Some are abstract. Some are images from around the world. Some are familiar scenes.

Today, 2 Westporters offer their interpretations of places here that no longer exist.

Except, of course, in our memories.

Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, mixed media, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
