Wasn’t it just yesterday we were stunned to be self-isolating — and art seemed a safe, sensible way to keep our wits and express our emotions?
No. It was nearly 7 weeks ago.
Every Saturday since, “06880” has shared readers’ artwork. Professional, amateur, old, young — you’re sending us your paintings, collages, sketches, photos, sculptures, chalkwork, cartoons, whatever.
The only rule is it must be inspired by, reflective of, or otherwise related to the times we’re going through.
Keep the submissions coming (including students, of any grade!). Just email dwoog@optonline.net.
