenes.

How else to explain that this week’s art gallery is the smallest — just 4 submissions — since “06880” began this project 16 months ago.

Happily, the works are as intriguing as ever. They include a rare GIF from the prolific Karen Weingarten, and a first-ever piece from Angela La Pick.

Come on, everyone else! Join the fun. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage — whatever you’ve got, send it in.

Some of you are professional artists; others are amateurs. Experience does not matter! Email dwoog@optonline.net, to share your work with the world.

Slim pickings this week. Only a few submissions. Hopefully people were off creating art, visiting galleries and museums — not just hanging out at the beach.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

As always, thanks for your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage — send it in!

We are particularly interested in student work, and art from readers who have not submitted before.

After 60 weeks, we’ve turned a corner.

Only 2 this week’s art submissions refer specifically to the pandemic.

This feature began as a way for reader/artists to express their feelings — about COVID, the quarantine, the political climate, you name — through their favorite medium.

Now it’s evolved. The works we feature are more wide ranging. They’re a bit more nuanced. Just one more sign that the world is moving on.

As always: This is your gallery. Some of you are professionals; most are amateurs. Experience does not matter. We want all your art!

Student submissions are especially welcome. So are artists who have not submitted previously. Email dwoog@optonline.net, to share your work with the world.

“May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose” (John Gould)

“Inside a Rainbow of Hope” (Amy Schneider)

“Kenzie.” Artist Beth Berkowitz says: “I had not painted or drawn since high school, when I decided I didn’t want to study art for a career, and have it become a chore with deadlines.
I thought I would work in a ‘real job,’ then always have my art to relax with. However, life took off and I never found the time. Now I’m making the time, and find it soothing and therapeutic.”

“Close-Up” (Lucy Johnson)

“Trees at Earthplace (Rowene Weems)

Once again, our “06880” art gallery welcomes a new young artist.

12-year-old Luke Bernier created a unique character on his Wacom pen tablet. He joins nearly a dozen other contributors, whose works range from watercolor and Japanese ink to photography (both still and in motion).

That’s the whole idea of “0*6*Art*Art*0.” Each week, we feature whatever form suits your mood. Some of you are professionals; most are amateurs. Experience does not matter. We want it all!
