Learn more about the CANvas CANpaign from the Can'd Aid Foundation! a-FLOAT

I like to believe I am rarely surprised, but truth is I am surprised & often.  The latest is alcoholic water.  When is the last time you took a drink of water & thought, “if only this were alcoholic”? I am guessing that the lower sugar content appeals to those dieting & drinking. This next Call is all about water of the non-alcoholic variety for communities in need.  This is a rare chance to enter a contest for good that offers monetary awards for winners.  Take a look…

“I sculpt beasts that tell stories.“ — Brian Somerville

•

French philosopher Albert Camus once said, “A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.”  But, I’ve always believed that we create the majority of beasts of this world from our anxiety and worry and imagination.  The beasts of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Brian Somerville, guide us through fear with a little humor.

I find it is often the monsters of the imagination that delight us as children, but the reality of those monsters sometimes haunt us in adulthood.  The “Animal Abecedary” of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Leslie Haines, reminds us that “A” can be for “Apple”, but it can also be for “Alligator”.  Check out the full series!

she chose to stay on earth”
—Barend Paul Barnard

Every day is a choice.  The best we can do is be honest and try to be of help.  Be your best self.  When I saw “white Tara” by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Barend Paul Barnard, I immediately thought fierce warrior for good.  She looks us in eye –forward, not ferocious.  I am inspired.

Except for a few specialty pieces, I’ve always owned white dishes.  I love color, but food has always been the creative expression for me –even when my husband spent two years as a commercial potter.  In recent years, we’ve begun slumping glass part time in a kiln shed built onto our back deck.  I am intrigued by the patterns and textures and colors as they meld together.  It make me want to make a different sheet of glass for every window in my house.  This next Call is a salute to that very visual framework.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Unsolicited

an imperfect PLACE for food

My kitchen table drama is ongoing.  It is a 45″ round pedestal-style table with a black, faux-milkpaint finish.  Black shows every speck, and that’s worse when your driveway is gravel (or, in my case, not a great housekeeper).  Every time I clean the table, the stain of of the finish comes off a little more and the chairs are a misery.  It gets used as a makeshift desk, studio worktable & only an occasional serving surface, so I can’t bring myself to get rid of it.  My mother’s solution was to quilt a new set of wedge-shaped placements.  All better, right?  Gotta love her optimism.  This next Call won’t make everything better either, but it is a lovely improvement.  Plus, it is a ongoing deadline…

Check out this Open Call for Entries from The Woven Tale Press for unsolicited submissions.  No entry fee for this opportunity.  Writing submissions are welcomed as well.  Art publication is worth the effort, and I’ll keep publishing them until we find the right one for you.  Take a look…

pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…

woman in disguise.” –Jeffrey Eugenides

___

It has been a revolutionary sort of weekend.  I am struggling to figure out what to make of the adults in this world.  While I am trying not to give up on people who should KNOW better, my heart finds relief in the children that DO better.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Richard Brocken, offers a view, often of children, that is reverent and ethereal, sometimes funny or mischievous.  Entirely humane.
