CALL for ENTRIES: River Walk Int’l

Posted on November 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

BERRY
jealous

Did you know that the chokecherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and thimbleberry (pictured left) ALL grow wild in Minnesota? I could use some wild berries about now. My grocery store is getting to that point in the season that only citrus fruit has any taste and you’re best to stay clear of the seemingly gold-plated (based on the price), tasteless berries. This next Call hails from Minnesota, home of my current berry-envy. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from River Walk Artists (East Grand Forks, MN) for their 1st Annual International Juried Exhibition. The entry fee is low, the commission rate is even lower. And I don’t know about you, but I like involved in “firsts”. Give it a try…

CALL for ENTRIES: Octagon Center

Posted on November 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TOUCHDOWN!

To my knowledge, there are no octagon shaped foods–unless you count chocolates that come in an octagon shaped box. However, there are definitely seven-sided foods. Tourné potatoes were a rival to my sanity in cooking school. Two inches long with seven perfectly rounded sides. We weren’t allowed to blunt the ends. They had to be perfectly pointed little oblong taters–nearly football shaped. It still causes me physical pain to even think about them. But they were beautiful. Let’s stick with the octagon, though, like the one in this next Call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Style & Fashion

Posted on November 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

GREEK
to me

Greek yogurt is clearly the fashionable food of the year. We prefer Stonyfield Farm Organic. I love it, but I am really tired of the commercials. On my last grocery trip, I saw a new brand of hummus that said “Now with Greek Yogurt.” Really? Putting yogurt in hummus is like putting mayo in guacamole; just say no. This next Call is about all that is stylish and fashionable. Don’t miss this opportunity…

HOME GROWN

I believe in buying locally grown food. I’d like to say my motivating factor is green; however, truth-be-told, it just tastes better. Something that travels 50 miles to my table is just going to be fresher than something that travels 500 or even 5000 miles to my table. This next Call is local FOR ME, but it is a great opportunity for some of you as well…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion

Posted on October 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

CHEESY
love

I am emotionally attached to goat cheese. I recognize how very irrational that is, but the fact remains that “I love goat cheese.” I dream about it. Eating herb-crusted goat cheese on freshly-backed foccacia with a few capers is the height of emotional eating for me. It can take away almost ANY bad day. No joke. Luckily, my bad days are not too frequent, ha. This next Call wants to know about your Emotional quirks. Don’t miss this chance…

CALL for ENTRIES: Hit the Road

Posted on September 20, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

WHY DID the CHICKEN
cross the road?

The best part of hitting the open road is, of course, the FOOD. My practice is to spend a little time surveying the locals of where we are about the best place to eat. Inevitably, I get a significant number of people that refer me to the same place. And it always ends up being “the best breakfast” or “the best burger” in town. Getting eggs right isn’t easy, folks, and I always appreciate a good reference. This next Call is all about hitting the road. Investigate for yourself…

CALL for ENTRIES: Shadows

Posted on September 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OUCH! OUCH!
OUCH!

I dislike overhead lighting, except in the kitchen. Much of my home is dimly lit; I prefer soft lamp lighting. But, my art studio and my kitchen are the exceptions. I’ve injured myself with everything from an Xacto knife to myriad of small and large chef knives. Lessons learned. Shadows are not the best place to create fine art or fine food. This next Call wants you to expose your shadows. Whatcha think?

CALL for ENTRIES:
Shadows

As Joni Mitchell said, “Every picture has it’s shadows, and it has some source of light. Blindness, blindness and sight.”

Some see light and some see shadow.

Some see contrasts.

Some see the darkness.

What exists in the shadows? What do you see? Submit your best art with shadows for this future exhibition.

OPEN CALL: Flow 2013

Posted on August 28, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

A Season for…
everything

There are monthly featured foods at my house. Last month is was asparagus ($1.99/lb). This month it appears to be broccoli (2 double crowns for $3). We’re heading toward Autumn, and I’ll be eating $1 butternut squash for at least 2 months. It is all about eating what’s in season. It is cheaper, healthier, and yummier. Think of it as a seasonal treat. This next Call is all about the upcoming season, and it’s a treat too! Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Naked Truth

Posted on August 27, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PLUM
nekkid

I am guilty of making the occasional sauce to cover up an over-cooked piece of meat. Yes, I know that any meat that NEEDS sauce shouldn’t be served, but it happens. However, the best things to eat are usually at their prime when featured naked. The pluot is a perfect example. It is a cross between a plum and an apricot. They are the blood orange of the plum world according to my hubby and best served nekkid. This next call also wants to see the naked truth of it all. Investigate…

Check out this Call to Artists for The Naked Truth from the Linus Galleries (California). The media for this show is a cool mixture, and this could be a cool online opportunity for you. Take a look…

LOBSTER-fied

I am intrigued by how menu items get there names. Wouldn’t restaurants have it easier if they could just put “Mc” in front of any item and make it a hot ticket? It works for the golden arches. Did you know that some locations actually sell the “McLobster sandwich”? Really? Google it. This next call has little to do with naming things except for their name, but check it out anyway…
