CALL for ENTRIES: Water

Posted on October 8, 2014October 8, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

WATER
from above or below?

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…

CALL for ENTRIES:
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

CAKE,
carrots & all…

Do you know what you call a spice cupcake without the cream cheese frosting? A breakfast muffin. My husband is dubious, but I say the notions of breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner foods are abstract at best. Why must it be eggs for breakfast? And how much difference is there between banana bread and carrot cake, really? Mmmhmm. This next Call is looking for the abstract, and they DON’T mean carrot cake OR banana bread. Take a look…

It is in our own time that we have become aware of pure aesthetic considerations.
Art never can be imitation.” — Hans Hofmann

ARTIST to LOVE: Megan Elizabeth

Posted on July 23, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

Peek-a-Boo, We See You!

Say “Hello” to our newest Artist to Love…

Megan Elizabeth
Acrylic, Ink & Spraypaint

Jellies
Painting

The work of MEGAN ELIZABETH reflects an attitude of experimentation, analysis of the elements of accident & a curiosity regarding the beauty created by the transparency & overlapping of ideas. Washes in the paintings, elements of spontaneity & use of collage are fundamental in many of my works. My inspiration comes from waterscapes, sunsets, bright colors in nature & the silhouettes created by extreme light or darkness. Much of my work has been derived from experiences living in Spain, travels in the Caribbean and in Europe & growing up on the east coast of the US.

FAVORITE FOOD: Chocolate

the
TROUT
trick

Fresh fish is so close I can almost taste it. No really, my husband literally goes around the corner to fish for brook trout that my municipality stocks the local river with from the government-run hatchery to ensure tourists can fish. You can’t make up a story like that. Well, yes, you can, but I didn’t; I swear. No lake trip necessary. But a trip to the sea would make for great inspiration for this next Call. Here’s another opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Everyday Objects

Posted on June 19, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

FLIP IT
over

The offset spatula is my favorite cooking gadget. I get asked all the time, and I suspect my answer is never what they expect. A fancy food processor or expensive hand-forged knife would probably be more standard answer, but I love the offset spatula. Personally, I prefer the 9″ offset spatula by Wilton (meant for cake icing). I use mine to both to apply gel medium to canvas when making artwork and to flip grilled eggplant for my eggplant lasagna –with a thorough wash in between. Sometimes it is the everyday object that means the most. This next Call wants your perspective of the everyday object. Everyone can work with this theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from Unframed (online) for Everyday Objects. $15 entry! And please don’t forget to research your curator. Take a look…

PLUM
crazy

Nectarines, peaches & plums are back in season, and I am so excited. The peaches and nectarines aren’t quite ripe, but I like fruit a little under-ripe. Weird, I know. But the plums are divine and perfect and beautiful all by them selves. I don’t have plums AND anything. Just plums. Art exhibits, like plums, are fantastic all on their own. This next Call gives you the opportunity to show all on your own. Take a look…

ALL YOLKING
aside

Your mayonnaise is a great judge of character. No, really, I haven’t lost my mind. If you’re not vegan, and you hate mayonnaise, it is probably because you’ve never had anything but the homogenized, bland, store-bought variety. Real mayonnaise, if fresh, is made of three simple ingredients: egg yolks, oil & acid. I prefer farm-fresh eggs, olive oil and lemon. The are hundreds of combinations each with their own quirks and complexities. Mayo-making is an foodie’s artisan craft, and this next Call is a celebration of fine craft from basketry to furniture and everything in between. Take a look…

CHOCOLATE

CALL for ENTRIES: Spring Showcase

Posted on April 6, 2014April 6, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

’tis the
SEASON

It is ramp season in the Smoky Mountains. I am thrilled to have a locally-grown, fresh vegetable of any sort after the winter of snow & ice we just endured–even if it gives us all dragon breath. If you aren’t familiar, ramps are spring onions with a strong garlic smell and onion flavor. They are called “spring leeks” elsewhere. We’re using them in salads, soups, casseroles and atop nearly every dish consumed in my house right now. You name it, we’re finding a way to eat them. Another sign of Spring is this next Call. Maybe this one is for you…

JUROR: Tim Deibler has had a life-long passion for art. After studying with many of the local artists during high school, he chose to go to the Art Institute of Colorado. After graduating, he worked in the commercial art & video production fields until going full time as a fine artist in 1992. He has won 5 Awards of Excellence at the OPA’s National Juried Show.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Deibler’s passion for landscapes, mountains in particular began after seeing the 1956 movie The Mountain as a young boy.

“Every time I look out the window or walk outside I’m in the mountains, making it much easier for me to observe the constant moods and nuances of nature. My goal is to portray what I’m experiencing in nature, I want the viewer of my work to say ‘I’d like to be there’.”--Tim Deibler

AWARDS: $3,000 for 1st place, $1,500 for 2nd place & $500 for 3rd place along with 10 honorable mentions

RED, WHITE
and bleu

I’ve been craving crêpes with fresh strawberries and vanilla creme for a week. As much as I love French food, my patience for cooking is limited these days, and crêpe-making challenges the patience of most. But, since strawberries that actually smell like strawberries are starting to show up at the market, I am going to try to distract my crêpe-craving taste buds with fresh strawberries. Wish me luck. In the meantime, I imagine the jurors for this next show are casually eating crepes during the curation of this show. Take a look…
