fare

I prefer thought-out, composed meals with true intention. But, let’s face it…that doesn’t always happen. Today, my lunch included two olive & cream cheese stuffed pieces of celery, a deviled egg, a pickled beet, two slices of fresh tomato and two pickles. The only thing composed was the beautiful square plate. Truly, it was a collage of anything I could find that didn’t have to be cooked. This next Call wants your collage, AND they want it square. Whatcha think about that?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Collage Artists of America for Squared (online). If you’re looking for some media-specific, additional online exposure, this is a great opportunity…

SNOW

Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014. So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers. This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA. I can’t wait…

FLOUR

All I want for my birthday is a biscuit. My birthday is June 6th. On Christmas Day, I made my birthday request of my mother. She’s the best biscuit-maker I know, my husband being a close 2nd, but neither of them has yet to master a gluten-free biscuit. I can only hope one of them figures it out. It is the only gluten-laden food I miss. And, in a cruel twist of fate, this Call is in my backyard. I can’t bear the thought, so please, someone make me proud…

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…

CALL to ENTRIES: Beach Comber

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…

The goal is to create a rich and textured exploration of our relationship to the seaside.

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…

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

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…
