purple
mountains POTATOES
majesty

I’m craving purple potatoes. Potatoes have become scarce in my house lately. Paranoid about my family’s long history of diabetes, we are trying to limit our starch intake to see if my current symptoms can be controlled through diet. Because we already cut out gluten, I don’t really miss bread. We’ve never consumed a lot of rice & prefer spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles to pasta. But oh how I miss the potatoes– the beautiful, majestic purple ones particularly. I’m sneaking them in as the crust for quiche & pot pies, but the chips & fries & mash are all gone. I have to reserve all things majestic for this next call. Love this one…

Posted on April 7, 2014April 7, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CABINETS
full of
hard knocks

Unfortunately for my husband, my late Aunt Mildred has been visiting. Not literally–that would be creepy. The long standing joke in my family is that my Aunt Mildred never finished anything until the last possible moment. She hemmed her daughters’ prom dresses while they were in them trying to leave for the prom, and she left all of her kitchen cabinets wide open until she was finished with dinner. This week alone, I have left kitchen cabinets wide open 4 times. If I lose count, I only have to count the knots on his head. So, my family would say, “Hi, Mildred. Thanks for visiting.” This next Call is a far better way to be wide open. Trust me on this one…

’tis the
SEASON

It is ramp season in the Smoky Mountains. I am thrilled to have a locally-grown, fresh vegetable of any sort after the winter of snow & ice we just endured–even if it gives us all dragon breath. If you aren’t familiar, ramps are spring onions with a strong garlic smell and onion flavor. They are called “spring leeks” elsewhere. We’re using them in salads, soups, casseroles and atop nearly every dish consumed in my house right now. You name it, we’re finding a way to eat them. Another sign of Spring is this next Call. Maybe this one is for you…

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Deibler’s passion for landscapes, mountains in particular began after seeing the 1956 movie The Mountain as a young boy.

“Every time I look out the window or walk outside I’m in the mountains, making it much easier for me to observe the constant moods and nuances of nature. My goal is to portray what I’m experiencing in nature, I want the viewer of my work to say ‘I’d like to be there’.”--Tim Deibler

Wouldn’t consumption without worry be lovely? I have problems with portion control. I could eat POUNDS of goat cheese, DOZENS of cookies, and GALLONS of ice cream.

BUTTER, GHEE
or me

The only thing missing from California cuisine is butter. It is characterized by local, fresh ingredients and foods low in saturated fats and high in fresh vegetables and fruits with lean meats and seafood from the California coast with special attention paid to presentation–delicious & beautiful. But why leave out the butter? And, if it is from local, grass-fed cows, even better. Can’t we just learn to play well with others? The prize for this next Call hails from the land of California cuisine. Is this opportunity the one for you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Hue

anything but the
WHITE TABLE

I am addicted to salt. I am. I’ve given up most vices, but salt is here to stay. I have unnaturally low blood pressure (70/50), and my doctor suspects that is WHY I crave salt. So what does one do when faced with a salt addiction? Become a salt aficionado, of course. There is a rainbow-hued world of salt options out there. My current favorite is Hawaiian alaea salt which derives its pinkish or brownish hue from it’s volcanic clay rich in iron oxide. This next Call is all about the hue as well. Hue CAN tell the difference, hehehe…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Hue. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Hue

Color in photography has symbolism and meaning that travels beyond what you see.

More than the combination of red, green, and blue or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, color is a visual tool for non-verbal communication: a viewer’s perception and connection to an image can be significantly enhanced by a certain hue.

Strip away the subject matter from a photograph, and what is left behind? Two things. The underlying geometry of the photo, its composition or balance, and the color. The design and geometry make an image coalesce, become solid, and enduring. Whereas the color carries the opposite message, one of transience and impermanence. That’s because colors are not inherent in objects, but change and evolve with the changing light – and we photographers know, light is always changing.

Hues must contrast or complement one another to create a successful image, a delicate dance of visual balance. For this exhibit we are looking for works that exemplify the innate power of color. Images that drive us through hue to an emotive response.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: April 16, 2014

NOTIFICATION: April 23, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

Today I spied organic alphabet soup in the grocery store. There is some humor to be found in the idea that someone invested in eating organically would also want a food so tortured & processed that it can spell out words. And, I don’t believe anyone is REALLY teaching their children to read with soup. So do we really need to communicate with food, literally, or am I just a huge hypocrite for constantly preach about the transformative & communicative power of food? Okay, I’m a hypocrite, ha. But, this next Call speaks to the power of text; however, I suspect they are not searching for alphabet pasta mosaics. Check out this fantastic venue…
