CALL for ENTRIES: Las Laguna Aqueous 2019

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the 2019 Aqueous from Las Laguna Gallery!

open up & say A-GUA

I quit smoking six and a half years ago.  I entirely expected to be able to better taste food.  What I didn’t expect was my sense of smell to like a blood hound.  My hearing also wildly improved, but my family believes the timing is just a ridiculous coincidence.  My sense of smell, while appreciated, has consequences.  The trash has to go out more often.  I can smell a soft spot in a potato in dry storage or an overly ripe banana all the way in my bedroom the minute I wake up.  The strangest smell revelation for me is water.  Water should be odorless, but it rarely is.  Tap water almost always reeks of chlorine or sulphur or has an acrid metallic odor. Ugh.

Meanwhile my husband is upfitting a small barn as my new studio, and it doesn’t have running water.  As a watercolorist, I have to have clean water.  As a solution, I designed an inexpensive system that pumps water from exchangeable 5 gallon jugs and a separate complex filter system to allow me to send the gray water out to water the flower beds.  I use non-toxic paints, and my filtration system is meant to capture the pigment, but I am going to plant white flowers… just in case.  This next Call is all about the water soluble media & has fewer guidelines than the society shows.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Las Laguna Gallery (Laguna Beach, CA) for Aqueous 2019, a show of work in water-soluble media. $35 entry & 35% commission.  Don’t miss this opportunity…

Learn more about the Painting Competition from Woven Tale Press!BREATHE deeply

I often claim to be a plein air diner.  Food just tastes better when eaten outside. I’ll take a picnic or patio dinner over a upscale restaurant any day.  My mother swears fruit tastes even better eaten right in the field, dirt & all.  This next Call doesn’t require that you paint, or eat, plein air; however, the winner’s retreat offers both of those opportunities.  If you’ve been hesitant to submit to publication calls, investigate this one…

Check out this Open Call for Entries from The Woven Tale Press (print publication) for Art Competition: Painting.  Regular readers know that I believe art publication is worth the effort and can be a reward of its own.  But THIS publication also comes with artist’s retreat in the Hamptons.  Take a look…

BERRY good

Painting with food is fun.  About 15 years ago, I was a gallerist faced with the challenge of creating a curriculum for day camp that would teach children concepts & techniques employed in abstract painting.  Again & again we found that painting with berries was the biggest success.  It bypassed brush skills which are a challenge for kids under 6, and it relieved parents’ worries about the toxicity of paint.  And of course, teaching other people’s children to play with their food is always fun, ha.  This Call is all about painting, but using berries isn’t required.  Take a look…

I am not an avid fan of drinking water, but my health requires it.  Since the wildfires, I find that our water tastes different due to additives to protect us from bacteria that may have grown during the week water was not circulating.  It isn’t just a beverage.  It washes every dish. It is the foundation for coffee, tea, chicken stock and even poached eggs, mashed potatoes and steamed spinach.  Never take clean water for granted.  This next call requires the use of water media for all submissions.  Take a look…
