comfort FOOD

We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the East Tennessee wildfires.  When I posted this Call last year, I lamented my emotional-eating reaction to those wildfires –baked goods.  But, a year later finds me back to a full-time studio practice, 40 lbs lighter & feeding my wildfire PTSD with more vegetables & fewer baked goods.  It’s a better place for me.  How about you?  Where were you a year ago? This next Call feels good & is also a great way to end your year.  Cash prizes too…

Check out this Call for Entries from Knox Arts & Culture Alliance for the 12th Nat’l Juried Exhibition. I have shown here.  I have juried here.  I teach here.  I would love to see your contribution here. Take a look…

raw FOOD

In a world where so many people are vegetarian or vegan, steak tartar was once the most controversial food conversations one could have.  Now we have so many more choices of things with which to disagree.  If we just stick to raw foods, there are still subgroups like fruitarians, juicearians, or sproutarians which cause heads to metaphorically explode.  The bottom line is that people have the right to determine what goes into their bodies, and what we choose to eat says something about who we are.  We are what we eat, right?  This next Call wants to know the raw truth about you through your work.  This one is personal…

Check out this Call for Entries from IU Kokomo Art Gallery (Kokomo, IN) for Raw: The Exhibition.  There is no entry fee, the media is wide open & the commission rate is low.  If you’re willing to let it hang out, this could be a great opportunity…

Every year as December approaches, I get excited about the bounty of in-season clementines just around the corner.  And in all my excitement, I completely forget about the pomegranates.  It is almost a gift because I can’t miss what I don’t remember.  This next Call is excited about all things red, including pomegranates, but you won’t want to forget this one.  Take a look…

ELIGIBILITY: All artists age 18+ (int’l)

MEDIA:   Open to still media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, digital art, printmaking, fiber art, collage, etc.

THEME: Red “Colors often symbolize a variety of emotions, an artist’s truth, perhaps wild fantasies—from war, power, heat, love, sexuality, anger, and joy to ‘soft’ idealisms—these are but a few examples. Red, in particular here, can be used to draw the viewer closer emotionally in a way which enhances their reaction to the art. It may define intuitively an intended focal point that carries the viewer more deeply into the artist’s message.” –art-competition.net

DEADLINE: November 13, 2017

NOTIFICATION: November 27, 2017

ENTRY FEE: $25 for up to 3, $5 ea. add’l

I have been married for almost 20 years.  He is not only the love of my life but also an excellent cook.  Our culinary lives have matured through two decades of kitchen gadgets and trendy foods.  We survived jalapeño poppers.

POMME de terre

While most of the U.S. is pumpkin spice obsessed this Fall, I am looking forward to potatoes.  Yes, I can get potatoes year ’round, but most of my favorite potato dishes are French-inspired, winter comfort food.  Raclette is a firm cheese made from cow’s milk, meant to melted and served over potatoes. Gratin dauphinois is a glorious combination of potatoes, cream & garlic reminiscent of scalloped potatoes.   How about hachis parmentier, consisting mashed potatoes & ground beef, layered with cheese?  The only thing better than these winter foods would be eating them in Paris.  This next Call could give you just that opportunity.  Take a look…

I eat SO MANY tacos.  Because I travel so often, I find picking a good restaurant, be it counter service or table, has odds not unlike roulette (37 to 1).  But I have consistently had great tacos, nearly everywhere.  I rarely meet anyone that doesn’t like a good taco.  They are like the great joiners of people.  Aside from being bad eating-while-driving food (due to the mess), I can eat a taco almost anywhere with almost anyone.  Differences seem to disappear.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the answer to embracing our differences was a simple as the ordering from the local taco truck?  It isn’t, but until we find a solution and do the work, this next Call wants your ideas about coexistence.  Take a look…

I have never been a big fan of rice. As a child, I only experienced rice as white, short grain & topped with copious amounts of brown gravy.  When put up against the family of starches, including potatoes and pasta, rice has always paled in comparison.  But lately, I have a newfound respect for the subtleties.  Available in a rainbow of hues, this delicate grain makes the best of additions from tomatoes & cumin to mango & orange juice.  Rice has emerged as one of my favorites.  This next Call seeks emerging artists.  Are you emerging? Show your stuff.

“I want my paintings to find the naive child & deep down belly laugh that lives inside every person . . .” —Jenn Ashton

•

I have picked up the paintbrush again for the first time in many years in preparation for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I had forgotten how physically taxing & the nature of focus that it requires of me. As a result, my work tends to be very serious. I have such respect for artists that bring forth joy on canvas and paper.  Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Jenn Ashton aspires to find the belly laugh.  Today, on this day, in this week, month & year, in this decade, I find painting with joy & laughter is among the most noble of pursuits. Thanks, Jenn.

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world.  Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me.  Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide.  I am oddly relieved.  What are you not trying to hide?
