I will travel for FOOD, will you?

If you could have any food you want for your next meal, what would it be? My favorite foods list is a moving target, but my dream foods list is dwindling. I find that more and more, I just want an authentic meal… dim sum in Hong Kong, ceviche in Peru, pho in Vietnam. Let’s go. This next Call is my stateside art dream– the National Portrait Gallery. Do you have a portrait to submit? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Really Affordable 2018

mellow MELON

I am melon obsessed lately. Watermelon & canteloupe are around $.50/lb. or less, and I can’t seem to get enough. I’m having them for on the side of oatmeal at breakfast, with cottage cheese & salads at lunch, and they’ve even become dessert stand-ins. I’m excited about high value nutrition and low-cost; it doesn’t always work out quite that way. This next Call is a selling show with a price cap, making it an affordable way for fans to become collectors. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from BWAC (Brooklyn, NY) for the Really Affordable Art Show. There is a price cap on submissions to this show, but there is only 30% commission. A distinguished juror & a $1000 purchase award make this is a great opportunity to find new collectors…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Mind’s Eye

Posted on January 26, 2016January 26, 2016 by R.L. Gibson

BREAKFAST blahs

We always end up eating eggs for breakfast. I am so bored with eggs. Because I try to avoid single-use appliances, I didn’t own a waffle iron until I inherited one second-hand from my mother-in-law last week. We’ve had waffles 4 times in the last 7 days. My husband asked, “Don’t you want something different?” I explained that appearance of something 4 times in our nearly 20 years together still qualifies as something different even if the 4 times were all in one week. The award for best waffles EVER goes to this morning’s blueberry bacon maple variety. He deserves a cash award, really. This next Call comes with cash awards but no blueberry waffles. It is still worth a look though…

Check out this Call for Entries from All-About-Photo.com for The Mind’s Eye for a showcase at the Jules Maeght Gallery (San Francisco, CA) in addition to an online gallery. Big jury pool, big prizes & reasonable entry fee. Take a look…
