just PEACH-y

I sent my husband to the farmers market for turnips & beets.  He came home with honey & peaches.  I suppose it isn’t like going to the grocery where there are a proscribed list of possible foods you will encounter.  Instead, the farmers market offers an almost endless range of possibilities within your growth climate, lending itself to surprises, naturally.  This next Call is hoping for those same possibilities.  Send them a peach…

DINNER for one entire night

I’m a restaurant camper, and I apologize.  I want the pace of dinner to drag on all night and this isn’t always the same pace at which the restaurant can afford to turn over table.  Luckily, I am also a big tipper and luckily that sometimes buys lots of forgiveness from the serving staff.  This next Call is all about rhythm –fast or slowTake a look…

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

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

CALL for ENTRIES: Sextet III

Learn more about the Sextet III exhibit at the Limner Gallery!

a DOZEN delights

I’ve had many a conversation about why some foods, eggs & bread & oysters for example, come in dozens.  I’ve heard that it is easier to divide because it has more factors (1, 2, 3, 4 & 6).  I’ve heard that a bakers dozen (13) exists merely so delivery men don’t eat part of the order making the baker look like a cheat.  I’ve heard it originated in the fact that there were 12 pennies in a shilling which made sales without change making easier.  None of these are verifiable though. Did you know there is even a Dozenal Society that advocates for 12 as our base number instead of 10?  While you contemplate the math of it all, this next Call will only choose a half dozen artists to participate in this show.  Are you one of six?

VEGGIE dough

Variety in the produce department is on it’s way out with the onset of winter temps.  Initially it feels dire –momentary panic.  But by the time winter arrives, Dec. 21st this year, I will appreciate the nutty sweetness of root veggies and the silky texture of winter squash and a rainbow of beans. Plus, the cost of my weekly produce goes down by a third leaving more money for art supplies. Woohoo! This next Call offers a great opportunity to stock your studio supply closet too.  Take a look…

My kitchen is sacred; all of them have been.  Studio space is sacred, all of them are.  I have had them in every size, and every quality –both kitchens & studios.  Now, my studio is attached to my kitchen, separated by a counter in my tiny new apartment.  I cannot create art outside of the view of my stove, nor create food outside of the view paint tubes & Mason jars of brushes.  It has been the most productive of marriages, compact, comfortable, safe.  This Call wants to know more about YOUR sacred space.  Take a look…

Sanctuary
from Gallery 263

Sanctuary is a place, a feeling, where harmony, beauty, and stillness are shielded and allowed to flourish. A sanctuary can lift us up and make us feel big.  Or, it can shrink us down and show us humility in the face of infinity. We find sanctuary in the presence of awesomeness. It posts up in supportive communities and makes itself known when the impossible becomes reality.” –from gallery263.com

comfort FOOD

We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the East Tennessee wildfires.  When I posted this Call last year, I lamented my emotional-eating reaction to those wildfires –baked goods.  But, a year later finds me back to a full-time studio practice, 40 lbs lighter & feeding my wildfire PTSD with more vegetables & fewer baked goods.  It’s a better place for me.  How about you?  Where were you a year ago? This next Call feels good & is also a great way to end your year.  Cash prizes too…

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have.  Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree.  If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode.  The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are.  We are what we eat, right?  This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work.  This one is personal…

THEME: Red “Colors often symbolize a variety of emotions, an artist’s truth, perhaps wild fantasies—from war, power, heat, love, sexuality, anger, and joy to ‘soft’ idealisms—these are but a few examples. Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net
