Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Animal Life 2018 exhibit from 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?

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…

something SALAD

For most people, the concept of salad is abstract at best –egg, chef, Caesar, Cobb, chicken.  Something loosely defined by intent but not really definable.  You can’t order a salad & know what you’ll get because everyone brings their own meaning to “salad”.  Lately it always means spinach, mushrooms, strawberries & feta, but my mother jumps directly to the three bean variety.  This next Call is waiting for what you will bring to abstract.  Don’t miss your chance…

the DONUTS on the bus

I had a dream last night that I was a member of an elite task force who job was to stop the getaway of bandits driving cars with Boston-creme-doughnut wheels.  I deployed tack strip which led to doughnut bits everywhere and creme filling running in the streets.  Ummm, yeah, I’m concerned too.  This next Call is all about your dreams.  I’m betting you have something that fits this theme…

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…

THEME: The Human Condition “The visual narrative of the artist’s work should speak to the human condition:  from joy to despondence, kind fortune to adversity, liberating freedom of expression to agonies of suppression. 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.”

just PEACH-y

I sent my husband to the farmers market for turnips & beets.  He came home with honey & peaches.  I suppose it isn’t like going to the grocery where there are a proscribed list of possible foods you will encounter.  Instead, the farmers market offers an almost endless range of possibilities within your growth climate, lending itself to surprises, naturally.  This next Call is hoping for those same possibilities.  Send them a peach…

Tired of broccoli?  Me too.  Tired of kale?  I think everyone is.  What about purslane?  It is a succulent herb that has a touch of a bitter overtone.  It is technically a weed, but that just means it is easy to grow.  If you don’t have it naturally growing in your yard, you can buy the seeds on the cheap.  Try it in stir fry or salads.  It might add a new twist on the green portion of your meal.  This next Call wants to how your work is informed by all things green.  And someone will win a $500 grant as well…

The extent of this application to the composition is not a consideration in the judging of each piece.  How the color green engages the viewer to enter the artist’s narrative defines these evaluations—nothing more.  We look forward to receiving potential entries which capture a mood, relay a message, or inspire a viewer to interpret the artist’s work through their intuitive and perhaps methodical utilization of various green shades.” — art-competition.net

After a day of planting African daises and marigolds for my mother, I have the first (& hopefully only) minor sunburn of the season. A sunburn always makes me crave melon, but cantaloupe and honeydew aren’t at their best at the moment.  Hopefully by the time my mother’s landscape of Mexican heather is in full bloom, even the watermelon will be ripe.  In the meantime, this Call wants to know about the different “scapes” in your life — land, city, sea or mind.  Take a look…
