CALL for ENTRIES: Faces of Humanity

Posted on December 24, 2016December 22, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

CREAM of the crop

Dairy isn’t everyone’s friend. My child has struggled with it for years. He loves it far more than it loves him. To this day, nothing is better than seeing his FACE when he stretches warm cheese off a pizza or eats that first spoonful of ice cream. People suffer for fashion and art. Why not for the love of dairy? This next Call wants to see all the faces of humanity, not just the dairy daze. You know how I love portraiture…

CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion & Energy of Color 4

a clean PLATE

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty. But, in my effort to find a silver lining, I will admit that a clean refrigerator is liberating. Now it is slowing filling with mustard greens, pickled beets & craft beer against a stark white background. It is a whole new energy like this new Call. An art publication opportunity…

CALL for ENTRIES: Abstract 3

Posted on November 6, 2016November 7, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

FOOD cubed

I recently attended an “abstract” dinner party. I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into, and that made me MORE eager to attend, ha. Upon arrival, I found that every dish was comprised of food cut in an identical manner. I couldn’t tell cubes of potato from turnip or cubes of yellow carrot from summer squash. From appetizer to entree to dessert, it was an evening of simple foods prepared with time-consuming precision. I was forced to savor the preparation and intent since nothing was representational of its original form. Abstract food. Fascinating. This next Call is all about the abstract as well. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Still Life

Posted on October 28, 2016October 29, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

goin’ BANANAS

The landscape of my kitchen counter is changing. My day is incomplete without fresh fruit. While the happy dance of the clementines begins soon, it is otherwise just the banana bunny hop for most of the winter. I find that most in-season winter produce is either not finger food (cranberries, pomegranates) and/or expensive (guava, kumquat, kiwi). So clementines & bananas still life it will be. This next Call invites you to create your own still life. Orange you glad? (sorry)

CALL for ENTRIES: Nature

Posted on August 20, 2016August 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

freckled FRUITAGE

Food imagery IS the visual brand of this site. For years, I used primarily pristine images of perfect foods on crisp, white, burned out backgrounds. But in the past couple of years, my strategy has changed. I have concerns about how many people, children specifically, don’t know what natural produce looks like. I’ve had many cashiers at the grocer offer to let me trade in a piece of organic fruit for something waxed, dyed & shiny for fear I was buying “bad” produce. Nature doesn’t care about symmetry, saturation or uniformity. This next Call wants your take on nature. Open to broad interpretation…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red 2

Posted on August 13, 2016August 11, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

another shot of RED

Lamenting the end of red foods the other day, I completely forgot about rhubarb. The further South you live, the later in the season you can harvest rhubarb. It isn’t a common find at fresh markets in my area, or even at my grocer, in theory because it is a pain. It is disease resistant and hard to kill, but it requires a well-fed diet of compost and/or manure each year and SO MUCH watering. Nonetheless, I love rhubarb jam. Rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice. Simple, sweet & tart. Try it; you’ll love it. This next Call is looking for your red work, fruits & veggies are optional. Delicious…

tricky TREATS

My dog only eats dog treats at home. When she’s at the dog sitter’s house, she will only take cat treats. I don’t get it. I once had a cat that would only limp when I watched her.
