I struggle with breakfast. Starting my morning with the proper fuel sets the tone for my day, but I struggle nonetheless.  My art year is not that different from my work day –both go better with a little preparation.  This concept of preparation is why I have been pushing art publication for the past couple of weeks.  This is the time of year to drive traffic to your website in preparation for the full swing of the exhibit season.  I understand that some of you like online opportunities and some of you prefer print.  This next Call offers both options, plus international distribution.  Get prepared…

Every day is a choice.  The best we can do is be honest and try to be of help.  Be your best self.  When I saw “white Tara” by today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Barend Paul Barnard, I immediately thought fierce warrior for good.  She looks us in eye –forward, not ferocious.  I am inspired.

Citrus & avocados just became an option again.  For years, my family has been considering locations for relocating, mostly in the eastern U.S., north of the Tennessee/Virginia line.  But after our years of circling the same section of the map, an opportunity much closer to the equator has presented itself.  While I should be concentrating on finding a place to live and all the details that follow, all I can think about is mangoes and avocados, and option I never imagined possible.  While I get back to the garden planning, this next Call offers you a chance to get back to the garden as well.  I love this venue & I’m guessing you will too…

Except for a few specialty pieces, I’ve always owned white dishes.  I love color, but food has always been the creative expression for me –even when my husband spent two years as a commercial potter.  In recent years, we’ve begun slumping glass part time in a kiln shed built onto our back deck.  I am intrigued by the patterns and textures and colors as they meld together.  It make me want to make a different sheet of glass for every window in my house.  This next Call is a salute to that very visual framework.  Take a look…

“Repetition is based on body rhythms, so we identify
with the heartbeat, or with walking,
or with breathing.” —Karlheinz Stockhausen

___
Portraiture draws me in because I crave the human, the humane. But, aesthetically, the geometric and the abstract are the chosen wallpaper of my life.  I seek out the repetition of strokes and patterns of lines and symbols.   When I came across the work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Gyula Sagi, my thoughts went immediately to the human heartbeat and the comfort found in repetition.
