pretty PROVISIONS

Design impacts my food choices.  Bad or excessive packaging will decrease the chances that I will try a processed food.  And what’s with fruit like apples and oranges in individually wrapped packages?  Don’t they already have their own packaging?  I recently discovered that I am not the only one that chooses wine, at least in part, based on the label design.  It is okay; you can admit it too.  Design is a huge part of the impact of this art magazine.  I love this publication.  Maybe you will too…

I acquire things in threes & fives.  I’m partial to the odd, regardless of the source.  My mother likes the evens.  I have three wasabi turtles; she has a favorite pair of berry bowls.  I have five sets of chopsticks; she has pair of porcelain egg cups.  My collecting has been purposefully curbed due to a conscious decision to own less, but “three” is still a set for me.  This next Call offers a $300 prize & the possibility of becoming part of collection.  This one is quarterly…

ARTIST of the DAY: Peter Bragino

"Current of the Soul" (acrylic, marker & water pigment) by Peter Bragino
“Current of the Soul” (acrylic, marker & water pigment) by Peter Bragino

“It’s a gift of the intuition that helped me know from a very early age what I would do in life. It’s the first time I fully recognized my soul. That’s why the inner connection to self is so important to me and why my work focuses on celebrating and shining a light on that relationship. I believe everyone has the ability and the right to connect in that way with their own inner knowing. I believe that all personal wisdom and true direction comes from that connection.” — Peter Bragino

___

Wading through this year’s schedule of exciting trips and new adventures has also left me mourning a loss of creative time.  But I make the schedule.  Do I over-schedule so I have a way to excuse lower production.  Is it self sabotage?  Is it a lack of inner connection to my creative self?  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Peter Bragino, reminds me that the ability to connect lies in all of us, but the will must be our own.

I ate a lot of parking lot food this week.  I have been on the road the entire year so far, and it snowed every single day of my travels.  The roads were mostly clear, but the parking lots were a different story.  So, if the grocery was clearer than the diner, they made my lunch choice takeout salad bars over greasy-spoon burgers.  If the hotel’s lot hadn’t been plowed yet, it was microwaveable oatmeal instead of the local waffle purveyor.  Parking lot food, like parking lot art, can do an artist/body good.  This next Call from a parking authority is a perfect example. Great call…

Learn more about the Below Zero exhibit from LibertyTown Arts! beware the ICE

I lamented to a friend about my having to buy frozen dinners to supplement my child’s homemade options due to scheduling conflicts, and that session of whining spun off into a whole other discussion about why we quit calling them “TV dinners”.  My friend optimistically believes it is because people, generally speaking eat in front of the TV less often.  However, I suspect it is because we eat FROZEN meals far more commonly than just in front of the TV.  I am grateful there are some better options out there. So, if you’re standing at a counter, fork in hand, eating a frozen dinner & scrolling art deadlines on your phone, use it as inspiration to consider all thing frozen for this call.  Take a look…
