Learn more about the 2017 Tieton 10x10x10 from Tieton Arts and Humanities!small FOODS

Two of the most used utensils in my kitchen are ice cream scoops, and neither gets used for ice cream.  We haven’t make full pans of brownies or cornbread or cake in years.  We use those scoops to portion everything from quiche to bread in muffin tins.  With everyone on the go, we find single-serving sized foods make for fewer excuses for not taking quality food from home.  As a gallerist, I’ve found that small works often take the I-don’t-have-room objection off the table too.  This next Call wants the best of your small work.  This is a great opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tieton Arts & Humanities (Tieton, WA) for the 10 x 10 x 10 exhibit, a small works show.  This is open internationally, and the fully-illustrated, hand-bound, hardcover catalogue is a great perk! Take a look…

Learn more about the Kindred Exhibit from Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center!standout SUSTENANCE

My earliest food influences came from my grandmother & her sister Maggie.  They had such different styles.  My grandmother was all about a meat, two veggies, some form of potato, bread & dessert.  Every meal.  My great aunt Mag was all about the drama.  Her corn-on-the-cob was the best.  Her deviled eggs were the best.  Her pancakes were the best.  But everything else, apart from the star of the meal, was an after thought.  I find myself gravitating toward concentrating on one dish and forgetting the rest.  All the glory, none of the mundane. What a strategy, eh?  This next Call wants to know about your familial connections.  Take a look…

Learn more about the Color issue of F-Stop Magazine! TASTE perfection

These days most produce is waxy, cartoon-saturated perfection.  Take baby-shaped carrots.  We can’t handle carrots with their roots and imperfect skin, so now we whittle them down to miniature perfection.  The other day I picked up a head of iceberg lettuce and promptly put it back down because it was pale-colored.  I’ve been influenced too.  Colorful food is wonderful & healthy & flavorful, but perfection is unnecessary & wasteful.  This next Call is colorful, but not wasteful.  Take a look…

SWEET harvest

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads.  My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness. Most of the year I try to take in moderate amounts of sugar, but fresh, summer fruits like apples & pears, starfruit & guava, berries & melons are more than I can resist.  I’m hoping you can’t resist this next Call, which is also all about summer.  Take a look…

“For the Sake of Richness” (acrylic & fabric on panel) by Heather Robinson

“I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial.” —Heather Robinson

•

Four weeks left until my home, studio & storage space are cut in half.  I am trying to make the hard decisions about need versus want, necessary versus nourishing.  There is a time & place for everything, but finding those times and places is an art form all its own.  I fell in love with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Heather Robinson, whose “Attraction” series explores some of these very themes.  I find it a comfort to know that others, both known & unknown to me, experience my thoughts & feelings & challenges as there own.  We are not alone.
