I like to believe I am rarely surprised, but truth is I am surprised & often. The latest is alcoholic water. When is the last time you took a drink of water & thought, “if only this were alcoholic”? I am guessing that the lower sugar content appeals to those dieting & drinking. This next Call is all about water of the non-alcoholic variety for communities in need. This is a rare chance to enter a contest for good that offers monetary awards for winners. Take a look…

Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown! — *Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown*

“I am interested in the idea of recollection & how time & moments can feel distorted if one fails to grab hold of any memory landmark.” —Kristen Brown

•

My grandmother lived with Alzheimer’s; her mother lived with Alzheimer’s. Every lost memory scares the wits out of me. Logically, I know that wasting my lucid years worrying about a feared eventuality of non-lucidity is just the most stupid waste of a lifetime, but some days it gets the better of me. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kristen Brown, brought me to tears. It is that blurred perception of reality, that soft focus of memories just out of reach that she captures so well. Thanks for the perspective.

” . . . my pieces tend to be epic in scope, using all three modes of communication to create my narrative.” — Sarah Quick

•

My days are full. I am less busy, but more active. I want to do everything, try everything, create everything, experience everything. I feel like a constantly churning, epic state of movement. It is good. It is where I want to be, in the middle of chaos, both good & bad. It is an experiential life. It is shiny and new. Again. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, painter Sarah Quick, conveys struggle on an epic scale. We are never alone.

OPEN CALL: Greenshields Grant

Posted on August 3, 2017August 4, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

the deepest CUT

If you want to learn to cook well, I recommend starting with knives. Every dish is made more difficult with a dull knife. I had a brief affair with being a chef that put me in cooking school for a year. The first thing I had to buy was a full set of very expensive knives. (My mother had mine monogrammed. No kidding. SO embarrassing.) Fear not, you can start with just a couple of not-so-expensive knives. Everyone starts somewhere. This next Call is looking to help artists just making their start. Need funding?

i want all the FOOD

Today has been the hottest day of the year in my area. Normally I would have hidden indoors for fear of having a heat-triggered, cough-variant asthma attack. But, I ventured forth and no asthma attack. I have dropped a few pounds recently in an effort to reduce the chances of overheating this summer. The change is my cheese-nuts-olives, free-for-all lifestyle has been dramatic but worth it. My next goal is to get off asthma meds completely, while NOT starving to death, ha.

a personal END

A grocery budget surplus comes around rarely in my house, but alas, it magically appeared this week. I was tempted to be practical and buy a back-stock of staple items. But at the last minute, I came across tamarind pods and decided to splurge. I’ve always wanted to make my own tamarind paste just to know if would be better than what I could buy. It isn’t, but I can now say I’ve done it, ha. The next Call could put a surplus in your art budget or at least help you meet your budget. Take a look…
