swirl & DRIZZLE

Kitchen creativity is all about the art of substitution.  I find that I am okay with juice instead of syrup in many dishes, but in savory dishes, I find oil replacements frequently leave me missing something.  Have you had an olive packed in oil versus an olive packed in oil?  There is no comparison.  I’ll take a drizzle of sesame oil over almost anything.  This next Call is all about the oils.  Take a look…

Can we talk about food porn?  I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media.  Yes, I am one of those people.  But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics.  You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is.  So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience?  OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends?  Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

Summer has brought a new challenge to my cooking regime–going wheat-free.  No, it isn’t a whim, it is doctor’s orders.  I have a couple of health issues that my doctor believes is being aggravated by the inflammation that naturally accompanies the consumption of wheat.  But, classic Summer fare like chocolate chip cookies can’t be stricken from the menu, or I might get stricken from my house, ha.  So, I’ll just keep trying the get it right.  This next Call is for a classic media, and you have several chances to get it right this year.  Investigate…

JUROR:  Kim Casebeer was born & raised in Kansas.  As part of a fourth generation farm family, she has been connected to the land for a long time.  Kim still lives in Kansas and draws her inspiration from the simplicity of the Flint Hills, an area of wide open ranch land.  “It’s a simple landscape,” she says.  “It’s not grandiose.  You have to spend some time and let it speak to you.”  These days Kim also feels at home painting in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming and Texas.  “I think the simplicity of the Kansas landscape has helped me find the essence of other places.  I’m able to focus on what’s important in a composition.  It’s as much about what’s not in the painting as what is.”

Work by Juror Kim Casebeer!Kim received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Kansas State University in 1992.  She worked as a graphic designer and art director in order to pay the bills, while spending evenings and weekends painting until 2002, when she was able to make the leap to full-time artist.  Kim has continued to study with artists such as Albert Handell, W. Scott Jennings, Michael Albrechtsen, Scott Christensen and Matt Smith.

Kim has work in many private, corporate and museum collections throughout the United States.  She is represented by American Legacy Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri; Grapevine Gallery in Oklahoma City; Hueys Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico; K. Newby Gallery in Tubac, Arizona; Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona and Jackson, Wyoming; and Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan, Kansas.

AWARDS: $3,000 for first place, $1,500 for second place and $500 for third place along with 10 honorable mentions

OPEN CALL: Natural/Constructed Spaces

I am currently going through what my husband has dubbed the “Super Suzie” phase.  It has a name because every time I take a few weeks off from working outside of my home office, I take on this Super-Woman-like persona that cooks and cleans and nests.  It doesn’t last long because I’m not particularly good at it.  Occasionally, it spins out of control and results in molded gelatin “delicacies”.  This next Call might be better way to for me (and you) to express our Natural vs. Constructed theories.  Trust me on this one…

Check out this Open Call from The Painting Center (NY, NY) for Natural/Constructed Spaces.  This is a reasonable fee for a Chelsea exhibition opportunity because I know some of you are still searching for the elusive New York Show.  Take a look…

The Painting Center, a gallery in the heart of Chelsea, announces a call for entries for its upcoming juried exhibition entitled Natural/Constructed Spaces, running from June 19th to July 14th, 2012. The exhibit will be accompanied by a printed catalog and will be widely publicized. 

As artists, we are all compelled to create and look at images of the natural and man made worlds in which we live.  Through these images we are able to express nostalgia for a simpler, more pristine world, bring attention to environmental degradation, or ponder the wonders and despair of today’s urban centers.

For Natural/Constructed Spaces, The Painting Center invites representational and abstract painters to submit work that considers all aspects– natural, constructed, deconstructed– of rural/urban/suburban environments in the 21st century.
