I am queen of menu planning.  Every once in a while I decide to off planning for just winging it.  Well, that never lasts.  Now that we are planning for a farm of our own, I am considering the idea of buying protein for the entire year from a local rancher–like a whole cow.  The challenge would be to space out the protein so we are not forced to eat eggs only for the last 3 months of the year.  I suspect it will end in a lessened consumption of meat, but we’ll see.  This next Call is not unlike menu planning for a year at the time.  Please DO NOT MISS this chance…

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm.  We’re excited.  We are hoping to move early 2017.  We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer.  Then there’s the issue of water.  I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation.  And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property.  So my options are well water or cistern water.  Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions.  This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life.  I’m thirsty…

Water

 

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME:  Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth.  It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy.  It is necessary for our survival.  It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied.  All life on earth is connected by the need for water.  Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

“I have always believed in establishing the sky tone, in general, as soon as possible. In sea painting the rest depends upon it because of the element of reflection.” — Frederick Waugh

I’ve become a casual fan of Naked & Afraid (the TV show).  When flipping through the channels, I keep tripping across the reruns.  For those of you non-watchers.  Two people (1 man, 1 woman) that have never met who are dropped in a remote location for 21 days with nothing–not even clothes.
