RASPBERRIES
& beet-red cheeks

That moment when someone unexpectedly walks in the kitchen while you’re cramming the last of the chocolate chips in your mouth like Lucille Ball in a chocolate factory… simply common place at my house.  Insert raspberries or pickled beets into that sentence, and it has my name written all over it.  I’m constantly being caught red-handed.  Luckily for me, this next Call is for all of my red-handed compatriots–in & out of foodie-land.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Curator Sharon Meriash for 7th Annual RED Show at the T Gallery Denver (Denver, CO).  $10 Entry, a great theme & juror too!  I want to enter this one, but alas, I work in black & white.  Time to work outside the comfort zone…

CALL for ENTRIES: REDhanded

Why RED?  Red is the warmest and most striking of all colors. Red is the color most chosen by extroverts and one of the top picks of males. Red can mean love, lust, anger, temper, fiery heat and warmth. Red can symbolize danger. In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy where brides wear red and front doors are often painted red. Red is Tuesday’s color. Red roses symbolize passionate love. Red is the color of Mars. Red is the color of blood with strong symbolism as life and vitality. And we believe artists who work in RED understand the power of creating art within shades of red.  Here’s hoping to catch you RedHanded! –from the prospectus
