DOUBLE
garden duty
We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

The artist’s work can be the “abstracting of representational objects” as in expressionistic, surrealistic or cubistic work. “Pure abstraction” is also accepted where there is little to no visual references of the external world.
“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes…. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” — Arshile Gorky
