“I explore the relationship of the subjects as an almost religious icon, as a portrait. Everything I paint has an energy that I strive to bring to the surface.” –Jennie Traill Schaeffer

It seems that today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Jennie Traill Schaeffer finds an inner purpose or being, a light if you will, in all objects.  It doesn’t upset me at all that she chose cupcakes this time.  Enjoy this sweet treat…

life LESSONS

I have a love for the written word, both for content AND form.  I good sign for anything–barbershop, hardware or boutique, will make my heart skip a beat.  I may have found my soul mate in today’s Artist of the Day Danielle Evans of Marmalade Bleue, whose “heartstrings are plucked by lettering”.  Did I mention that she uses mostly food?  I know… soul mates.  Plus, what better ART to pair with today’s ART DEADLINE?

Love You more than Pizza by Artist of the Day Danielle Evans!
“Love You more than Pizza” by Artist of the Day Danielle Evans. The pizza image was carved blindly without stencil, using 4 mediums, eventually executing the final on a extra large, 16″ diameter pie.

As a kid, I loved making Valentines and dropping them in my classmates’ handmade holiday boxes with a piece of candy. This year I realized Instagram had adopted a direct message box requiring a private image to start a discussion which reminded me of this nostalgic practice. I set to work on the theme ‘Love You More Than…’ and sent over 250 private message Valentines with personal notes to the recipients.  I pulled every pun, sparing no dad joke. This was about more than love.–Danielle Evans

Why NOT food?  Yes, it is that time of year again.  I’ve received more hate mail from artists that think this blog would be far more effective if I would just quit talking about food.  The last time this happened, I actually added “a food-themed art blog” to the header.  To be honest, the half-dozen hate mail emails I get a year don’t really bother me.  But, I am always amazed at how much anger people can muster for the most insignificant issues.  This next call is equally obsessed with food.  I am in good company…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Feast your Eyes.  Fantastic space, great curatorial vision & always prestigious company.  Take a look…

Food can be more than sustenance; food can be a passion, an entertaining and delicious escape, a comfort, or an obsession. Food is vital to our lives and is certainly at the heart of every celebration. Food is the subject of endless books, news reports, scientific studies, social media posts, and conversations. We are deeply interested in its sustainability, production, processing, distribution, scarcity, quantity, quality, composition, and price. This show invites artists to explore these and other food-related issues, from the profound to the ridiculous. –from prospectus
