gardens in bloom

I pursued the holy grail of dining in the Holy City recently.  My meal began on the porch of a grand Southern home in historic Charleston, SC overlooking a garden of heirloom blooms cultivated on the property.  My meal began with a hand-propagated, rare tomato varietal and a gorgeous regional wine fermented from heirloom grapes.  Even blind folded, I couldn’t have expected to be anywhere other than one of the sparkling jewel cities of the culinary culture to be experienced only in the South.  The sense of place amplifies the food experience just as the sense of place in this one-of-a-kind Southern gallery exalts every work found within.  Claim your spot now…

I am the poster child for a handful of food trends.  In fact, I often hang on to them long after they go out of fashion.  I am still annoyingly addicted to sriracha.  It shows in up in nearly all my mayo, many sauces, and I’ll dip anything in it.  You can be a poster child, or adult, for this next Call.  Here’s a chance to freely speak your mind.  Investigate…

STRAWBERRIES

Do you peel tomatoes?  I have a friend that doesn’t like “edges” on her food.  No joke.  She does the standard stuff like no crust on bread, but she also peels EVERY fruit & vegetable–strawberries, grapes, and yes, even tomatoes.  I peel kiwi, bananas & canteloupe, but some stuff really is just easier to eat.  Is it just me?  This next Call wants ALL your edges (and curves).  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Haggus Society (Los Angeles, CA) for the Edges & Curves 4 .  $12.50 is one of the lowest entry fees you’ll ever see.  The Haggus Society is a sponsor of AAAD, and I am also a member.  The theme is open; please enter & make us proud…

Edges & Curves 4

 

Challenging the myth that cutting edge art is created only by young artists, The Haggus Society & Julie Montenegro State Farm, are hosting Edges & Curves 4.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to artists age 40+

MEDIA:  2D art (no larger than 32″ x 44″) & small 3D art (no larger than 14″ x 10″ x 8″)

DEADLINE:  June 1, 2015

JUROR:  Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant who has called Los Angeles home since 1980.  Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience.  Introduced to the Apple computer in the 1980s, a love affair with digital technology was born.  Lloyd’s career has been a two-pronged path between fine & commercial arts.

In 2010, Lloyd retired from the commercial arts path to pursue a lifelong interest of fine arts.  She continues to become more active as a leader in community arts organizations and activities.  When not working in the studio, Lloyd runs The Haggus Society, a feminist art collective for women over the age of 40.

SALES:  The Haggus Society does not automatically take a commission; however, a small donation in the event of sales would be appreciated.  Please include this in your pricing.  If a work is not for sale please indicate with NFS.

*Just one other note.  I showed work in the first Edges & Curves exhibit after meeting Terri Lloyd through the Featured Artist contest.  Since then, I have found a community of creatives I love and enjoyed benefit of a solo show in L.A.  Now I am a lifetime member, AND they are lifetime sponsors of this site.  I can’t imagine not having these folks as a part of my creative life.  It is amazing what $12.50 can do.
