FISH

It is time for fresh fish again, right? The sun was shining so brightly yesterday, that I had this overwhelming desire to lie in the grass in the sun with a fishing line tied to my big toe…and wait.

majesty

I’m craving purple potatoes. Potatoes have become scarce in my house lately. Paranoid about my family’s long history of diabetes, we are trying to limit our starch intake to see if my current symptoms can be controlled through diet. Because we already cut out gluten, I don’t really miss bread. We’ve never consumed a lot of rice & prefer spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles to pasta. But oh how I miss the potatoes– the beautiful, majestic purple ones particularly. I’m sneaking them in as the crust for quiche & pot pies, but the chips & fries & mash are all gone. I have to reserve all things majestic for this next call. Love this one…

PICK ME

Not every weed is to be plucked and discarded. Hopefully no one is spraying chemicals on their garden--either to fertilize OR remove pests; however, I DO want to encourage you to remember that not every weed needs to be removed either. Chickweed is a perfect example. If you’re lucky enough to have it sprout in your garden, don’t weed it…eat it. And you don’t have plant a garden in an open field to find this gem; it even grows in the cracks of sidewalks. No really. This next Call DOES, however, make use of an open field. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Impromptu

Posted on April 5, 2014 by R.L. Gibson

MENU,
s’il vous plait

I have weekly menus for breakfasts, lunches & dinners. I tried being spontaneous by buying pieces & parts in the right amounts & putting it together on the fly. But, I only made it one summer. I have learned if I don’t make a plan & do the prep each morning, we end up eating lazy. That means pizza or wings or burgers, and that’s not always the best choice–even homemade. For now, I’ll keep my impromptu moments out of my kitchen and leave them to my art. How about you?

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Impromptu. Low entry ($24) & free matting & framing. Love this theme…

*Editor’s Note: Please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. I have a soft spot for this gallery, and I want them to know they have our support…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Impromptu

To capture in an instant, an unexpected scene, the unscripted interaction, serendipitous magic in a single shot.

The medium of photography skillfully lends itself to chance. In certain instances the medium is defined by how rapidly a single shot can be fired and, in turn, art created.

Just as an improv actor steps onto the stage without any thoughts or goals is his/her head we are looking for the images you took off the cuff that the very telling, thoughtful and insightful ones. Photographs that succeed because they aren’t staged. Work that encapsulates a plot line, a “scene of crime” or unique character-driven exchange.

These haphazard interpretations of reality can be monumentally powerful, humorous, heart-rending or sublime. A moment, frozen forever through the lens of our cameras.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists 18+

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: May 14, 2014

NOTIFICATION: May 20, 2014

ENTRY FEE: Up to 4 for $24 US for on-line & $29 by email

QUANTITIES

I’ve learned not to limit myself with numbers. One protein, 1 starch, 1 veggie is simply an outline, not a rule. Ask Baskin Robbins®–they once thought 31 flavors was the end all be all. Heinz® used to boast 57 varieties; they now have over 5,700. This next Call is number 58, and I’m confident it won’t be the last. Take a look…

PIE

We’re only a few weeks out from the Kentucky Derby. And while I am not an avid follower of horse racing, I’ll take any excuse to eat Derby Pie. Kentucky is famous for originating a lot of foods, actually. The Hot Brown and Mutton BBQ are just a tiny corner of the paddock. This next Call is from Paducah (Kentucky), a 3 hours drive from Louisville (the home of the Derby), but I’m betting I can still get Derby Pie there. Don’t miss this great show opportunity…

Can we dine outdoors again yet? There is just something about having the sun beating down on your back while eating my favorite picnic food–grilled veggies with goat cheese and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. But, it’s a no go for another week or two I suspect. It’s no fun if I have to wear a sweater. This next Call is all about the outdoors as well, but don’t assume it is just a sculpture Call. Remember to stretch your skills…

I am running out of time to find a place to plant a garden. When I moved to a smaller home while we searched for a new home or property to build on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to plant here. So, I may have to resort to a window garden and a few containers this year. I could live with mostly herbs and lettuce as long a my husband could coax tomatoes out of the containers. Tomatoes hate me; don’t ask. Vegetables are my interpretation of a garden. This next Call wants your interpretation of a garden. Don’t dismiss this one without investigating…

FRIENDLY FRUIT

Grocery shopping is often a small world experience for me. I’ll be thinking of having teriyaki wings, and my husband will come home with the chicken. Or, I’ll be dreaming of pineapple-infused rice for my salmon, and my stop at the grocery store with produce a beautifully ripe pineapple that just happens to be on sale. I’m just lucky that way, I suppose. Just the other day, I was thinking of a couple of pieces I saw in someone’s personal art collection, and what do you know–the juror pops up in this call. It’s a small world…

Wouldn’t consumption without worry be lovely? I have problems with portion control. I could eat POUNDS of goat cheese, DOZENS of cookies, and GALLONS of ice cream.
