We’ve made a tiny tweak to our online art gallery.

One of our artists says that marking a piece “for sale” is a bit crass.

He’s right. From now on, any artwork that an artist offers for sale will say “available for purchase.”

The process is the same. Just click the link in the caption, then fill out the email that pops up.

Buyers arrange the purchase — price, original or print, framed or unframed, shipping or pickup, etc. — directly with the artist. Happy shopping!

Meanwhile, a reminder about our works: We invite submissions from all “06880” readers. No matter 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.

This feature is open to all. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone can contribute.

Please email a jpeg to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.
