Talented and popular 12-year-old Aerin Lichtman is joined today by an even younger artist: 10-year-old Ben Gionfriddo.
We welcome too a couple of full-time, gallery-showing professionals: Brian Whelan, and newcomer Dorie.
That’s the whole point of “06880”‘s online art feature: 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.
