CALL for ENTRIES: Scapes 2019

Posted on January 8, 2019January 5, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

WATER you up to?

It feels like it has been raining forever and may just never stop. Ever. I’ve never had a green thumb, but my grandmother tried to teach me the basic. I remember almost nothing she taught me except leaves turn yellow when you over water, and nothing is more exciting than the burst of the seed pod of a touch-me-not. So, while I can grow herbs on a windowsill, my dream of having a sustainable farming endeavor is a lost cause. But many of my friends are out there trying only to eat what they grow.

Realistically what do you grow end the land of never ending rain? Apparently taro thrives even in water logged conditions for up to weeks at a time. I could live on taro chips, right? Maybe not. Luckily I can still canoe to my local grocer. The rain is also making me hyperbolic, ha. I could paint the rain, I suppose, or gather rainwater to feed my watercolors for this next landscape call. I then I could use the prize money to buy aquaponic supplies.

CALL for ENTRIES: Blue 2019

Posted on December 31, 2018January 5, 2019 by R.L. Gibson

CUCUMBER and berries

Between granola and smoothies, I am on a constant hunt for decent fruit. This time of year, it is a challenge. The strawberries are horrific, fibrous little lumps. Bananas are great for smoothies but don’t dry well without sulfites. Cucumbers & pineapples are rocking my smoothies, but FRESH fruit is a struggle. (Yes, I can hear how that sounds.) Blueberries have saved me lately. They are relatively cheap and work in cereal and for pancakes & smoothies. If anyone has recommendations on how to dry them, I’m open to ideas. This next Call wants your blue solutions…

So why do you consider this online gallery, art publication opportunity? Well, here are some questions: Do you need a low risk, low cost way to test new, experimental work? Are you looking to drive traffic to your website and create organic content for social media posts? And, there’s the grant money. Do you want the opportunity to be awarded grant money? ha. Is this opportunity right for you? Only you can know. The deadline looms VERY CLOSE — January 7th.

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Blue 2019. $25 entry & no shipping. Do you have work in blue? You know you want the $500 grant. Take a look…

flushed FRUIT

Red is my favorite color. On an unrelated note, I’ve never eaten a red food I didn’t love. Hmmm. I find it hard to resist even the red-adjacent –raspberries, rambutan & now lychee. Lychee is like the perfect cross of soft floral rose & tart white grapes. Yum. The next Call wants to see your “red” inspiration. What’s not to love about red?

Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

bear-ly HUNGRY

I live in black bear country, and hyperphagia is coming to an end soon. Hyperphagia is the time of year when the bears gorge themselves in preparation for their winter “hibernation”, although black bears don’t really hibernate, per see. (I digress.) This means a few months on not being paranoid about leaving sunflower seeds in my car or a stray pizza box in the outdoor trash can. Some people have raccoons, I have bears, ha. This next Call is all about animal life. Whatcha got?

BREAKFAST eggspert

I miss breakfast. I have been complaining about being sick of eggs for 10 years, but I’d give anything for an egg sandwich right now. My residency provides the basics so that we can make our own breakfast –eggs, bread, butter, yogurt, granola. But, you know what happens when a chef prepares every lunch & dinner you eat? In my case, I’ve become too lazy to make my own breakfast outside a bowl of granola. *sigh* This next Call if for your impressions of the light of day… not necessarily what you eat a dawn, ha.

the PRICKLY truth

Sometimes you just have to be open to trying new foods. So, when handed a nopales taco by a friend, I thought “why not”. Nopal is a common name for the pad of a cacti and sometimes refers to the prickly pear fruit as well. Fleshy & a little tart, the nopales in my taco really worked as a meat substitute. I’m not sure why I don’t eat more cacti. To what are you open? This next call is open to any thematic content. Investigate the opportunity…

presto PESTO

My menu has been pesto-riffic this month. Two visits to West Virignia resulted in my returning home with the bounty of someone else’s garden, and her basil crop is booming. Add a few walnuts (my preference over pine nuts), some parm & EVOO, and I have the best pesto on the block, if I do say so myself. This next Call wants to know about your flowers, plants & gardens. This is a perennial favorite, ha…

the EGGY truth

Sometimes you just need a win. In the kitchen, my win is usually an egg dish. I think of them as the basics — hard boiled, frittata, omelette, quiche. The skills used to make those four egg dishes include many of the fundamentals for cooking well. Drawing is a fundamental that helps support every other media pursuit for me from painting to photography, even fiber arts. This next Call wants to see YOUR drawing. Investigate…

all JUICED up

I have to learn to stop reading the comments sections on social media posts. Even when I think I found a safe, foodie-friendly post, I end up amazed by the viciousness of the battles over juice as the fiber-less evil cousin of fruit or the severing of parental rights over cereal as breakfast food. Do our food choices speak to the human condition, or is it how we judge others that speaks to our place in the world? I am always happy to hear your thoughts. This next Call would also like to know what you have to say about the human condition. Investigate…

These myriad strongholds of energies, which hopefully inspire your works, should speak to us as they represent your brightest or darkest experiments and enlightening realizations in your life and should be represented as such here in your fine artwork for us to absorb and potentially integrate into our own lives. So, your submitted creations should express the subject as felt through the artist’s empathy or subjective eye of experience. The message is meant for us, the viewer.”
