ARTIST of the DAY: Soteris Sam Roussi

"We All Had Lightening Rods" & "Nero Could Turn on a Dime" by Soteris Sam Roussi
“We All Had Lightening Rods” & “Nero Could Turn on a Dime” by Soteris Sam Roussi

“I have limitless problems to resolve and discoveries unimagined to uncover.” —Soteris Sam Roussi

•

Inspiration is a stranger to the one not its own.  For some it’s divine.  For some it’s academic.  For some it’s nagging & persistent.  For me, it is fleeting, absent sometimes, for months.  Then, inspiration comes bounding back in multiples faster than I can create.  But today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Soteris Sam Roussi, has limitless problems to resolve.  Someone once told me to use my anxiety as fuel; that isn’t unlike inspiration as a problem to be solved.  I like it.

Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown

“I am interested in the idea of recollection & how time & moments can feel distorted if one fails to grab hold of any memory landmark.” —Kristen Brown

•

My grandmother lived with Alzheimer’s; her mother lived with Alzheimer’s.  Every lost memory scares the wits out of me. Logically, I know that wasting my lucid years worrying about a feared eventuality of non-lucidity is just the most stupid waste of a lifetime, but some days it gets the better of me.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kristen Brown, brought me to tears.  It is that blurred perception of reality, that soft focus of memories just out of reach that she captures so well.  Thanks for the perspective.

” . . . my pieces tend to be epic in scope, using all three modes of communication to create my narrative.” — Sarah Quick

•

My days are full.  I am less busy, but more active.  I want to do everything, try everything, create everything, experience everything.  I feel like a constantly churning, epic state of movement.  It is good.  It is where I want to be, in the middle of chaos, both good & bad.  It is an experiential life.  It is shiny and new. Again. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Sarah Quick, conveys struggle on an epic scale.  We are never alone.

Sugar is sugar, right?  I don’t think so.  Fried sugar takes me to morning doughnuts in the office.  Melting powdered sugar transports me to Saturday afternoon elephant ears at the flea market.  And spun sugar, spun sugar sends me straight to the state fair standing in line on hard-packed earth waiting for my turn on the Alpine racer.  Each smell is distinct, truly, and each conjures a certain place I hold dear to my heart.  Where is your certain place?  This next Call wants to know.  Explore the possibilities…

Learn more about the Nothing Special exhibit from LA Photo Curator! FEED me

I am trying to lose weight.  Yes, again. I don’t really care about my size.  I am trying to get off some meds to make me less tied to doctors & pharmacists, less tied to one place, more able to travel.   Regular readers won’t be surprised to hear  I’m jones-ing for goat cheese & olives right now.  What ordinary item do you take for granted?  Is it the bacon on your BLT?  Or is it actually the mayo?  Is it the peanut butter on your PBJ? Or is it actually the drizzle of honey?  What I have learned is that I don’t often miss the star of the show.  I miss the little extra bits that keep meals from being plain or dry or ordinary.  This next Call wants to know about the ordinary bits that mean the world to you. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Susan Grace

"Here Kitty Kitty" (oil & charcoal on paper) by Susan Grace
“Here Kitty Kitty” (oil & charcoal on paper) by Susan Grace

“I find that I am an obsessive observer of signs but am increasingly skeptical that I perceive them in the ways intended by those who produced them.” — Susan Grace

•

I am moving my home and downsizing again.  This is the last step on the way to making my family more mobile.   I have temporarily returned to goal-specific formal secondary education, and have just met the end of residential parenting.  My world is shifting.  I look around me for comfort in the familiar, in signs and symbols that the sun will appear once again in the morning.  And, while the sun has yet to disappoint me, it is hard not to feel isolated when you interpret all the signs differently than those around you.  I feel as a stranger in a strange land, like the title of that famous sci-fi novel.  When I read the statement of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Susan Grace, I new I’d found a kindred spirit.  Read the statement, browse the work.  Maybe we aren’t strangers after all.

CALL for ENTRIES: The Art of Timelessness

Learn more about The Art of Timelessness Call from LA Photo Curator! the CLASSICS

I drove from Tennessee through Arkansas to Texas in two days this week, then immediately got on a plane from Dallas to Atlanta and then on to Charlotte.  Yes, I AM road weary.  All that traveling means a lot of restaurant and convenience foods.  I was also traveling with a teenager in tow, so the food choices weren’t always the healthiest.  By day three I was in full-on vegetable withdrawal when I tripped across a new restaurant, modern & sleek, somewhere in Arkansas whose specialty was salads.  Not deconstructed, not a self-serve buffet, not odd combinations or fusion cuisine.  Just salads –Cobb, Caesar, caprese & more.  Just the classics, timelessly delicious. This next Call is all about timelessness.  Take a look…

“As artists, one nurtures & comes to possess a visually attuned intuition. For some gaining this 2nd sight takes a lifetime of hunting and searching. Others seem to be born with this keen sense of knowing.  Most of us have experienced these timeless yet eternal essences.

CALL for ENTRIES: Shades of Green

Learn more about the Shades of Green exhibit from Art-competition.net and G25N!BROCCOLETTI di rapa

I have a secret love for rapini.  You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti.  People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now).  Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked.  Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green.  (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.)  Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil.  This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades.  An open theme…
