Online Art Gallery #335

This week’s online art gallery brings many reflections.

And not just because it marks the anniversary of 9/11.

Our artists reflect on the High Holidays, our Minute Man, the state of our nation, and nature’s branches.

It’s another inspiring, thought-provoking week in our gallery. But we couldn’t it without you.

No matter your age; the style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we want your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, mixed media, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.

Just email a JPG to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in.
