lost in TRANSLATION

What you do if your grocery option were cut by 90%?  I recently read an article about the single largest threat to independent or regional grocers being small-box discount stores like Dollar General, Family Dollar & Dollar Tree.  If you groceries could only come from one of these sources, can you imagine never eating fresh meat or vegetables again?  Virtually every food you would consume would be pre-processed, significantly so.  Nothing you ate would be as it exists in nature or even one step removed.  My mind is really blown by that idea.  It scares me.  It that scenario, I would have to put my own health into the hands of the food processing industry.  How does that sit with you?  Yeah, me neither.

I live less than 5 miles from a regional grocer and another 10-15 miles from large-box retailers like Kroger, Publix, Walmart & Aldi.  As much as I would like to buy local, my local grocer doesn’t make stock decision or employ pricing policies that allow me to make the best menu or the best financial decisions.  Currently, Aldi gets the bulk of my formal grocery dollars.  I want to make foods based on fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood & diary –as close as I can find to their natural form as possible.  If I eat poorly, I want it to be by my choice.

A similar desire prompted by media change.  I wanted to work using supplies and/or products that I could find easily, or make myself if necessary.  At the time, I was contemplating significant rural travel that would have made art supply deliveries less convenient. I’ve always been a closet painter, but always acrylics.  Acrylics led me down the path to acrylic mediums, and then my supply load quadrupled.  I slowly made my way to watercolor.  Purchased paints last long periods & arrive in compact containers.  I can make both paints & paper with very few supplies if necessary. Finished work can be stored flat, pressed.  Small amounts of water can be found anywhere.  It took me a long time to commit, but I’m here and I’m in love, naturally.

This next Call in interested in seeing your nature-oriented work.  What do you have to show in this well-established gallery?  Take your time, research the history of this show & venue and the curatorial choices that have shaped this space.  Could this be a good fit for you?  Check out this Call for Entries from Slow Art Productions for Arte Natura 2019 at the Limner Gallery (Hudson, NY). $35 entry open to all media and all artists.  Take a look…

WATER you up to?

It feels like it has been raining forever and may just never stop. Ever. I’ve never had a green thumb, but my grandmother tried to teach me the basic.  I remember almost nothing she taught me except leaves turn yellow when you over water, and nothing is more exciting than the burst of the seed pod of a touch-me-not.  So, while I can grow herbs on a windowsill, my dream of having a sustainable farming endeavor is a lost cause.  But many of my friends are out there trying only to eat what they grow.

Realistically what do you grow end the land of never ending rain?  Apparently taro thrives even in water logged conditions for up to weeks at a time.  I could live on taro chips, right?  Maybe not. Luckily I can still canoe to my local grocer.  The rain is also making me hyperbolic, ha.  I could paint the rain, I suppose, or gather rainwater to feed my watercolors for this next landscape call.  I then I could use the prize money to buy aquaponic supplies.

Check out this Call for Entries from Art-Competition.net for Scapes 2019. $20 entry & no shipping.  In addition to cash prizes, there are also marketing benefits.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Saturated

Learn more about the Saturated An Eye for Color exhibit from the Barrett Art Center! oh, KALE no!

Somebody help me love kale.  I want to love love kale (in some other manner than deep fried kale chips, ha)., but I just don’t.  If I’m gonna eat a leafy green, I’m gonna choose spinach every time.  Give me arugula or chard.  Meanwhile, organic kale was 99¢ a pound this week.  It is a gorgeous color though.  I’ve been toying with making my own watercolors.  Maybe THAT is how I learn to love kale.

For years I worked in black and white, and I loved the big, bold graphic nature of that work.  But, color.  Color has turned my work around.  I fell so in love with color that I changed media after TWENTY years.  Like any grade schooler, I get that yellow + blue = green.  But, when you find the right gambogue hue & add just a touch of thalo blue, you get to watch them bloom into a gorgeous shade of peacock.  This newly found watercolor magic gives power & voice to what I tried to represent literally with typography and b&w symbolism for all those years.

I’ve tried to be more transparent over the past weeks about my own “which” & “why” & “what” questions because I am hoping my answers will help you formulate your own questions and discover your own answers.  The Barrett Arts Center is a “yes” for me.  Beautiful venue, great jurors, superb curatorial history, excellent resume builder.  I have been working on a piece for months that would be the perfect piece to enter.  If I can just keep myself on track to finish, I am entering this one.  Do you have color you want to strut out like a proud peacock?  Then THIS is a great call.

CUCUMBER and berries

Between granola and smoothies, I am on a constant hunt for decent fruit.  This time of year, it is a challenge.  The strawberries are horrific, fibrous little lumps. Bananas are great for smoothies but don’t dry well without sulfites.  Cucumbers & pineapples are rocking my smoothies, but FRESH fruit is a struggle. (Yes, I can hear how that sounds.)  Blueberries have saved me lately.  They are relatively cheap and work in cereal and for pancakes & smoothies.  If anyone has recommendations on how to dry them, I’m open to ideas.  This next Call wants your blue solutions…

So why do you consider this online gallery, art publication opportunity?   Well, here are some questions:  Do you need a low risk, low cost way to test new, experimental work? Are you looking to drive traffic to your website and create organic content for social media posts?  And, there’s the grant money.  Do you want the opportunity to be awarded grant money? ha. Is this opportunity right for you?  Only you can know. The deadline looms VERY CLOSE — January 7th.

COLD complication

As winter approaches, I am more & more distracted.  I buy a handful of pantry items for single recipes.  For example, I use canned cream-style corn in one indulgent corn pudding recipe and buttermilk only in cornbread.  But, the problem arises because they look like similar items in the cupboard –anything canned or my regular milk.  You only have to put buttermilk on one bowl of cereal to not want to make that mistake again.  My solution? Organization. A simple letter or two scrawled on the container top has stopped me from wasting time and food over and over again. 

In the studio, I am always walking the line between organized and over-planned.  My instincts run toward scheduling, pre-planning, color-coding and efficiency.  But, I also know that when I over plan, I have guilt when I stray from my original design that sometime keeps me on a path (that often isn’t really working) longer than I should.  But if I don’t schedule at all, I end up procrastinating, the stereotypical downfall of beret-wearing artists in movies everywhere.  This next Call is a perfect example.  I love this publication.  It is gorgeous.  The art is phenomenal. Even their Insta feed is fun and inspiring.  I keep thinking that the right work to submit will speak to me.  As a result, here we are a year or two later, I’ve managed not to enter yet.  So, let’s make a plan, be organized; enter early…

real SMOOTH

I have pureed everything today.  I made black bean soufflé early in the day to go with the slaw-topped taco my husband made later.  I cooked & pureed extra beans to put up in the freezer as a soup base for next week.  Lunch was delivery pizza.  Our mid-afternoon snack was  a mango-peach-guava-banana smoothie.  While my husband made apple-pepper slaw for our tacos, I processed a half-bushel of apples for applesauce.  I have washed my food processor four times today. (Just a reminder, no dishwasher in my house.) I am trying to keep busy

I mean, I did finish framing a commission while I am waiting for THREE past-due notifications. I need mindless busy. How do venues take our money and not notify on time? Why not just under-promise? Why not five themselves and extra week then surprise us all with an early notification? Of course, my imagination and insecurities ramp up to a 14 & I begin to assume that I haven’t gotten an email because I have been rejected, or,  that I was so bad that I didn’t warrant a response. When left with too much time to dwell on it, I start to become paranoid like an 1990s sitcom and wonder if my phone is working or if email is out-of-order. Ridiculous. So, soufflé, soup, smoothie & applesauce.  Noisy. Delicious. Busy. 

This next Call is screaming my name.  I’ve not been interested in a lot of galleries lately because I am looking to build a very specific profile for my resume.  I am trying to patiently wait for the academic & publicly funded shows I really want.  But I am digging this space.  There are a number of great art hot spots in New Mexico, like Satan Fe.  In fact, New Mexico is on my new short list of relocation possibilities.  This gallery supports a reassuringly diverse art aesthetic and range of media.  I like the unapologetic nature of this Call too.  I’m hoping to get my crap together & enter.  Let me know how it sounds to YOU.

Check out this Call for Entries from Keep Contemporary (Santa Fe, NM) for New Contemporary.  This is a great looking venue that also includes “….artists who have a limited voice in an otherwise conservative art market”.   I want to show here; how about you?

chuh-chuh-chuh-CHIA

I’ve often spoken of my emotional eating & closeted love for junk food.  I occasionally comfort myself with the notion of artisinal junk food like lovingly, hand-made beautiful doughnuts.  But, truth be known, I have an ugly Totino’s habit.  I admitted here in writing once about 5 years ago, but as I push spinach salads and chia seed smoothies like a health food pimp, I like to believe that no one holds me accountable for my addiction to frozen pizza.  (You can find the complete ingredient list here, OMG, assuming I can convince you I only eat the cheese variety. *lying*)  I have faith in my better instincts, but I admittedly have worse ones too.

A lot of people have gut instincts about shows.  Some artists are completely turned off by the concept of online shows.  Some artists only want to show where they can hand-deliver work.  I try to evaluate opportunities based on how they fulfill MY current needs.  I don’t need resume fluff right now, so I am submitting to fewer shows and just trying to get the work DONE. I get asked about online galleries all the time, and whether or not they are scams.  The easy answer is “sometimes”.  You & I both need to submit work to shows that WORK for us.  So what are the pros to online shows?  I like them as a great way to test new, experimental work.  they help me see how I stack up against other work in a more objective atmosphere than the bubble of my already engaged fan and peer base.  Online shows can drive traffic to your website and give you organic social media posts.  Online exhibits can force you to create themed work that gets you out of rut or unstuck.  Depending upon the venue, they can help you reach a different audience.  And, there’s the prize money. Is this opportunity right for you?  Only you can know.  I have faith in your better instincts.

Once they are placed into a specific arrangement and then captured in paint, ink, pastel, photography or any other medium – the objects take on a whole new meaning. They are imbued with a life beyond the ordinary. Their existence becomes recorded in time. The objects chosen for a still life painting often have a special meaning, either on a personal, cultural, societal, religious or philosophical level. The themes surrounding the artwork often provoke introspection and reflection in the viewer. The way that the objects are depicted can evoke a wide variety of emotions“. –art-competition.net
