CALL for ENTRIES: Big Money

Posted on August 20, 2018August 21, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

FRUITY dollars

What food can you buy for one U.S. dollar? The answer is “it depends on where you are”. Where I live, one dollar will buy you nearly 2lbs of bananas, canned beans (even organic), dried beans, yogurt & one or pieces of a lot of tree fruits like apples, oranges or pears. Make your own healthy dollar menu. This next Call has another suggestion for how to use a one dollar bill. Challenge accepted.

Check out this Call for Entries from the JF Gallery (West Palm Beach, FL) for the Big Money exhibit, featuring work on actual dollar bills. JF Gallery would like to make this a yearly show, so send them your best. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Embracing our Differences 2019

Posted on August 18, 2018August 23, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

hold the SHRIMP

The people with whom I eat most often have lots of food allergies –milk, shellfish, wheat. So how does a food co-exist with food allergies? The secret is parallel thinking. For example, I need to make chili paste for Thai dishes, but my husband is deathly allergic to shellfish. Who might love Thai food, but naturally wouldn’t eat shrimp? Vegetarians. Vegetarian chili paste is made with shiitake mushrooms as the substitute for shrimp. Problem solved. This next Call is about coexistence, diversity & inclusion on a much larger scale. Take a look…

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win. In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish. I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche. The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well. Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts. This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: A Show of Heads 2018

Posted on July 27, 2018July 26, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

brain FOOD

There are lots of foods I eat that give others pause. There are lots of foods that I have tried once but will never consume again. Then there are foods that make no sense to me, at all. When I was in college, my favorite 24 hour diner was legendary. It had been open since the 1930s, and because it was located just steps from the state capitol, the stories that built its reputation were also legendary. The menu was populated with standard fare like over-easy eggs and BLTs, but among the meat options included were souse, head cheese & calf brains. Really? Did any of those things come in such high demand that they warranted permanent menu status? *shudder* I’ll keep my brain associations within my own head, thank-you-very-much. Speaking of heads, take a look…

SWEET squared

When is the last time you saw a sugar cube in a restaurant? Me neither. Maybe I’m going to the wrong restaurants, ha. Did you know that before the Victorian-era sense of order gave us manageable single-serving size cubes of sugar, there was a person whose job it was to nip sugar into less large chunks than the cone-shaped loaf you brought home from your grocer. This next Call is all about the cube or the square or smaller. Take a look…

For most of my life I felt I had a good handle on people as a species –essentially good & well-intentioned but deeply flawed. But the past few years have opened my eyes to my own bias & rocked my faith in good intentions. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gabrielle Shannon, reminds me that the world is bigger than ourselves, bigger than our experience. Check our her full statement!

I have broken my addiction to photographing my food in public. I’ve eaten more that a few meals that were cooler than necessary for the sake a pretty shot. Embarassing? Yes.

pushups POPS

I remember chasing the ice cream truck and cycling away, post chase, peeling the paper away from my treasure with both hands and trying not to crash into a parked car or a jay-walking pedestrian. In my current neighborhood, the roads are only two lanes, the tourist traffic is crazy, and there aren’t any kids on bicycles –or ice cream trucks. I wonder if I can still ride. Hmmm. This next call is all about the bicycle or cycling. I love the memories this theme conjures…
