CALL for ENTRIES: Illumination of Imagination

coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault.  So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee.  (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.)  I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years.  I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray.  No joke.  So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened.  But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one.  Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning.  I feel a little bad. (Not really.)  Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe.  You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Illumination of Imagination! The entry fee can be as low as $10. This could be a great opportunity for you to sell art AND the juror is very well documented. Take a look…

Pink food rocks.  No really.  Most pink foods start out as red foods (all yummy) that have had cream or some sort of cheese added.  How could you go wrong?  Vodka sauce, cream of tomato soup, strawberry cream cheese, raspberry smoothies.  I could go on for paragraphs.  This next Call is all about the pink.  This is show to consider…

anyone?

Heart smart foods have become the norm in my house.  I have scary-low blood pressure, and my doc says it makes me far less likely to have a heart attack or stroke.  However, my husband is one of those string beans that can consume 5000 calories per day.  If Captain Consumption is going to grow old with me, the meats are going to have to be lean, the vegetables plentiful, whole grains a constant and cheese…just an occasional indulgence.  This next show is in the Heartland; do you think they eat any heart-healthier there?  Let me know…

Surprised!

Salt and pepper are the basics of all seasoning.  Given nothing else, you can still do wonders with this pair.  However, while menu-planning for an upcoming cabin vacation with my family, I have had to take sodium content into mind for my mother’s sake.  WOW!  What an eye opener.  One-half a frozen average-size pepperoni pizza (3 slices of 6) has her recommended sodium intake for 2.5 days.  I suppose that too much of a good thing really does exist.  This next call involves the basics of art…sketching.  Take a look!

I typically only post once per day.  Any more smacks of double-dipping of your time and inbox space.  I get notified everytime someone unsubscribes from this blog, and I am sincerely sorry when I found out that an artist has decided that AAAD isn’t something they want or need or have time for.  So, I am self-conscious about double-dipping… except in ice cream, of course.

So why double-dip today?  Well, I am also self-conscious about straying too far from bringing you the art deadlines and opportunities that are the whole purpose of this blog.  Last Monday I posted a housekeeping blog, earlier this morning I posted the Artist of the Year blog, and tommorrow I unveil the first Featured Artist of 2011.  That is three non-deadline posts in 8 days.  I just have to break it up with a little opportunity!

In 3rd grade, I took “European Art Lessons” for one hour per week.  They weren’t like sauer kraut, foie gras or kidney pie that immediately hint at their origin.  I never figured out exactly what made the lessons European, but I did learn if you overwork soft pastels, you will end up with a brown mess.  They were worth their cost in wiener schnitzel.  I hope this next Call will inspire you to create some un-brown work.
