It has been a revolutionary sort of weekend.  I am struggling to figure out what to make of the adults in this world.  While I am trying not to give up on people who should KNOW better, my heart finds relief in the children that DO better.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Richard Brocken, offers a view, often of children, that is reverent and ethereal, sometimes funny or mischievous.  Entirely humane.

Detail of “Coiffe” (glass painting/photogram) by Cecile Perra

“Assise dans l’instant, armée de vieux papiers, précieux
tissus porteurs d’histoires, portraits intimes que je
transforme, mêlant familles et inconnus, j’assemble,
je couds, je peins, je gratte…” — Cecile Perra

“Seated in the moment, armed with old papers, precious fabrics carrying stories, intimate portraits that I transform, mixing families and unknown, I assemble, I sew, I paint, I scratch…”  –Cecile Perra  (Please forgive the translation.)

___

For many, December consists of meeting after meeting with collages of people.  Images and memories laid over philosophy and politics and ultimately framed as a family member.  Pieces and parts, both good & bad.  Part fiction, part reality; the difference is hard to distinguish.  The work of Cecile Perra, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, mirrors that patchwork progenitor that each of ponders across the table.

CALL for ENTRIES: Root

Learn more about the Root Exhibit from LA Photo Curator! digging DEEP

It is root vegetable season again.  It isn’t all just potatoes and carrots.  Root veggies are one of my only opportunities to have fresh food all the way through the winter.  I’ve been preaching about turnip roots for years; try them as a substitute, if only in part, for mashed potatoes.  Or celeriac is delicious.  Rutabagas are divine, albeit stinky.  How about kohlrabi?  It isn’t actually a root vegetable, but it holds just as long in cool dry temps.  They are like savory comfort foods, minus the warm cheese.  This next Call invites you to delve into YOUR roots.  Take a look…

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday.  Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week.  My groceries stewed.  It wasn’t pretty.  But, in my effort to find a silver lining, I will admit that a clean refrigerator is liberating.  Now it is slowing filling with mustard greens, pickled beets & craft beer against a stark white background.  It is a whole new energy like this new Call.  An art publication opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract 3

Learn more about "Abstract 3" from Art-competition.net!FOOD cubed

I recently attended an “abstract” dinner party.  I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into, and that made me MORE eager to attend, ha.  Upon arrival, I found that every dish was comprised of food cut in an identical manner. I couldn’t tell cubes of potato from turnip or cubes of yellow carrot from summer squash.  From appetizer to entree to dessert, it was an evening of simple foods prepared with time-consuming precision.  I was forced to savor the preparation and intent since nothing was representational of its original form.  Abstract food.  Fascinating. This next Call is all about the abstract as well.  Investigate…

“Zo ben ik steeds zoekende naar nieuwe onderwerpen,
verschillende technieken, altijd weer anders.
Soms verrassend, soms helemaal niets.” — Patricia Derks

(So I’m always looking for new subjects, different techniques, always
different.Sometimes surprising, sometimes nothing at all.)

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Patricia Derks, has a way with color that conveys more than the subject, or artist, seems to intend the view to see.  Today, “Orange Dream” said, “I see you. Me too.”  What does her work say to you?

Here today, gone tomorrow –ah, transient tomatoes.  Just last week I was lamenting how many ways I could quickly preserve the abundance of tomatoes I brought home from the farmers market.  Now?  I have a handful of tiny Romas left before I have to suffer the grocer’s sad selection of hard, hot house harlots that pass as tomatoes. This next Call wants your take on transience, physical, mental or ethereal.  Take a look…

The upcoming presidential election in the United States has many pondering how we get to a place of peace, of harmony, one with another.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mike Weber, suggests we turn to nature, specifically animals, and study their synchronicity for an example to replicate.  Harmony.
