CALL for ENTRIES: 7th Nat’l Pastel

Learn more about the 7th National Exhibit from the Arkansas Pastel Society!iced PASTELES

My Spanish classes are coming along nicely although I am struggling with objective pronouns.  My food vocabulary expands easily and exponentially.  My favorite is pasteles.  Cognates are easier to remember, but some words just stick in the brain & roll off the tongue.  Pasteles = cakes.  This next Call is for pastels, not pasteles, but segues are hard.  It’s a stretch, I know.  If pastel is your media, this is a great show…

Check out this Call for Entries from Arkansas Pastel Society (Little Rock, AR) for 7th National Exhibit. This media-specific show offers $35 Entry, 40% commission & a great juror.  Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Kristen Brown

Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown!
Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown

“I am interested in the idea of recollection & how time & moments can feel distorted if one fails to grab hold of any memory landmark.” Kristen Brown

My grandmother lived with Alzheimer’s; her mother lived with Alzheimer’s.  Every lost memory scares the wits out of me. Logically, I know that wasting my lucid years worrying about a feared eventuality of non-lucidity is just the most stupid waste of a lifetime, but some days it gets the better of me.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kristen Brown, brought me to tears.  It is that blurred perception of reality, that soft focus of memories just out of reach that she captures so well.  Thanks for the perspective.
