CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Acrylic

Posted on February 25, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OLIVE
you too

Only a very small handful of my friends will abide long debates about varietal olive oils. My favorite varietal is made from Frantoio olives. Frantoio olives are widely used in Tuscan olive oils–peppery and bitter and pungent and a bit grassy. Just a few of my food freaky friends will stick around for these debates because we are peas in a pod. This next Call is for peas of the painting pod. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society (NOAPS) for their On-Line International Spring 2014. This entry fee may seem a little high, but you don’t have to be a member. AND, the prizes are spectacular…

CALL for ENTRIES: Knox Photo 2014

Posted on February 22, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

don’t be an
EGGHEAD

I’ve been teaching my son to cook. Well, I’ve been teaching my son to make food–that’s more accurate. He loves egg salad. So, we’ve begun with how to boil an egg and the importance of paprika. You’d be amazed at how often those two, simple factors can ruin egg salad. Just because they are easy or comfortable doesn’t make them less challenging in their own way. This next Call is from one of my favorite organizations, and it is easy to enter. But, it is an opportunity not to be overlooked…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for Knoxville Photo 2014. This is a great show run by a great organization. I’ve shown here several times, and I was even the juror last year…

CALL to ENTRIES: Beach Comber

Posted on February 21, 2014February 21, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

LOBSTA
love

The only good reason to be on the beach is a clambake or a lobster boil, in my opinion. I’ve never been a beach kind of girl. I’ve always preferred the green leafy mountainside over the golden sands of the beach. And I’m not sure why. But I know how many of you are beach combers at heart. So, this next Call is a great opportunity to express your love of the sea in virtually any media or size. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center (Solomons, MD) for Beach Comber Art. $25 to enter up to 4 images. I simply love this venue…

APPLE

One of my favorite places on the planet is my local apple orchard. The landscape is made of meandering rows of trees as far as the eye can see in each direction.

CALL for ENTRIES: In the Abstract

don’t make me
bring the
MIXER

I am no longer fascinated by deconstructed food. I’ll admit that for a while there, it seemed like an art to be served a deconstructed Caesar salad, but I’m over it. If I wanted deconstructed food, couldn’t I just partially create dishes at home and save myself both the extra preparation of making the completed meal and save the trip to the restaurant? I am just uncertain that abstraction has a place in my diet. So, let’s keep abstraction on the wall like in this next Call, okay? Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for In the Abstract from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA). The entry fee is ALWAYS reasonable at this gallery, and you know how I LOVE this gallery…

CALL for ENTRIES:
In the Abstract

Abstract photography explores color, movement, form, and other intangibles that are not dependent on a recognizable subject. The medium of photography has a unique ability to reproduce with precision and clarity, the world as we see it. Abstract photography deconstructs our world, resulting in new and surprising interpretations. Graphic elements without context, long exposures, blurred subjects, and extreme close-ups are a few of the ways that photographers manipulate their subjects in an abstract manner. These works are limited only by imagination.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Non-representational Photography

March 21, 2014

ENTRY FEE:

ONIONS

Sherry is a magical ingredient. I’m not a fan of the aperitif, but you’ll always find sherry in my cupboard. All of it smells like fingernail polish remover to me, so I’ve just give in and started buying the salt-fortified cooking version. Why is it magical, you ask? Sherry is what makes french onion soup taste like french onion soup. Trust me on this one. It smells horrible when I de-glaze the pan while caramelizing onions, but the flavor afterward is, well, magical. This next Call is meant to magical as well. Great theme…

picking a peck of
PEPPER
grinders

I have lost track of the number of pepper mills I have owned. The best one I ever owned featured one-handed operation. It eventually broke after being dropped one too many times, and I could never find the same one again. The dilemma is that they either grind the pepper too fine or too coarse, and the adjusters never turn quite far enough. Ground too finely, pepper will dominate the flavor of any meal. Ground too coarsely, peppercorns will give your guests a crunchy, spicy surprise in the middle of an otherwise well-balanced meal. It is all about the size. So is this next Call. Take a look…
