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.
