BUTTER bomb

Can someone explain margarine to me?  It tastes terrible.  It is chemical laden.  It is approximately the same price as butter.  So why?  Butter is so fundamental to my cooking and baking that I cannot imagine substituting margarine.  I have a friend & peer that is on a ketogenic diet, and she puts butter in her coffee.  Butter is fundamental, folks, just like drawing which is the theme of this next Call.  Take a look…

FOOD

My favorite restaurant as a kid had tables covered in butcher paper & bowls of pencils & crayons. I had to be forced to stop drawing in order to eat my dinner.  Just imagine if I could have had dinner with Victor Nunes.  Check out these drawings with walnuts (left). Check him out on Instagram & Facebook for more drawing with food.  This next Call wants your drawings, but the food is optional.  Take a look…

2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about 2013 Artist of the Yar Sima Schloss!

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014!  I am joyfully looking forward to a new year.  2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD.   There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking.  And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists.  Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Ignorance vs Ignorant, Mixed media, by Artist of the Year Sima Schloss!Today we name the 
2013 Artist of the Year!

• 

When AAAD began in 2009,  I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART.  And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

Never an Equinox, mixed media, by Artist of the Year Sima Schloss!

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013)  ArtAscent.com, and my work  ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!!  I have a group show in the works coming this Spring  (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods?  Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you?  “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven!  I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note:  I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle.  They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima.  I am inspired by your work.  It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness.  I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship.  YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year!  Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined.  She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Merriam Parks & Recreation for the 16th Annual Heartland Artist Exhibition at the Irene B. French Art Gallery (Merriam, KS).  A reasonable entry fee, great awards and low commission.  This could be ideal for some of you…
