Casino Art by kenne
I’m not a big gambling guy,
so when I’m at a casino, my
only form of entertainment
is people watching, that is
unless we’re in Las Vegas.

Adds life to these dried flowers

Bluebird Painting by kenne
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
— from Bluebird by Charles Bukowski

Tucson Folk Festival (2013) — Photo-artistry by kenne
The bride kiss’d the goblet: the knight took it up,
He quaff’d off the wine, and he threw down the cup.
She look’d down to blush, and she look’d up to sigh,
With a smile on her lips and a tear in her eye.
He took her soft hand, ere her mother could bar,—
“Now tread we a measure!” said young Lochinvar.
— from Lochinvar by Sir Walter Scott

Late Winter Sunlight — Painting by kenne
“The light of winter is the poetry of patience.”
This Is Us In Chamoisee Glaze
There is, it seems to us,
A best, only a limited value
In the knowledge derived from experience.
The knowledge imposes a pattern, and falsifies,
For the pattern is new in every moment
And every moment is a new and shocking
Valuation of all we have been.
— from Four Quartets by T. S. Eliot

‘Now That I Have Your Attention’ — Norman Rockwell-style Image by kenne
Norman Rockwell’s style was an exaggerated realism–real-looking people and situations but with a hint of caricature.
I’ll never have enough time to capture all the images I’d like to.
