clean your PLATE

Eating is a roving action at my house.  Sometimes breakfast is consumed at the kitchen counter.  Lunch often ends up as a living room picnic.  If I’m lucky, dinner is eaten at the kitchen table twice per week, and it isn’t because I love eating on the go.  The reality is, my tabletop is generally covered by paperwork that should be on my desk or art that should be in my studio space or music equipment undergoing cleaning or repair.  Tonight it holds a prom tuxedo (don’t ask).  I need a more functional tabletop landscape –just like this next call.  The deadline is rapidly approaching…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Art League (Alexandria, VA) for The Tabletop Exhibit. $35 entry & not restricted to ceramics.  The deadline is MAY 6th.  Don’t miss this…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Retrieval

Learn more from The Painting Center in Chelsea!the STOMACH knows

Beautiful food is enticing.  Culinary schools offer classes that teach presentation for a reason.  But ugly food has its place. I had lunch with a friend yesterday; she insisted I pick the restaurant.  I chose Indian food only to discover she had never eaten Indian food.  I felt the need to warn her that the food was delicious, but ugly.  Maybe ugly is a little too strong.  It looks a bit like mud on rice, but the stomach doesn’t care what food looks like..  This next call isn’t muddy, it wants to see all that is beautiful.  Take a look…

“Galen Johnson’s book The Retrieval of the Beautiful is a dynamic discussion of existence & consciousness of human activity, including art.  Johnson writes, ‘Here it is enough to see that beauty & the sublime blend into one another when the beautiful grows powerful, transcendent & majestic.’  Something beautiful seduces you & draws you in.
