SWEET streets

Have you ever attended a fast food wedding? I kinda have. At a recent wedding, the bride & groom opted for an outdoor ceremony & reception. The reception was catered… by a sweet food truck featuring a custom French menu including pastries in lieu of a wedding cake. It was priceless. They met in Paris; they fell in love under a lamppost, street food in hand. Sweet & from the street, just like this next call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Water, Water Everywhere

Posted on June 6, 2016June 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

entirely DRINKABLE

I lived in the USVI for a couple of years, and my house used only cistern water. Rainfall kept the supply flowing for most of the year, but a couple of months prior to the rainy season we’d have to pay to have the cistern fill… about $500. That was 20 years ago. I try to internalize this memory every time I pay my $85 water bill. Well, that and I can actually cook with the tap water at my current home. Back then the hashtag would have been #dontlookinthebottomofcistern or #youdontwanttoknow. This next call is all about the water, and there are no restriction on the orgin of YOUR water. Investigate…

ARTIST of the DAY: Vivienne Strauss

Posted on June 1, 2016June 13, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

duck duck GOOSE

When I came home from the hospital with my bouncing baby boy so many years ago, I found a bottle of cold duck in my fridge –a gift from my mother. Not champagne. Cold Duck. This particular variety was a blend of port & champagne. I never asked her why, and I’ve never had it since. But, after a pregnancy free from alcohol for both myself and my husband, it only took a glass a piece to make us a little giddy and able to let go of the fears and stress of being a new parent, if only for an hour or so. It is a fond, silly memory that I treasure. When I came across this work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Vivienne Strauss, it put a smile on my face. The perfect complement. (continues below)

"Cold duck" (collage & embroidery on paper) by Vivienne Strauss — *“Cold duck” (collage & embroidery on paper) by Vivienne Strauss*

A self-taught painter with a background in Philosophy, Vivienne Strauss works predominately in oil and watercolor. Her paintings often migrating around the humor of being human – shared dejection, things left unsaid, false arrogance, disbelief, inspired irony. She is an observer and chronicler, in the actual world in which she exists and in the world of characters she creates, exposing, with precise wit, the subterranean elements lying in wait beneath the deceptively quotidian.

AAAD Artist of the Day, Vivienne Strauss!

up, up & TAKE AWAY

I put my kiddo on a plane, alone, bound for Texas, and as soon as he was settled into his seat, he texted me. Before even taxiing down the runway, he wanted to know how to order lunch. Ha.

ARTIST of the DAY: Kathleen M. Robison

Posted on May 31, 2016May 31, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

backward & FORWARD

Gaining perspective requires your finding your place in the present day by looking BOTH backward toward the path traveled (or not) & forward to embrace possibilities. When I came across this pair of portraits by today’s AotD, I found this idea beautifully illuminated. Ironically, Robison is primarily a plein air painter, which cannot be more rooted in the present. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kathleen M. Robison, offers a beautiful glimpse of Summer contemplation. (continues below).

"White Scarf" & "Blue Sun Dress" (plein air oil painting) by Kathleen M. Robison — *“White Scarf” & “Blue Sun Dress” (plein air oil painting) by Kathleen M. Robison*

“Painted this oil painting of a girl who was looking away into the blue sky. The bright light on the scarf drew me in, so did the movement of her hair. Her attitude that day reminded me of the ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’.” — Kathleen M. Robison

BUTTER bomb

Can someone explain margarine to me? It tastes terrible. It is chemical laden. It is approximately the same price as butter. So why?

Butter is fundamental, folks, just like drawing which is the theme of this next Call. Take a look…

THEME: “Drawing”

Taco Tuesday really exists. It may not always happen on Tuesday, but tacos remain the easiest delivery method for dinner.

Dig deep and decode the cultural viruses that live in you: show us your dank memes. –from nonfictiongallery.com

CALL for ENTRIES: Comic Relief

Posted on May 18, 2016May 18, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

baked, not BLACKENED

The burning of food is the only constant in my house. It isn’t all food, but it is always particular foods –pizza crust, croutons, toast & anything else that is just supposed to just brown on the edges. I say, “don’t burn the pizza”& Jon huffs in slight offense. Then, 10 minutes later mumbled cursing echoes through the kitchen. “Burn the pizza?” I ask. “Sorry,” he responds. Then Laughter. Every time. It happens every time. That’s what makes it funny. This next Call wants to know about your comic relief, but don’t burn the pizza. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator for the Comic Relief exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, great prizes & exposure for ALL entrants. Great opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Comic Relief
from L.A. Photo Curator

“The world is so full of stress and hardship that it seems difficult to retain a sense of balance. Often, as a photographer, one seeks out projects that are politically based, be it the environment or a statement to raise public awareness. For our collective consciousness, it seems critical that we stop and ‘smell the roses’. Based on this sentiment, the orientation of this theme is to seek out some visual levity. Everyone’s perspective is unique as is their sense of humor. These images can be choreographed or spontaneous but should convey a sense of humor. I am looking forward to sharing a good laugh (or chuckle) with everyone.” –from Mara Zalove

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 26, 2016 (Midnight PST)

EXHIBITION: June 5 – July 5, 2016

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 15% of artist fees go to the charity of the monthly curator (jewelsofyouth.org) as well as the first place winner’s charity.

CURATOR: Mara Zaslove‘s passion for photography has allowed her to express herself in a visual conversation & has interwoven her view of the world with her life experiences. Primarily, Mara’s process tends to be spontaneous. She has a curiosity about her immediate environment and expresses this by photographing subjects that capture her fascination. It can be the mundane, atypical or traditional but she seeks to document a uniqueness particular to each subject. Mara’s award winning work has been widely acknowledged including being represented by bG/BGart Gallery at Bergamot Station & Hale Arts Gallery in Santa Monica. She was a finalist in the 8th Julia Cameron Award held in Berlin in 2016 as well as having her work included in the 5th Annual Exposure Award display at the Musee du Louvre, Paris-France in 2015 as a part of the Body Collection.

SALES: All sales are conducted between the artist & buyer. L.A. Photo Curator does not handle any part of sales. There is no commission.
