CALL for ENTRIES: Water

Posted on October 8, 2014October 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATER
from above or below?

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm. We’re excited. We are hoping to move early 2017. We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer. Then there’s the issue of water. I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation. And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property. So my options are well water or cistern water. Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions. This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life. I’m thirsty…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Water

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME: Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth. It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy. It is necessary for our survival. It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied. All life on earth is connected by the need for water. Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

“I have always believed in establishing the sky tone, in general, as soon as possible. In sea painting the rest depends upon it because of the element of reflection.” — Frederick Waugh

CALL for ENTRIES: Mono No Aware 2014

Posted on September 26, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MOOOzzarella

I’ve been toying with the idea of making cheese. I have had a 30+ year love affair with cheese–cow to sheep to goat. Does anyone think I can convince Jon that we can raise and milk cows, sheep & goats, plus make cheese in addition to the blogging, art, singing & house renovation? It isn’t what we normally do, but we can learn, right? I am going to start with a cow’s milk mozzarella. Wish me luck.

I’ve become a casual fan of Naked & Afraid (the TV show). When flipping through the channels, I keep tripping across the reruns. For those of you non-watchers. Two people (1 man, 1 woman) that have never met who are dropped in a remote location for 21 days with nothing–not even clothes. I am dumbfounded by what they will eat. If you’re hungry enough, I supposes giant crickets (maybe it was a grasshopper) look delicious. Bizarre. Here’s a Call for all things bizarre. Maybe even crickets…

POTATOES

While traveling recently, I was forced to choose between two “American” restaurants as my only options. According to these menus, American fare is defined as steak, baked potatoes, boiled vegetables, hamburgers & fries. I am puzzled by that summation.

Take a look…

I love eating in a small town because I have learned that it means I can more easily know and appreciate my connections to my food.

This next Call is looking for your views on the cityy–good OR bad.

BEANS?

My mother cans green beans for me every year, and when I arrive to pick them up for winter back stock, her questions is always, “Greens or beans?” Apparently toward the end of the canning batch, the last few jars have an excess of beans from the ones that fell out of the greens while cooking.

Bold. Talented. Demanding. Idolized.

Whether they are known for their powerhouse vocals and intoxicating talent or their over-the-top, won’t-stop, vogue-til-you-drop life and style, a true diva is a muse to the masses.

They unapologetically demand devotion while remaining utterly unapproachable, keeping the world at a measured distance.

Non-Fiction Gallery wants to bring the celebrity divine within reach.

Show them your smallest works inspired by the biggest and boldest doyennes.
