Untitled – Dorothy Robertshaw says, “This is cyanotype sun printing art,  just in time for the eclipse. You put it between glass you out in the sun, almost like a dark room versus light room. Then you bring it in. You wash it with cold water, then hang dry. This one is paper.”

Online Art Gallery #200

Our online art gallery began nearly 4 years ago.

It was the early days of the pandemic. “06880” wanted to give stuck-at-home artists, photographers, sculptors, knitters — and all other visual arts creators — an opportunity to show off their work.

The first pieces were COVID-related. Soon, our gallery moved on to a galaxy of other themes.

All along, it’s been a place for all “06880” readers.

As we move on to our next milestone, we continue to  welcome your work. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.

Online Art Gallery #191

Today’s online art gallery opens with a special request.

In this season of giving, Westport artist Mark Yurkiw is thinking of his native Ukraine. As the Russian war grinds on, he wants to ensure that no one forgets the plight: 10 million Ukrainians are displaced, 20 million shelter in place, and 10 million are protecting their nation, any way they can.

Over the past 2 years Mark has donated his artwork, as a way to raise funds to help Ukraine. His work is serious, superb, and important. He invites interested collectors to contact him for an appointment to see it, in his barn/studio. Mark’s email is mark.think3d@gmail.com.

Art by Mark Yurkiw …

… and Mark outside his barn, with one of his Ukrainian-themed works.
