Tired of broccoli?  Me too.  Tired of kale?  I think everyone is.  What about purslane?  It is a succulent herb that has a touch of a bitter overtone.  It is technically a weed, but that just means it is easy to grow.  If you don’t have it naturally growing in your yard, you can buy the seeds on the cheap.  Try it in stir fry or salads.  It might add a new twist on the green portion of your meal.  This next Call wants to how your work is informed by all things green.  And someone will win a $500 grant as well…

THEME:  Green  “art that focuses on color, that is, a subject enhanced, here, by the use of the color green, in particular.

sugar or cake CONES?

I am addicted to cones of vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate.  More accurately, I love the chocolate dipped diary, not the cone, but I have great respect for the edible nature of this delivery system.  Why don’t we have more edible packaging?  I don’t know either.  (BTW, no, I do NOT want to know about the probably-scary, chemical explanation for why dipping chocolate hardens.  Ignorance is bliss.)  This next Call is all about cones (and rods), but of the photoreceptor quality.  I’ve shown work at this venue, and I can’t wait to see this show…

slow BURN

Four days out of seven find my family eating spicy foods.  Before I quit smoking five years ago, I suspected my tolerance for spicy food came from my deadened taste buds.  But after years as a non-smoker, we eat more hot food, not less.  However, I’m not usually a fan of overtly fiery foods; I prefer the slow burn that simmers just below the surface.  I frequently start dinner thinking “this needed more heat” and end the meal with a flush having creeped up my scalp.  This next Call wants to know what is layered just below the surface of your work.  Take a look…

CHEESE glorious cheese

I still get email about my relationship with food.  A number of my friends & peers are vegan and are bothered by my cheese obsession.  I dare say the majority of the people I know are vegetarian; therefore, any mention of meat ends in a little hate mail from frenemies.  And I still regularly get the “why do you write about food” question even though we’ve been at it for almost 10 years now.  I am surprised EVERY time.  I forget people read what I write, ha.  This next Call wants to know about your relationship to anything you care to share.  How will you answer this Call?

my CREME-filled heart

My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary with Chinese takeout because neither of felt like cooking or grocery shopping.  It was our typical night egg drop soup & steamed dumplings, but the thing that made the night a celebration came in a paper bag.  A beautiful, fresh chocolate eclair from our local doughnut shop, a guilty pleasure from the middle years of our marriage when that was one of the only splurges we could afford.  Since then, I tend to watch my sugar intake and my husband was diagnosed with a wheat allergy.  But with a that single damn-the-consequences pastry, I felt the heart flutter that says he’ll stick for another twenty.  Some of the best things come in, or on, paper just like in this next Call.  Plus the gallery is gorgeous…

FRUIT bowl

My husband has been throwing new bowls for me. (He’s a commercial potter.) I now have bowls of fruit and yarn and onions and paper clips.  Because I can’t decide on a glaze color, he keeps throwing while I cannot part with any of them.  Now it appears that all things in my house have to be stored in bowls.  I’m am currently rationalizing it as a study in perpetual still life.  This next Call encourages a far broader interpretation of still life than fruit in a bowl.  Send them your best…

THEME:  Still Life 2.0. “From the Greco-Roman art, mostly depicting offerings for the gods, to the Dutch masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, to the vanitas and, later on, to impressionism and cubism, still lifes have always been providing keys to understanding cultures of different eras and regions, as well as the psyche of each individual artist. Forget about fruits and flowers or bowls and skulls.
