CALL for ENTRIES: Shadows

Posted on September 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OUCH! OUCH!
OUCH!

I dislike overhead lighting, except in the kitchen. Much of my home is dimly lit; I prefer soft lamp lighting. But, my art studio and my kitchen are the exceptions. I’ve injured myself with everything from an Xacto knife to myriad of small and large chef knives. Lessons learned. Shadows are not the best place to create fine art or fine food. This next Call wants you to expose your shadows. Whatcha think?

Check out this Call to Artists for Shadows from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

REMINDER: Red

CREAM CHEESE ONLY,
hold the cake

I am not a fan of red velvet cake. Someone will be at my door any moment to evict me from the South, but I am just don’t get it. Most of the red velvets I have tasted are lightly cocoa-flavored cakes with the plastic-y overtone of excessive amounts of artificial red coloring. I wonder if beetroot can be used to color with adding the flavor of beetroot? Hmmm. Iwill be patient. Someone will come up with one I love eventually.

The intent is to showcase one work from a different featured artist every day, with the feature piece somehow tied in to something about the day – a holiday, a famous person’s birthday, an event in history, etc.

Anyone featured in the first 6 months will get priority for re-feature later once we’ve got an audience built up.” –Paula Shaughnessy, Editor

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All mediums are eligible, although she is partial to non-digital work: paint, sculpture, photography & mixed media. No religion, election stuff, nudity or language that would make her “mama blush” Everything else is fair game.

DEADLINE: On going

NOTIFICATION: No time frame

ENTRY FEE: None

AWARDS: Your work featured on Art Every Day 2 U.

I am guilty of making the occasional sauce to cover up an over-cooked piece of meat. Yes, I know that any meat that NEEDS sauce shouldn’t be served, but it happens. However, the best things to eat are usually at their prime when featured naked. The pluot is a perfect example. It is a cross between a plum and an apricot. They are the blood orange of the plum world according to my hubby and best served nekkid. This next call also wants to see the naked truth of it all. Investigate…

CHIPPING away

My son has recently decided to try to break a Guinness World Record, but he can’t figure out which one (he’s 13). It takes all the self-control to not suggest that he make the world’s largest chocolate chip cookie.
