electronic EATS

I spent another week eating & working on the road. I am a grazer, always snacking on something whether I am home or on the road. Most of my work gets done in a hotel room or in the car during night drives, but this week I spent hours in a coffee shop. Ewwww. The yuck didn’t come from the coffee or the fantastic lunch I had. It came from my laptop. Gross. Who do I call to decontaminate my work space? The fluorescent lighting in the coffee shop highlighted every crumb, splotch & speck. This next Call wants your view on technology & nature (not necessarily food). Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Black Bar Gallery (Boise, ID) for Technology & Nature. $20 entry for this art publication opportunity. This is a cool opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Trees 2016

Posted on June 15, 2016June 15, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

NUTS for one & all

Last Fall the local acorn crop failed, along with most of the hard mast. As a result, black bears suffered along with the deer, squirrels & jays; it is a primary food source in the Smokies. The bears were so hungry last year, more than 50 of them ended up at our local rescue. I am hopeful for this year’s crop. Every squirrel, chipmunk & jay that has crossed my path has done so with a green acorn in its mouth, or so it seems. Fingers crossed the trees don’t let all the little critters down this year. This next Call is also all about the trees. I like this one…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Trees 2016
from NYC4PA

–

“Trees are essential to the lifeblood of the world. Roots hold the soil so erosion is mitigated. They are home to birds, squirrels and many other of nature’s creatures. They bear fruit and in the fall the colors enhance our lives. Trees can also be looming, ominous, and, in cases of stormy weather, dangerous. They are integral to forests and jungles. They stand alone on a hillside creating lovely shadows; shade a child on a hot day; are sturdy posts to tie up the pet dog, hold a hammock off the ground. Remember the lost art of the backyard laundry line. Send us your images of trees as you experience them – forests, single trees, branches, roots.” –NYC4PA.com

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Open to any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.)

THEME: Trees

DEADLINE: June 19, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $35 for up to 3, $10 ea. add’l

what a peach APRICOT

I often feel indignant about crap people are willing to eat. Yes, it’s a little judge-y. But, there are so many people worldwide without the access to healthy food, so I find myself impatient when people take it for granted. But, I digress. My husband recently enjoyed making fun of the newly-acquired fact that the only apricots I have ever eaten have been dried or a part of a sauce or jam. My husband insisted we buy a fresh apricot, and, apparently, it is on the menu as a part of my breakfast in the morning. I’m not opposed; it just hasn’t ever been a thing. There is a first for everything, right? This Call is a first for this brand new gallery. Investigate this artist-run space…

GREEN gold

I grow basil in most of the window sills in my home for just one purpose –making homemade pesto. I can’t grow much outdoors due to the bears and turkey and wild pigs (no, really). So, my windowsills stay full. I haven’t reaped much yet this year, and my stash of pesto is gone. Sad. But as I was excavating my freezer to avoid going to the grocery before dinner, I found a lone artifact– a bag of frozen basil large enough for a side dish. This next Call is interested in YOUR artifacts. Take a look…
