CALL for ENTRIES: Shades of Green

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Shades of Green exhibit from Art-competition.net and G25N!BROCCOLETTI di rapa

I have a secret love for rapini.  You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti.  People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now).  Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked.  Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green.  (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.)  Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil.  This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades.  An open theme…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Shades of Green. $25 entry & no shipping.  The media is pretty wide open too. This color theme is open to broad interpretation.  Take a look…

Fettuccine alfredo is the picture of pasta indulgence for many folks, but I have an artery-clogging love for pasta carbonara.  If you haven’t had this egg-y, cheese-y, bacon-y deliciousness, I warn you that one taste could ruin all other pasta for you.  I like a little extra cream and a few sun-dried tomatoes & fresh green peas in mine, but I’m guessing some of you didn’t need to hear anything after bacon, ha.  This next Call includes a shot at an exhibition in Rome, from hence carbonara originates.  Take a look…

My child volunteered me to make tamales for his entire Spanish class.  He then neglected to schedule being home to assist me. (Fear not; I didn’t strangle him.) I love tamales, and I love making tamales.  The smells are earthy, the masa is fluffy & husks are the perfect wrapper.  I often make the ones that are tied at each end because I prefer the masa to filling ration.  They are more common in north Mexico and Texas.  And whaddya know… this next Call also hails from Texas.  This is a prestigious opportunity for representational artists…

SWEET harvest

While my friends are dreaming of picnics awash with super-size sandwiches and fresh squeezed lemonade, I crave fruit salads.  My childhood was fulled of canned fruit cocktail, coconut & marshmallow concoctions; so my adulthood is ripe with freshness.

“For the Sake of Richness” (acrylic & fabric on panel) by Heather Robinson

“I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial.” —Heather Robinson

Four weeks left until my home, studio & storage space are cut in half.  I am trying to make the hard decisions about need versus want, necessary versus nourishing.  There is a time & place for everything, but finding those times and places is an art form all its own.  I fell in love with the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Heather Robinson, whose “Attraction” series explores some of these very themes.  I find it a comfort to know that others, both known & unknown to me, experience my thoughts & feelings & challenges as there own.  We are not alone.
