CALL for ENTRIES: Animals

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

ALFALFA

Grass or corn or both?  Research on how to feed the animals we choose to raise after the move to the farm continues.  Most commercially-available feed consists of a high percentage of corn—GMO corn.  Feeding our chickens and goats and sheep GMO corn really negates the reason behind raising our own animals.  So grass fed, right?  Why not just turn them out into the field since it has green stuff growing on it? Well, it is more complicated than that.  You have PLANT and sometimes re-plant that field of “grass” in most cases. Then, what variety do you plant.  If we are what we eat, they are what they eat.  In the end, the animal depends on the plant.  Interesting.  This next Call depends on only the animal.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Animals.  The entry fee is as little as $15, and the prize packages are fantastic.  Don’t miss the opportunity…

from above or below?

So we are still trying to figure out the logistics of building our own farm.  We’re excited.  We are hoping to move early 2017.  We are working on alternative methods for everything: building, fencing, furniture, electric & sewer.  Then there’s the issue of water.  I can’t WATER goats and chickens and lamb or US without the water portion of the equation.  And while a stream is lovely, there are laws about permanently diverting water that merely goes through your property.  So my options are well water or cistern water.  Both have to be pumped and filtered for different reasons. Decisions, decisions, decisions.  This next Call recognizes water as the essence of life.  I’m thirsty…

Water

 

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+

MEDIA: Open to any painting, drawing, mixed media, photography or digital medium.

THEME:  Work should connect the viewer with the essences of life: water. The work can reflect on the simplicity of a single drop to the power of a raging ocean. It is the most powerful force on earth.  It can humble us in the wake of a storm, provide us with endless energy.  It is necessary for our survival.  It can be the most destructive force on earth, and its beauty cannot be denied.  All life on earth is connected by the need for water.  Artists throughout history have captured it in all of its forms: drops, rain, storms, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

“I have always believed in establishing the sky tone, in general, as soon as possible. In sea painting the rest depends upon it because of the element of reflection.” — Frederick Waugh

EGGY

How is it that quiche became girly food?  I was at a cafe recently that specializes in quiche.  The waitress was reciting the day’s specials to a neighboring table of guests when the man interrupted her to say, “I’m not interested in quiche; I’m a MAN.” Really?  It is eggs, cream and cheese.  I thought, “Maybe it is due to the pie form.”  But, men eat pie, right?  I don’t understand his reasoning, but I restrained myself from asking for the sake of the man sitting at my table.  Maybe this next Call is looking for the quiche-goodness in women only.  Maybe.  Investigate…

Your mayonnaise is a great judge of character.  No, really, I haven’t lost my mind.  If you’re not vegan, and you hate mayonnaise, it is probably because you’ve never had anything but the homogenized, bland, store-bought variety.  Real mayonnaise, if fresh, is made of three simple ingredients: egg yolks, oil & acid.  I prefer farm-fresh eggs, olive oil and lemon.  The are hundreds of combinations each with their own quirks and complexities.  Mayo-making is an foodie’s artisan craft, and this next Call is a celebration of fine craft from basketry to furniture and everything in between.  Take a look…
