Nourishment is personal. Salt is a perfect example. There is no other edible substance that I can think of that is more divisive. One simple dusting of salt can define the line between edible or not for a huge range of people. Be it food or artistic inspiration, how you feed yourself has to be personal. What else could it be? This Call is personal for me. I have been hungry, physically & creatively; have you? The show is short and simple. I have extended the deadline in an effort to include more work from more artists. Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity. Please make it personal for you too…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art&ArtDeadlines.com for EXTENDED DEADLINE: Small Plates, an exhibit of unframed small works at The Balcony Gallery (Knox, TN). $5 entry. No framing. Cheap shipping. Please participate…

CORN

I have such reservations about corn but none about corn pudding. We had it for dinner tonight. I always think of corn as hailing from Iowa. (I am clearly like a marketing sponge.) But as I spent hours on the back roads of Ohio last year trying to avoid the nightmare that is I-75 South, I drove through miles and miles and miles of corn fields, intersected only by the occasional two-lane or gravel road. Dazzling. Beautiful. Waving both “hello” & “goodbye”. A landscape of corn. In Ohio. This next Call wants your landscape or seascape, or even your corn. Take a look…

Food is so personal. A client recently asked if I had any dietary restrictions so that she could be prepared for our branding consultation that will span a lunch time. I’m allergic to parsnips, which is rarely an issue, and wheat which is always an issue. Always. Her response? We grow our own heirloom corn varietals from which we grind our own corn meal for cornbread.” Food is PERSONAL, and this next Call couldn’t be any more personal. Your support will determine the growth of this opportunity. Please make it personal for you too…

TEA

Did you know that pine needles are edible, sort of? If you love the smell of holiday wreaths and garlands made of fresh pine, you can get that same sense of comfort from tea brewed of pine needles. Be careful NOT to use yew, Norfolk Island Pine or Ponderosa Pine (poisonous) and be sure to forage for your needles to help avoid fertilizers and pesticides. It’s a different way to look at those ever-present evergreens. This next Call wants to see your different take on plants of all sorts too. Deck the halls…

power FOODS

Green chili has made my week. Sometimes I struggle in the winter since most produce is sun-powered. But, I have learned how to make the best of what IS available. Using imported, hot-house tomatoes is never my first choice; however, if you are going to cook them for hours, like I do in green chili, tangy unriped green tomatoes can be just the thing to fool your taste buds for another week until Spring arrives. Here’s a sun-powered Call that will make your week too. Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Amy Friend

Posted on November 18, 2015November 17, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

perspective, yes

Get to know artist Amy Friend, our current Artist of the Day. I struggled to choose what to post because she is, simply, in my head. This work is both lush & toothsome. (continues below)

My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend, AAAD Artist of the Day — *My Tangled Perspective by Amy Friend*

“A pleasure in the discomfort & need for the tension.”
— Amy Friend (from amydraws.com)

“My current body of work focuses on a desire for balance and the dichotomy of my life; my desire for adventure and freedom versus a need for security and roots. Illustrating these themes is the current obsession of mine. Using metaphors and abstracts, my work maintains realism in its depiction. The compositions create a graceful struggle and an uncertain balance.”

WILD

Have you ever eaten a persimmon? I am headed out for a road-trip soon, and I am super excited about eating persimmon pudding in Indiana. Persimmons are typically cultivated in the southeastern U.S. but grow WILD throughout much of Indiana. I think their love of this weird little fruit has resulted in some of the best uses, including the notorious pudding. Give a persimmon a try. Make sure it is ripe though; trust me. This next Call IS ripe and from Indiana. (I know. Bad. Sorry.) This is a great call…

soul FOOD

I love an amuse-bouche as much as the next foodie. I love tapas & small plate menus too. But, I don’t understand the tiny food trends I am seeing. The videos of tiny food being made on tiny appliances? I am clearly missing something. I cannot find a point to the concept of tiny food except for the cute factor. Where food is concerned, more is almost inevitably better in my house. But there is a time & place for everything. This next Call is the perfect way to dive into tiny works. Now to learn how to bind my work…

MUSTARD
fiends

Every last member of my family is a mustard fiend. There are rarely ever appearances of plain yellow mustard in my house. Dijon is the mustard of choice for the majority of the family. And while I have a soft spot for homemade, hot Chinese mustard, I rarely indulge (too lazy to make it). Brown mustard gets an occasional at bat around here on a whim, but Dijon is our comfort zone, our fall back, our home base if you will. This next gallery is a little like home base for me. Please don’t miss this opportunity…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the Nat’l Juried Exhibition of 2016. This is a great arts organization. I have shown work here. I have juried a show here. I teach here. I would love to see your contribution at this opening. Take a look…
