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.

Bluebird Painting   5 comments

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

Abstract Art by kenne

We are all hungry and thirsty for concrete images.
Abstract art will have been good for one thing:
to restore its exact virginity to figurative art.

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

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.
