A solar eclipse takes place Monday. Our “06880” artists are ready.

Two submissions explore the rare event, from (of course) different artistic lenses. We’ve got some spring-themed works too, and the usual array of intriguing, exciting works in a variety of styles.

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.”

“The Line of Totality” — acrylic on board (Brian Whelan)

“The Butterfly Effect” — digital illustration (Ken Runkel)

Untitled (Tom Doran)

Untitled (Roseann Spengler)

“Cherry Blossoms Along the Potomac” (Wendy Levy)

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.
