MER-lower,
please

Merlot sings to me.  But the next morning, I will harm anyone attempting to sing to me.  I am allergic to the tannins after years of enjoying the taste of an earthy glass at art openings.  Now, just one glass makes me feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.  I still have a glass occasionally and deal with the consequences.  This next Call wants to see how you deal with the consequences.  Fabulous…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Arc Gallery (San Francisco, CA) for Consequences.   This is a great space, AND I LOVE this theme.  For those of us that live life with little thought of the consequences, this is pure fantasy.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Consequences

Consequences: aftermath, effect, conclusion, outcome, payback, repercussion, result, fallout, reaction, spin-off, inference, distinction, importance, or significant.

Dark, humorous, quirky or twisted, interpret the theme as you like.
