We welcome those seasonal themes — and everything else.

We also welcome all kinds of art. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — whatever you’ve got.

Email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Share your work with the world! (PS: Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.)

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

“Aerin’s Thermal” — Steve Stein says: “This was done by our 12-year-old grand child. Thermal art is done on a thermoluminescent screen, It is evanescent, and has to be done quickly before it fades away forever (unless granddad takes a screen shot!).”

“Waiting #3” (Lawrence Weisman)

Photographer Mike Hibbard’s caption: “Okay, they’re watching the elephants. You grab the lunch bags, and I’ll meet you in the trees.”

The center portion of my painting remains to this day.”

Share your work with the world! (PS: Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.)
