SPRING greens

Sweet potato pie is a family favorite. As we head into fall and the the pumpkin-spice vs no-pumpin-spice debate rages on endlessly, I’m over hear making sweet potato pies from fall all the way into Winter.  Sweet potatoes are available year ’round, take much less time to cook from scratch than sugar pumpkins and require far less added sugar.  I know you think you don’t like them, but try them.  Fall in love with them and you can be eating their beautiful orange goodness, from scratch instead of can, for the entire winter.

This next Call is centered around the mood and ambiance of winter and the work that it inspires.  Winter tends to be productive for me, but it often produces darker work, literally and metaphorically.  Are you affected by the change in the season?  This show’s call deadline is in September, so you’ll either need to pull work from last winter or predict the oncoming season.  If you’re looking for a museum show for your resume, investigate Marin MOCA, it is one of my favorites.
