A solar eclipse takes place Monday. Our “06880” artists are ready.
Two submissions explore the rare event, from (of course) different artistic lenses. We’ve got some spring-themed works too, and the usual array of intriguing, exciting works in a variety of styles.
Remember: No matter what your theme or medium — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.
Email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.
Untitled – Dorothy Robertshaw says, “This is cyanotype sun printing art, just in time for the eclipse. You put it between glass you out in the sun, almost like a dark room versus light room. Then you bring it in. You wash it with cold water, then hang dry. This one is paper.”
“The Line of Totality” — acrylic on board (Brian Whelan)
“The Butterfly Effect” — digital illustration (Ken Runkel)
Untitled (Tom Doran)
