I am getting ready to begin my endeavor to grow my own food. Let’s hope my luck is better with lettuce and root vegetables than it was with tomatoes.  I can look at tomato plants (and ferns), and they simply die.  No kidding.  This next call wants your view on botanicals.  Let your green thumbs show…

LAMBCHOP,

I love my husband more than life itself, but if he wasn’t a food freak…we would never have made it.  Lamb is still the ultimate treat in our household, and I could not love him more for it. My loves are my husband & family, food and then art. This next call wants you to name YOUR loves.  Don’t procrastinate…

my love

I love my husband more than life itself, but if he was just a meant-and-potatoes guy…we would never have made it.  Relationships have hinged on worse, no doubt.  The idea of a perfect lamb roast or seared piece of ahi gives hime the shivers, and I could not love him more for it.  My loves are my husband, food and art.  This next call wants you to name YOUR loves.  Say it with art…

CALL for ENTRIES: Energy Roundup

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!A non-electric KNIFE
to the HEART

Many moons ago, I had an electrified kitchen gadget for everything.  But as the years go by, I found myself drawn to the more manual side of cooking–good knives, a great mandolin, and compact do-hickeys that serve my family in many ways.  Give me a manual can-opener any time.  An electric can opener won’t do you a lot of good if the power goes out.  So, my kitchen is getting a little greener, and this Call for Entries encourages you to make your art a little greener.  Take a look…

CALL to ARTISTS: Housekeeping

Click to Subscribe to www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com by Email!NUTS FOR COCONUT

I am not a good house keeper.  We must own our faults, and this fact is one of my many faults.  I don’t qualify for Hoarding or Clean House, but I also don’t dust unless my kid sneezes.  There are always 4 loads of laundry that need to be done, and I am fairly certain there is a can of coconut milk in my cabinet that expired in 2006. 

Life is too short.

 

However, I cannot afford to be a bad blog house keeper.  All of you deserve better than dusty pages and rotten Calls.  There are too many of you whose trust I have earned over the past year and a half to let things fall through the cracks.

So, I am counting on you to resist the urge to move on to checking other email or goofing off on facebook and help me out folks.  We really need to work on cleaning up a few things that are left lingering about even after the New Year:

Click to visit the Rejection Page!CLEANING LIST:

 

REJECTION LETTERS:  I had hoped that the Rejection page would be in full swing by January, but I still don’t have enough letters to start properly.  Please email your rejections letters and/or emails to me at submitart@artandartdeadlines.com

I prefer scans of printed letters, but those are rare.  Remember, sending a rejection letter qualifies you for free entry into the $2 Art Contest.

www.ArtAndArtDeadlines.com loves Art Galleries!GALLERIES:  A note to all of the gallery directors that read this blog… If your gallery is mentioned in one of the rejection letters I receive, you will get a feature page on your gallery on this site. 

I always want to be fair, and this is my way of balancing the discouraging with the hopeful. I will take the gallery information from the gallery’s website as well as request input fromt he director.  I hope this encourages you to encourage your artists to send in their letters.  It is your opportunity to let artists know what you want.
