The low temp was 14°F at my house last night; my Seattle friends think I’m a wimp.  They can think what they want.  I will be sipping from an umbrella-topped glass, if only in my head.  This next Call is my current co-conspirator.  Escape with me…

Events have left me at home alone for lunch most days lately.  I’m not good at eating alone.  I’ll adjust eventually, but for now it is bananas & peanut butter or pasta with butter & parm.  I don’t do food solo easily, but art is a much easier solo option.  This next Call is a great outlet for solo work.  Plus, it comes with a little bit of budget.

Recipes are sort of like guide books for me.  I have no interest in doing exactly what they say, but they are a great jumping-off point.  There are exceptions, thousands of them.  See “baking”.  Baking is a science.  Baklava, croissant, sourdough, layer cakes–making them is either complicated or at the very least time-consuming, but the pay off is HUGE.  This next Call is like that.  There are a LOT of details, so read the prospectus in full, but the pay of is huge.  First prize is $120,000, and it isn’t limited to representational work.  Take a look at this one…

Sleep is not my friend.  As a lifelong insomniac, and I have tried EVERY remedy –prescription, herbal, oils, sounds, aroma.  Lack of sleep promotes depression. For me, depression often takes the form of extended weeks or months of “the blues” marked by an remarkable lethargy and a sort of emotional paralysis.  It is more common in winter, so I am actively combating insomnia every February.  This year, I am having moderate success by not snacking late at night (my apologies to the massive hit sustained by the popcorn industry) & getting half an hour of moderate exercise each morning.  Creativity is the ultimate therapy & this next Call is a great chance to work out some pent up “blues”.  Investigate….

“Coordinated Drift” (digital collage, 61 layers) by Liz Ruest

“In the desire to find the new, do we also mourn the old,
the left-behind places?” —Liz Ruest

___

For years I have been trying to find the balance between the whirlwind of excitement that comes with every new milestone in my job with the desire to be still and quiet and ponder.  For me it is the balance between ‘busy’ and ‘creative’.  As grateful as I am to have the opportunity to work a non-traditional job as a performing artist, I miss the creative freedom to produce all of the visual work that consumes my quieter hours.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Liz Ruest, captures that struggle for me.  Can we move forward while looking backward?
