Sleep is not my friend.  As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma.  Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis.  It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February.  This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning.  Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”.  Investigate….

Citrus & avocados just became an option again.  For years, my family has been considering locations for relocating, mostly in the eastern U.S., north of the Tennessee/Virginia line.  But after our years of circling the same section of the map, an opportunity much closer to the equator has presented itself.  While I should be concentrating on finding a place to live and all the details that follow, all I can think about is mangoes and avocados, and option I never imagined possible.  While I get back to the garden planning, this next Call offers you a chance to get back to the garden as well.  I love this venue & I’m guessing you will too…

with the heartbeat, or with walking,
or with breathing.” —Karlheinz Stockhausen

___
Portraiture draws me in because I crave the human, the humane. But, aesthetically, the geometric and the abstract are the chosen wallpaper of my life.  I seek out the repetition of strokes and patterns of lines and symbols.   When I came across the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gyula Sagi, my thoughts went immediately to the human heartbeat and the comfort found in repetition.

an imperfect PLACE for food

My kitchen table drama is ongoing.  It is a 45″ round pedestal-style table with a black, faux-milkpaint finish.  Black shows every speck, and that’s worse when your driveway is gravel (or, in my case, not a great housekeeper).  Every time I clean the table, the stain of of the finish comes off a little more and the chairs are a misery.  It gets used as a makeshift desk, studio worktable & only an occasional serving surface, so I can’t bring myself to get rid of it.  My mother’s solution was to quilt a new set of wedge-shaped placements.  All better, right?  Gotta love her optimism.  This next Call won’t make everything better either, but it is a lovely improvement.  Plus, it is a ongoing deadline…

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…

It has been a revolutionary sort of weekend.  I am struggling to figure out what to make of the adults in this world.  While I am trying not to give up on people who should KNOW better, my heart finds relief in the children that DO better.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Richard Brocken, offers a view, often of children, that is reverent and ethereal, sometimes funny or mischievous.  Entirely humane.
