CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences

Posted on October 15, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

sweet or
SOUR?

There’s a battle brewing in my house. We live within 15 miles of two apple orchards. We only have room for a 5lb. bag of apples each week. This time of year, Crispins (green/golden apples) get my vote, while my husband seems single-mindedly obsessed with Braeburns (red apples). I don’t care what color they are, but red apples tend to be sweeter. We’ve finally taken to trading off weeks. On my weeks, I get to eat my slightly sour raw green apples; on his weeks, we make apple tarts, pies & crisps out of the red variety. I’m trying to embrace our differences–like the them of this next Call. Take a look…

NOT PRICKLY

I always wonder who first looked at an artichoke and said, “Yum. We should try to eat this. It looks delicious, no?” Um, no. I love them, but they don’t look appetizing. There are some foods you know are going to taste good, like peaches, whipped cream & fresh-baked cobblers. This next Call is for a magazine that looks appetizing as well. Every time it arrives, I can’t wait to dive in because the covers are beautiful, and the weight of it feels lush in your hands. Don’t miss this one…

CHICKEN
of beef

I am queen of menu planning. Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it. Well, that never lasts. Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow. The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year. I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see. This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time. Please DO NOT MISS this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Water

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

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.
