real SMOOTH

I have pureed everything today.  I made black bean soufflé early in the day to go with the slaw-topped taco my husband made later.  I cooked & pureed extra beans to put up in the freezer as a soup base for next week.  Lunch was delivery pizza.  Our mid-afternoon snack was  a mango-peach-guava-banana smoothie.  While my husband made apple-pepper slaw for our tacos, I processed a half-bushel of apples for applesauce.  I have washed my food processor four times today. (Just a reminder, no dishwasher in my house.) I am trying to keep busy

I mean, I did finish framing a commission while I am waiting for THREE past-due notifications. I need mindless busy. How do venues take our money and not notify on time? Why not just under-promise? Why not five themselves and extra week then surprise us all with an early notification? Of course, my imagination and insecurities ramp up to a 14 & I begin to assume that I haven’t gotten an email because I have been rejected, or,  that I was so bad that I didn’t warrant a response. When left with too much time to dwell on it, I start to become paranoid like an 1990s sitcom and wonder if my phone is working or if email is out-of-order. Ridiculous. So, soufflé, soup, smoothie & applesauce.  Noisy. Delicious. Busy. 

This next Call is screaming my name.  I’ve not been interested in a lot of galleries lately because I am looking to build a very specific profile for my resume.  I am trying to patiently wait for the academic & publicly funded shows I really want.  But I am digging this space.  There are a number of great art hot spots in New Mexico, like Satan Fe.  In fact, New Mexico is on my new short list of relocation possibilities.  This gallery supports a reassuringly diverse art aesthetic and range of media.  I like the unapologetic nature of this Call too.  I’m hoping to get my crap together & enter.  Let me know how it sounds to YOU.

Check out this Call for Entries from Keep Contemporary (Santa Fe, NM) for New Contemporary.  This is a great looking venue that also includes “….artists who have a limited voice in an otherwise conservative art market”.   I want to show here; how about you?
