“Orange Dream”, acrylic & oil, by Patricia Derks

“Zo ben ik steeds zoekende naar nieuwe onderwerpen,
verschillende technieken, altijd weer anders.
Soms verrassend, soms helemaal niets.” — Patricia Derks

(So I’m always looking for new subjects, different techniques, always
different.Sometimes surprising, sometimes nothing at all.)

__

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Patricia Derks, has a way with color that conveys more than the subject, or artist, seems to intend the view to see.  Today, “Orange Dream” said, “I see you. Me too.”  What does her work say to you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Wearable Expressions

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Wearable Expressions exhibit from Palos Verdes Art Center!wear EAT me

You don’t have to wear a coconut brassiere to make food wearable. Coconut fiber, banana silk & pineapple leather are being used to create the latest and most fashionable textiles.  So, if Gaga’s meat dress isn’t your groove, try banana silk.  The next Call wants the wearable version of your art–from clothing to jewelry, but it doesn’t have to be edible. (Brownie points from me if it is, though.)  So, make it work…

Learn more about The Artist as Maker, Thinker & Feeler!hot HOT hot

My kitchen is awash with hot peppers.  A trip to our UT Farmers Market resulted in a bounty of experimental varietals of habenero & Scotch bonnet peppers.  I moved them from a paper bag to the dehydrator trays, and three hand washes later, my hands were still on fire.  The maker in me couldn’t let go of the idea that I need to preserve them for use over the winter.  The maker in me tries to find a use for every extra.  How does your maker-thinker-feeler side affect your work?  This Call wants to know.  Take a look…

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.

Learn more about the Root to Bloom exhibit at the Principle Gallery!SIPPING and driving

While traveling around the country, people often ask what food I miss most from home.  The truth is, what I really miss is tea — unsweetened, cold-but-not-iced, sans caffeine.  I drink at least a gallon a day.  I can make it on the road, but it isn’t the same.  Different water, different container, different refrigerator.  When I am nearly home from a road trip, I always think the same thing, “I can’t wait to get home & have a glass of tea” (and see my family and dog, yeah, yeah, I know).  This next call wants to know what “home” is to you.  Take a look…

Learn more about the Embracing our Differences exhibit! say CHEESE

I witnessed a cheese fight this week.  Okay, a cheese argument.  I was having dinner in a restaurant and overheard a fairly ugly discussion about sheep’s milk vs. cow’s milk cheeses.  As we finished our dessert, the conversation was headed toward a goat’s milk cheese debate, and fearful that I would be unable to jump in, I promptly exited.  Ridiculous. Given the world’s issues, the differences that separate cheese lovers may be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  This next debate celebrates our differences, even amongst those passionate about cheese.  Take a look…

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…

The upcoming presidential election in the United States has many pondering how we get to a place of peace, of harmony, one with another.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mike Weber, suggests we turn to nature, specifically animals, and study their synchronicity for an example to replicate.  Harmony.

Food matters to me, inspires me.  I believe that what we eat informs our health & happiness.  I’m not talking about counting calories or carbs.  I am concerned with whole foods, grown locally with minimal processing.  Real food.  I am always delighted to see food inspiring others.  Chocolate has inspired art, including a sort of painting, in the the pastry arts for years, but did you know there are chocolate portrait painters?  No joke.  This next call is looking for work done through a painterly process, but I’m guessing they aren’t expecting chocolate.  Investigate for yourself…
