CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life II

Posted on June 25, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

make mine a
DOUBLE

Do you know what is better than fresh, local fruits & vegetables? Twice as many fresh local fruits & vegetables. Have you heard about a program that is slowly spreading throughout farmers’ markets & co-ops in the U.S. called Double Bucks? It seems just about right that it would be folks dedicated to fresh food that would figure out how to get it into the hands of people who need it–affordably. Double the veggies might be the only thing better than the doubled cash prizes in this next Call. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Still Life II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Earth

Posted on June 8, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

CUKES
for cubs?

In our continuing efforts to downsize in preparation for “tiny living”, I downsized myself out of garden space. We moved back to our previous 2-acre, mountain-top abode, but anything other than container gardening is impossible with out a major terracing project to provide flat space on the side of the mountain. So, we’re going to attempt to grow a few squash & cucumbers on the deck using the railings as support. But, considering the fact that my dog has tree’d several black bears during the past two-weeks. Am I simply creating a buffet dinner on my porch? Nature. Hmm. This next Call wants to know your perspective. Take a look…

CHEESE
dog

As I get older, my tastes skew toward whole foods with a higher fat content–nuts, cheese, olives. Yum. My dog is newly enamored with cheddar cheese and almonds too. She recognizes the crackle of the almond bag from the other side of the house, ha. We try to maintain enough self-restraint to limit her people food to minimum, but it is hard to say “no” to that sweet face. This next Call wants your work depicting your pet family.

Posted on May 20, 2015May 20, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

TOMATOES & GRAPES
gardens in bloom

I pursued the holy grail of dining in the Holy City recently. My meal began on the porch of a grand Southern home in historic Charleston, SC overlooking a garden of heirloom blooms cultivated on the property. My meal began with a hand-propagated, rare tomato varietal and a gorgeous regional wine fermented from heirloom grapes. Even blind folded, I couldn’t have expected to be anywhere other than one of the sparkling jewel cities of the culinary culture to be experienced only in the South. The sense of place amplifies the food experience just as the sense of place in this one-of-a-kind Southern gallery exalts every work found within. Claim your spot now…

More and more people are farming. There may be fewer commercial farms, but I find that more and more people are taking the time to grow something. Not everything; just something. This image (left) is from the Facebook feed of a friend of mine in the suburbs of Charleston, WV who is sprouting garlic for container gardening on his back patio. He planted tomato seedlings in between the sprouted cloves. It isn’t a huge endeavor, but he’ll have the best salsa of anyone in his neighborhood this summer. LOVE.

TWO EGGS

So, I eat a lot of Waffle House food. My husband & I are regionally-touring musicians. As a result, we often need food at 2am, and Waffle House is the ever-available option–here’s one of a million Waffle House selfies we’ve taken. (I think they should sponsor us, but no replies yet, ha.) We don’t tour in the Atlanta area currently, so one Waffle House has remained elusive–Underground Atlanta. We’ll make it Underground eventually. In the meantime, here’s YOUR chance to go underground, minus the fried eggs. Take a look…

LOBSTER
and peanuts

Most people associate Georgia with peaches, or maybe peanuts (thanks to Jimmy Carter), but I always think of barbeque ribs or creamy lobster bisque. Random, I know. I grew up in a suburb of Atlanta as a young girl, and barbeque ribs were a standard at least one night a week during the summer. Once a teenager, I made treks to Savannah with my mother to have table-side Caesar salad and lobster bisque from our favorite restaurant. I suppose every person’s food story is a unique work of non-fiction. This next Call is your non-fiction opportunity to tell your own solo story. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Your Art Here. $35 fee & 35% commission. Here is a great chance for a solo show of your own. Take a minute to investigate…
