don’t FEED
the rats

Rats, when tested, will develop cancer. Have you heard that satirical proverb? I believe it is/was meant to be a comment on the number of carcinogens identified by animal testing. Well, I have another one for you. Food, when processed, will become unhealthy. Okay, maybe that one isn’t so satirical. Check out this list of 7 Foods People Think are Healthy, but Aren’t. But, I suspect most of you are far too food savvy to have thought they were healthy, so check out the list of seven media that are eligible for this next Call. It’s worth a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net and G25N for The Human Form. Only $20 to enter. This Call is open to seven different media including digital & fiber art. Take a look…

PEPPERS
only smaller

My whole house smells like peppers & basil at the moment. A recent Saturday trip to the farmers market ended with a huge surplus of these staples, but to prevent loss, I am dehydrated both. Then I will grind, chop or crumble most of these into a smaller form for storage and use this winter. This next Call could be an outlet for new work, but it could be an excellent way to compact and move out studies or older work. I encourage you to contemplate cutting down your work. Yes, I DID say, “cutting down your work”…

How much do you love road food? No. I don’t like it either. We’re on the road for four days over the holiday weekend, and I am arming myself with a car-load of snacks to combat the power of suggestion of every digital billboard that suggests I check my “fry guage”. Has a nugget of any sort every made your trip better? Has a peeling truck stop billboard every really followed through on making your ride more pleasant with week-old doughnuts and day-old franks? Damn the billboards. Or not. Let’s channel the power of suggestion for art like with this next call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Day of the Dead

SUGAR skulls &
bones of BREAD

My family enjoys participating in cultural celebrations from around the world. None of us grew up with any sort of specific cultural traditions aside from spaghetti night or BBQ on Father’s Day. So each year we adopt Chinese New Year, Oktoberfest & even the Day of the Dead as our very own. Chinese New Year gives us an extra 6 weeks or so to make plans for the upcoming year (Yes, we really are late to everything –even making resolutions, ha). Dia de Los Muertos offers us a time to tell stories about those we’ve lost. I’ve lost a lot of people lately, and it is a great comfort to take time to celebrate them. This next Call is interested in that same celebration. Take a look…

If you have something to say, you should say it. Anonymous food & restaurant reviews are cheap shots. Have you noticed that only BAD reviews are posted by “anonymous”. If someone has something good to say, they post their names in all CAPS. I am hopeful that this next Call will redeem the notion of posting, or in this case exhibiting, anonymously. How will your work stand up on its own?

MUNCHIES

I kicked cable TV to the curb. Because we travel for work, no one really watches specific shows very often. So, we have a Hulu account & Chromecast PLUS there’s a Redbox® just down the mountain. The result? Now we watch more movies and consume more popcorn. Isn’t that the law? A movie must be accompanied by popcorn, right? This next Call could be an excellent way to put my new movie-watching obsession to good use. Take a look…

in a PICKLE

I’ve been studying food preservation, from pickling & water-bath canning to vacuum-sealing & salt-packing. I’ve run across a huge amount of admirable testing, experimentation and success amongst food-enthusiasts, homemakers, homesteaders, preppers & gardners alike. I am open to almost anything culinary at least once, but some folks are out there just purposely trying to make food, well, wrong. Koolickles. I am almost beyond words this time. Koolickles are created by soaking dill pickles in a mixture of Kool-Aid® & pickle brine. Being open doesn’t always work in my favor, but this next Call definitely does. They are open to almost anything, and it doesn’t have to be Koolickles, I promise…

EGGPLANT

My kiddo just turned 16. For his birthday, he didn’t ask for pizza or burgers; he wanted Indian food. So proud. Since his palate took a huge left turn a couple of years ago, eating out with him has been a voyage of firsts. The first taste of Baingan ka Bharta (a spicy mash of eggplant & tomatoes) & Goat Korma were adorable. And hopeful. Finally I can rest knowing that I might have put another foodie out into the world that is willing to eat adventurously. This next Call could be a first opportunity for you at the first show for this gallery. Investigate…

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net (online) for Abstract II. The cash prizes are DOUBLED for this one! Take a look…

Abstract II

MEDIA: Open to all 2D media: painting, drawing, collage, photography, digital, etc.

The artist’s work can be the “abstracting of representational objects” as in expressionistic, surrealistic or cubistic work. “Pure abstraction” is also accepted where there is little to no visual references of the external world.

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes…. Abstract art enables the artist to perceive beyond the tangible, to extract the infinite out of the finite. It is the emancipation of the mind. It is an exploration into unknown areas.” — Arshile Gorky

My friend accidentally discovered a peach tree in her yard. I was puzzled too. See has a heavily wooded side yard through which she rarely traverses, and after a short walk yesterday, she came across a previously undiscovered peach tree full of ripe fruit.
