CALL for ENTRIES: NY Int’l Mini Print

Learn more about the NY Int'l Miniature Print Exhibition from Manhattan Graphics Center!WINE and dine

If you are an apartment or city dweller, it is exciting to trip across another fruit or veg that can grown in a container.  A friend from Atlanta recently sent me pics of the grapevine she is growing in a container on her balcony.  Potted grapes, seriously.  The grapes aren’t miniature; it can just be grown a miniature scale.  She claims it is going to produce fruit in its first year too!  This next Call wants your miniatures — a maximum of 9 square inches.  Printmaking shows aren’t that commons, so don’t miss this opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: 2017 USM Nat’l Painting

Learn more about the 2017 National Juried Painting Exhibition from The University of Southern Mississippi!

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…

“Pay attention to the things that are important.” Elizabeth Busey

Be careful not to let yourself be distracted from the things that really matter to you by the face value of current events.  The linocuts from today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Elizabeth Busey, are a timely reminder that the planet upon which we are all spinning through the universe requires our attention, our protection.  Pay attention.

Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Evla Vlašičová, is a self-taught photographer.  But, after a recent house fire, Evla finds herself without a darkroom.  I find that creative expression is a bit like a trickle of water in that when it encounters an obstacle, it will always find an alternate path –just as Evla has found the art of the linocut.  You won’t find her on social media, but you can watch a great documentary about her creative process here.
