It is the first day of Fall, and I am still nursing my garlic chives from Spring.  I received a gift of a 6″ starter of garlic chives from a farmers market vendor.  And, instead of re-potting, I just sat it in a dish in my window sill and kept clipping and watering.  Miraculously, it is still here –testament to an excellent offering from an excellent farmer.  This next Call is excellent.  Trust me, you won’t regret sending a proposal. I promise.

Food needs better PR.  There are laws against trans fats, but I have trouble convincing my mother that ginger will settle her stomach.  Why are we willing to believe the worst about food but eager to assume all benefits are purely science fiction?  Natural healing is not science fiction, but the next Call definitely is.  Traditional media only…

CALL for ENTRIES: Altered State

Learn more about the Altered States of Collage exhibit from the Collage Artists of America!INGREDIENTS a-go-go

It is casserole week at my house.  Every once in a while we spend a day assembling casseroles.  I don’t know why people consider them “easy” meals because they take excessive amounts of time, prep and organization, but I do find them convenient to have around once they are pre-prepared on a week I need free time at the end of the day.  Plus, when we have a bevy of rapidly ripening food from our local farmers market, casseroles offer an excellent long-term storage option via the freezer.  But the best part of making casseroles are the ingredients.  Like many of you, I am guilty of getting into a rut of one protein and two vegetable for meals; however, casseroles are a collage of sometimes a dozen or more ingredients.  The combination of ingredients makes for a special treat –like this next collage call.  Don’t miss this one…

Learn more about the Bring us your Dead exhibit from Las Laguna Gallery!shared TREATS

My Aunt Maggie B. loved marzipan. We would attempt to craft our own from honey, powdered sugar and finely ground almonds & foregoing the additional almond extract.  The year I spent with her trying to form our Play-Doh-like lumps into little fruit and vegetable shapes taught me that food color can be derived from real food, not just a jar, that gold and silver are edible in small amounts, and that treats well-labored taste better.  I celebrate the making & eating of every marzipan fruit with my great aunt Mag (RIP, 1922-2005).  This Call is a chance for you to celebrate life with someone who has already passed.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Nature Exhibit from art-competition.net!freckled FRUITAGE

Food imagery IS the visual brand of this site.  For years, I used primarily pristine images of perfect foods on crisp, white, burned out backgrounds. But in the past couple of years, my strategy has changed. I have concerns about how many people, children specifically, don’t know what natural produce looks like.  I’ve had many cashiers at the grocer offer to let me trade in a piece of organic fruit for something waxed, dyed & shiny for fear I was buying “bad” produce. Nature doesn’t care about symmetry, saturation or uniformity.  This next Call wants your take on nature.  Open to broad interpretation…

Parsnips make me itchy.  My family eats copious amount of root vegetables –carrots and turnips and beets.  But the carrot’s paler cousin makes me feel like I have rolled in fiberglass insulation.  Parsnips are easy to cultivate & fetch a higher price than carrots at local farmers markets.  I have a friend that grows them because she never has any waste.  They last forever, but even if they start to get overripe, they are a favorite treat of her retired work horse.   This next Call is interested in your equine imagery, and they promise not to make you eat parsnips.  This is a lovely theme…

“Humankind owes an enormous amount of gratitude to the horse. Domestication of the horse provided humans with mobility, survival and pleasure. Yet today, horses are facing a daunting challenge.

This dilemma is not going away. It is a problem that needs to be addressed through action.” –from studiocgalleryla.com
