Is everyone on vacation?

After a summer of robust art activity, submissions were slim for this week’s online gallery.

Perhaps our artists are out on the water. Nearly half of our works this week show a nautical theme.

Of course, the quality remains high. And the subjects, wide-ranging.

With back to school near, we continue to welcome atercolors, 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 to contribute.

“Sunset Reflected From a Car Window” (Benji Porosoff, age 16)

“Sailing Near Fishers Island with an Easterly Wind” (Peter Barlow)

“Three Masted Galleon in a Manischewitz Bottle.” Steve Stein explains, “I did this with my grandsons one Sunday afternoon. The boat is built outside the flat-sided wine bottle with the masts hinged back and down, to be pulled up by long threads after placement in the bottle. The hardest part is getting the green clay ocean to lie flat.”

Untitled (Werner Liepolt)

“Spud Chef” (Lawrence Weisman)

“Standing Together: Our Past and Future” — Kathmandu, Nepal (Mike Hibbard)

“Poppy” (Ken Runkel)

Remember: This is your feature. Everyone is invited to contribute. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions.
