CALL for ENTRIES: 57th Annual Masur

the SMOOTH move

I found a culinary treasure in my own backyard. Because leftovers are common in our house, I often send my husband back to work with them at lunch, and one of his co-workers in particular is commonly the lone “taker”. I am delighted that it isn’t wasted AND that my number of repeats of a given meal is reduced. As an unneccessary and unexpected “thank you” for all the lunches, she sent two packaged meals home with him from a local service that specializes in locally sourced, fresh made “take home meals”. They are available fresh or frozen and they are delightful. I stopped by to pick up 10 meals today… for $7 each. Woohoo! What an exciting find! I asked them how long they had been in business assuming they were new. Nope. Eight years. I have been missing out for 8 years. Wow. What have you been missing out on for years?

The end of the year always makes me cast a glance foward to the new year. I don’t make resolutions, but I do re-evaluate each year to see how I can be happier in my studio practice, how I can be happier in my personal life and how I can make my studio life and home life work better together. Recently I have really been enjoying making small works. I completed fourteen 4″x8″ pieces recently, formatting their layout for pre-selected frame sizes. I don’t usually work backwards from the frame, so that was a new experience. Are you updating your practice? This next call is one of my favorites. The deadline is very close, but it isn’t thematic, so you HAVE WORK to submit, regardless. Don’t miss out.

Check out this Call for Entries for the 57th Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $20 Entry & no commission. This is a stunning museum show with such history. This is one of my favorite shows of the year. Take a look…

the SMOOTH move

I finally have a use for all those black, frozen bananas cluttering my freezer –the afternoon smoothie. I live with two high-metabolism guys, so the 4 o’clock afternoon snack is standard here. I’m not new to the concept of the smoothie, but I am new to making them regularly. Frozen cantaloupe, whole milk yogurt and a melange of other goodies like vanilla, berries, chia seeds. I am frequently still NOT hungry when dinner prep time rolls around. The best part is that they are super fast & have almost no clean up, giving me less distraction and fewer avoidance excuses.

I need fewer reasons to make excuses. Do you hibernate from responsibility when overwhelmed? Me too. I am a member of a handful of online artistic communities, and I read all the bickering about what shows are worth entering and which aren’t. No one seems to see different paths. Everyone seems to have divided up into teams “realism” vs. “abstraction”, “fine art” vs. “applied arts”. Where are you? And why can’t your decision be based on where YOU are or where you want to be? Right now, I am interested mainly in academic and museum shows because this is a period of growth and change. What shows feel right to you? Are you concentrating on publication? Are you testing new work in online venues? Are you searching for gallery representation or maybe higher volume commercial sales? All of those paths are valid. Don’t get sucked into the guilt of not fulfilling the vision someone else has for what being a successful artist means. (Remind me to talk about Insta-worthy studios sometime.)

Check out this Call for Entries for the 56th Annual Juried Exhibition from the Masur Museum of Art (Monroe, LA). $20 Entry & no commission. This is a stunning museum show with a storied history. The juror has excellent curatorial vision. I think this is a great opportunity, but is it the right fit for you? Have a smoothie and get back to me. 🙂

glorious GIFTS

Give me more fat. Seriously. In the winter, I find a drizzle of olive oil improves every dish from grits at breakfast to soup at dinner. And when the stars align & all the ingredients come together, I end up with a tiny bottle of truffle oil in my stocking during the holidays. It is truly the best way to top off any meal. This next Call is just like that –the best of all the ingredients. Take a look…

gelatinous
CULTURE

Mayhaw jelly is the gift that keeps giving. I appreciate receiving foods from all over the U.S., but often those foods aren’t necessarily native to an area — just popular there. But, the mayhaw berry is native to the wetlands, so every time I receive a Louisiana batch, I am transported back to a place I love. You can keep the beignets; just pass the jelly. This next Call hails from Louisiana too and is just as special. Take a look…
