June Yokell
Painting

The End is Now
Painting

June YOKELL is currently working on paintings of California landscapes creating particular moments in paint of beauty & loss.

"I feel a rootedness to everything about nature;-rushing rivers, tangled bushes and trees, blooming plants & flowers, songs of birds, snow falling in a silent and dark night, the warmth of a summer evening. Early experiences along with my response to nature, to personal relationships and to the world are the ingredients. The presence of memory is the ongoing spice."

FAVORITE FOOD: Salad

CALL for ENTRIES: Pure Abstraction

Posted on August 30, 2014August 30, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on July 24, 2014July 29, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATERMELON
for miles

I cannot eat enough watermelon these days. And, I am intrigued by the variances. My town has ONE grocery store, and the markings indicate that most of the watermelons they carry come from a single source. So how is it that 3 melons of equal ripeness bought on 3 different days taste SO different? One is super sweet, one in grainy & one is ripe, but tangy. This next Call is for Still Life where the presence of fruit is ubiquitous. Did you every notice how rarely you see watermelon in those paintings? Contemplate that when you choose your subject matter…

CALL for ENTRIES: Soul of a Woman

Posted on July 24, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

don’t call me
EGGY

How is it that quiche became girly food? I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche. The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really? It is eggs, cream and cheese. I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.” But, men eat pie, right? I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table. Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only. Maybe. Investigate…

ARTIST to LOVE: Megan Elizabeth

Peek-a-Boo, We See You!

Say “Hello” to our newest Artist to Love…

Megan Elizabeth
Acrylic, Ink & Spraypaint

Jellies
Painting

The work of MEGAN ELIZABETH reflects an attitude of experimentation, analysis of the elements of accident & a curiosity regarding the beauty created by the transparency & overlapping of ideas. Washes in the paintings, elements of spontaneity & use of collage are fundamental in many of my works. My inspiration comes from waterscapes, sunsets, bright colors in nature & the silhouettes created by extreme light or darkness. Much of my work has been derived from experiences living in Spain, travels in the Caribbean and in Europe & growing up on the east coast of the US.

FAVORITE FOOD: Chocolate

CALL for ENTRIES: Lines into Shapes

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

DOUGH not

The hot-fresh-now doughnut purveyor is very popular during tourist season in the Smokies. Summertime often means a car line for the drive thru stretches for a 1/4 mile down the Parkway. I don’t understand. I’ll stand in line, or sit in line, for a lot of foods, but why doughnuts? Donuts with a K are everywhere aren’t they? What makes them so special while you’re on vacation? It baffles me. This next Call does NOT baffle me, and the name is all about the lines. Check out the gallery and/or online show choice. Interesting option…

CALL for ENTRIES: Oil & Water

Posted on July 10, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

OIL
me up

Olive oil seems quintessentially Italian to me. But, did you know that the top producer of olive oil, by a fairly wide margin, is Spain? I always think of it as Italian or Greek. This next Call is not just about oil, but water too. Take a look at this opportunity…

JAM
not jelly

Chia seeds are fascinating. I have started using them to make raw, small-batch refrigerator jam from overripe fruit. Yum. The seeds are hydrophilic, absorbing up to 12 times their weight in liquid when soaked. While soaking, the seeds develop a mucilaginous gel-like coating that gives my jam a fantastic texture. I feel a little like a mad scientist every time I use them, ha. Here’s a science (& art) call for the Chicago area. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Figure Revealed

BUTTER BEANS
or butter AND beans

My husband is a string bean. He is six feet tall and has spent most of the past 15 years struggling to hang on to 145 lbs all while consuming every meal as though it were it last. Yes, it IS annoying. But, changes in the fat & protein content in our diet over the past year have resulted in his gaining about 10 lbs and a pant size. I’m tickled. He’s still a string bean, but age is revealing a completely different figure. This next Call asks for more figures revealed. In the meantime, it is hollandaise & a spoon for dinner…
