don’t be
BLUE
I survived another holiday without eating blue food. Why do people eat the blue food? Blue iced cookies & cakes are everywhere this time of year, so I am going to say this again… step away from the blue food. The closest thing to naturally occurring blue food is squid ink. Eat all the squid ink your heart desires, but please stop buying blue Jell-o, Koolaid, popsicles & icing. You’re only encouraging them. If you need to experience ALL the colors of the rainbow (including blue), try this next Call instead. Take a look…
Check out this Call for Entries from the R. Dixon Gallery (Seneca Falls, NY) for Color: vivid, vibrant & vital. Great space, good juror, low commission. We know you will make us proud…

Color
“I think the way we perceive color is our sixth sense. I can taste lemon yellow. I can feel the inherent nobility in imperial purple. A pop of color? Too tame …during this exhibit, the gallery walls will come alive with explosions of color! As an artist, you likely have a special relationship with color. Are your colors complementary or diametrically opposed? It’s a question that we’re looking forward to seeing how you answer.” –from rdixongallery.com
