PAINT
your face
with BARBECUE!
Why can’t we play with our food? If I have to get my kid to use green peas as a moat to his mashed potato castle to get dinner eat, well, so be it. And honestly, you can’t tell me that having the requisite clown face of barbeque sauce while eating ribs isn’t part of the the yum of it all. I’ll play with my food if I want to. This next call wants to see what you consider play. What will it be?
Check out this Call for Entries for Play brought to you by the A. Smith Gallery (Johnson City, Texas). The entry fee is low, and you might be inspired to create a little green space of your own. Take a look…

“Ahhhhhh….play. When I was a little girl I had an imaginary friend named Jingo. We contentedly played for hours. I even insisted my mother set a place at the dinner table for my special friend. Now that I’m all grown up, I seem to do much of my playing on my iPhone. Angry Birds and photography apps occupy my play time. So however, whenever and with whomever, look through your viewfinder and see what kind of “Play” you can capture. “ — from the A. Smith Gallery website.
