CALL for ENTRIES: Pure Abstraction

Posted on August 30, 2014August 30, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…

TAMALE

Apparently, I’m a hot tomato. Yep. I have a friend from Honduras for whom English is a 3rd language. And she likes to call me a hot tomato. She uses it in reference to my writing and singing style, and I’ve decided to take it as a compliment. The first few times I heard it, I gently reminded her that she meant ‘tamale’ not ‘tomato’. But eventually, I came to think she may be right. I look good in red. I am occasionally rounder than other times. My insides are squishy, but the contents vary from sweet to acid–determined by environment. This next Call is looking for all thinks tomato–apparently including me. Love this theme…

HAD A COW

Have you heard about the cannulated cows? Wow. Who knew there were cows with port holes? I was watching the Wisconsin edition of Weird Foods America. And a professor at UW-Madison Department of Dairy Science was explaining how they put port holes in the side of cows to study the “ruminant’s digestive process” or the chewing of the cud aka “ruminating.” Into my miscellaneous food trivia file THAT tidbit went; THEN, I received this Call from Ruminate Magazine. Funny how things work out…

FINGER
fads

Not every food fad is a good one. I am still waiting for jalapeno poppers and chicken fingers to go away. But, if farm to table/plate is a fad, I hope it lasts forever. I am so inspired by how much better the options are out there. And if you happen across a town that already prides itself on food, well then you’re in for a food fantasy.

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on July 24, 2014July 29, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
for miles

I cannot eat enough watermelon these days. And, I am intrigued by the variances. My town has ONE grocery store, and the markings indicate that most of the watermelons they carry come from a single source. So how is it that 3 melons of equal ripeness bought on 3 different days taste SO different? One is super sweet, one in grainy & one is ripe, but tangy. This next Call is for Still Life where the presence of fruit is ubiquitous. Did you every notice how rarely you see watermelon in those paintings? Contemplate that when you choose your subject matter…

ARTIST to LOVE: Megan Elizabeth

Peek-a-Boo, We See You!

Say “Hello” to our newest Artist to Love…

Megan Elizabeth
Acrylic, Ink & Spraypaint

Jellies
Painting

The work of MEGAN ELIZABETH reflects an attitude of experimentation, analysis of the elements of accident & a curiosity regarding the beauty created by the transparency & overlapping of ideas. Washes in the paintings, elements of spontaneity & use of collage are fundamental in many of my works. My inspiration comes from waterscapes, sunsets, bright colors in nature & the silhouettes created by extreme light or darkness. Much of my work has been derived from experiences living in Spain, travels in the Caribbean and in Europe & growing up on the east coast of the US.

FAVORITE FOOD: Chocolate

What’s your favorite edible flower? Most of us have had a lilac or rose petal infused whipped cream. But I want to encourage you to try a little Calendula in place of saffron or peppery Nasturtium salad. Just remember that blooms used in cooking must be orgainic–no exceptions. Also, be sure to wash them well to remove all traces of fertilizers like manure. This next Call is all about blooms, edible or not. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Happy Accidents

Posted on July 12, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

BANANAS
with salt

I am addicted to salty crunch–but not in the way you would think. It isn’t potato chips, although I do love them dearly. No, I am newly addicted to bananas with peanut butter and chunky sea salt. Odd, I know. It was a happy accident, really. We buy unsalted natural peanut butter and salt it ourselves. And, when my salt grinder started acting up, I ended up with HUGE salt boulders on my bananas with peanut butter. Now, they HAVE to be boulders. This next Call might just appreciate my happy accident. Check it out…

the
TROUT
trick

Fresh fish is so close I can almost taste it. No really, my husband literally goes around the corner to fish for brook trout that my municipality stocks the local river with from the government-run hatchery to ensure tourists can fish. You can’t make up a story like that. Well, yes, you can, but I didn’t; I swear. No lake trip necessary. But a trip to the sea would make for great inspiration for this next Call.
