the PRICKLY truth

Sometimes you just have to be open to trying new foods.  So, when handed a nopales taco by a friend, I thought “why not”.  Nopal is a common name for the pad of a cacti and sometimes refers to the prickly pear fruit as well.  Fleshy & a little tart, the nopales in my taco really worked as a meat substitute.  I’m not sure why I don’t eat more cacti. To what are you open? This next call is open to any thematic content.  Investigate the opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Open 2018 & the Christopher E. Burke Fine Art Grant. $25 entry & no shipping.  The theme is open to more than pencil & charcoal drawing, and one artist now receives a $500 grant.  Take a look…

presto PESTO

My menu has been pesto-riffic this month.   Two visits to West Virignia resulted in my returning home with the bounty of someone else’s garden, and her basil crop is booming.  Add a few walnuts (my preference over pine nuts), some parm & EVOO, and I have the best pesto on the block, if I do say so myself.  This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens.  This is a perennial favorite, ha…

hold the SHRIMP

The people with whom I eat most often have lots of food allergies –milk, shellfish, wheat.  So how does a food co-exist with food allergies?  The secret is parallel thinking.  For example, I need to make chili paste for Thai dishes, but my husband is deathly allergic to shellfish.  Who might love Thai food, but naturally wouldn’t eat shrimp?  Vegetarians.  Vegetarian chili paste is made with shiitake mushrooms as the substitute for shrimp. Problem solved.  This next Call is about coexistence, diversity & inclusion on a much larger scale.  Take a look…

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win.  In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish.  I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche.  The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well.  Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts.  This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing.  Investigate…

A drawing can be formal and refined, ,expressive and energetic, limitless and timeless; it can capture our thoughts with doodling, marks, lines, or shaded areas expressing our external world and our individual perceptions. It is a record of humanity and our valuable connections to each other. ” –art-competition.net

something SALAD

For most people, the concept of salad is abstract at best –egg, chef, Caesar, Cobb, chicken.  Something loosely defined by intent but not really definable.  You can’t order a salad & know what you’ll get because everyone brings their own meaning to “salad”.  Lately it always means spinach, mushrooms, strawberries & feta, but my mother jumps directly to the three bean variety.  This next Call is waiting for what you will bring to abstract.  Don’t miss your chance…

MEDIA:   Open to still media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, digital, prints, fiber art, collage, etc.

THEME: Abstract “The artwork must be based on abstraction, where the subject or message is pushed to visual limits of abstraction so that there is little or no representation of the real world (as in nonrepresentational). The submitted artwork can be of any subject that is communicated in the power of abstraction. The composition elements of the work must rely on form, color, action, lines, marks, and texture to create a purely abstract work that engages the viewer and draws them into the intention of the artist’s work.”

“. . . the brain mirrors the expanse of the entire cosmos… and beyond. Each moment is unique. Each moment is identical.” Gabrielle Shannon

For most of my life I felt I had a good handle on people as a species –essentially good & well-intentioned but deeply flawed.  But the past few years have opened my eyes to my own bias & rocked my faith in good intentions.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gabrielle Shannon, reminds me that the world is bigger than ourselves, bigger than our experience.  Check our her full statement!

I had a dream last night that I was a member of an elite task force who job was to stop the getaway of bandits driving cars with Boston-creme-doughnut wheels.  I deployed tack strip which led to doughnut bits everywhere and creme filling running in the streets.  Ummm, yeah, I’m concerned too.  This next Call is all about your dreams.  I’m betting you have something that fits this theme…

Reflections upon one’s dreams can have a short-term fleeting effect or a longer-term, even haunting, significance that influences one’s future choices and directions. . . .

all JUICED up

I have to learn to stop reading the comments sections on social media posts.  Even when I think I found a safe, foodie-friendly post, I end up amazed by the viciousness of the battles over juice as the fiber-less evil cousin of fruit or the severing of parental rights over cereal as breakfast food.  Do our food choices speak to the human condition, or is it how we judge others that speaks to our place in the world?  I am always happy to hear your thoughts.  This next Call would also like to know what you have to say about the human condition.  Investigate…

THEME: The Human Condition “The visual narrative of the artist’s work should speak to the human condition:  from joy to despondence, kind fortune to adversity, liberating freedom of expression to agonies of suppression. These myriad strongholds of energies, which hopefully inspire your works, should speak to us as they represent your brightest or darkest experiments and enlightening realizations in your life and should be represented as such here in your fine artwork for us to absorb and potentially integrate into our own lives.  So, your submitted creations should express the subject as felt through the artist’s empathy or subjective eye of experience.  The message is meant for us, the viewer.”

Tired of broccoli?  Me too.  Tired of kale?  I think everyone is.  What about purslane?  It is a succulent herb that has a touch of a bitter overtone.  It is technically a weed, but that just means it is easy to grow.  If you don’t have it naturally growing in your yard, you can buy the seeds on the cheap.  Try it in stir fry or salads.  It might add a new twist on the green portion of your meal.  This next Call wants to how your work is informed by all things green.  And someone will win a $500 grant as well…

THEME:  Green  “art that focuses on color, that is, a subject enhanced, here, by the use of the color green, in particular. The extent of this application to the composition is not a consideration in the judging of each piece.  How the color green engages the viewer to enter the artist’s narrative defines these evaluations—nothing more.  We look forward to receiving potential entries which capture a mood, relay a message, or inspire a viewer to interpret the artist’s work through their intuitive and perhaps methodical utilization of various green shades.” — art-competition.net
