Layers Of Pixels   Leave a comment

Autumn Plants Down By The Wash — Computer Art by kenne

Layers rise,
a quiet geology of thought,
one over another.

Filters shift the air—
suddenly the world
tilts into a dream.

Even pixels
carry the weight of silence,
carry the hand of the artist.

Day of The Dead   Leave a comment

Day of the Dead — Computer Art by kenne

The Day of the Dead—it’s really the days of the dead. All Saints’ Day,
The first of November, also called the día de los angelitos—

Everybody thinks it’s Day of the Dead—but it’s not, not exactly.
This first day is for those who have died a saint

And for the small innocents—the criaturas­—the tender creatures
Who have been taken from us all, sometimes without a name.

To die a saint deserves its day, to die a child. The following day,
The second of November, this is for everybody else who has died

And there are so many,
A grandmother, a father, a distant uncle or lost cousin.

It is hard enough to keep track even within one’s own family.
But the day belongs to everyone, so many home altars,

So many parents gone, so many husbands, so many
Aunt Normas, so many Connies and Matildes. Countless friends.

Still, by the end of the day, we all ask ourselves the same thing:
Isn’t this all over yet?

Arizona Fleabane & Bee (1 of 1) art blogHoney Bee On Arizona Fleabane — Digital Art by kenne

my nature photos
masking layers of art filters
creating my art

digital painting
colors become transparent
blending together

i have become a
digital photo artist
uniting my hands

whatever my tools
technology empowers
the will and desire

i seek to be good
i seek to communicate
not to be perfect

i seek the duende
to find my kindred feelings
in all that i do

Dark Matrix of Matter   Leave a comment

EPSON MFP imageGlass Cactus Blossom – Computer Art by kenne

Last night I tossed in my sleep

something in a dream

was unreal, artificial, 

everything made of glass —

no hammers allowed

swinging in the dark

matrix of matter

not directly observed

just it’s gravitational effects.

Joy and Kenne in Bisbee, Arizona — Computer art by kenne

On a porch one afternoon
at the Copper Queen Hotel
after a discussion with the
ghosts from the days when
copper was king in Bisbee.

I took a selfie of Joy and me,
not the best photo, but good
enough to use Photoshop
filters and brushes to give it
a classic Hopperesque feel.

Of course, you may not think so.
He was a realist known to fix a
particular moment full of human 
qualities and frailties, often with
a degree of self-absorption.

Cooper's Hawk Art DSC_0847 blog.jpgMixed Media Collage — Computer Art by kenne

16

Cold Mountain is a house
without beams or walls.
The six doors lift and right are open
The hall is blue sky.
The rooms all vacant and vague
The east wall beats on the west wall
At the center nothing.

Borrowers don’t bother me
In the cold I build a little fire
When I’m hungry I boil up some greens.
I’ve got no use for the kulak
With his big barn and pasture —
He just sets up a prison for himself.
Once in he can’t get out.
Think it over —
You know it might happen to you.

SUBSTITUTED BY ANOTHER   1 comment

 

SkylineDriveArt-Recovered blogSkyline Drive In Shenandoah National Park — Computer Art by kenne

SUBSTITUTED BY ANOTHER

Skyline is its name
Substitute is its game
Created for one desire
Substituted by another.

Today’s desire
Substituted by another.

Sharing good times
Squeezing small limes
Twisted for one taste
Substituted by another.

Today’s s taste
Substituted by another.

No one to contact
Love becoming an act
Time with a friend
Substituted by another.

Today’s friend
Substituted by another

Morning walk in the woods
Considering all that could
Each moment of thought
Substituted by another.

Today’s thought
Substituted by another.

Climbing up the hill
Stimulating the will
Creating the next option
Substituted by another.

Today’s option
Substituted by another.

Reality is its name
Substitute is its game
Created for one belief
Substituted by another.

Today’s belief
Substituted by another.

A Poem About Spring   1 comment

Desert MuseumSpring, 2018 — art by kenne

Maybe you need to write a poem about spring.

When everything blossoming is blossoming
and everything dead is dead
and everything wants to be fucked is fucked
it’s nature maintaining the way life was
and will continue to be as a bird calls
from the tree with new green leaves.

The Bellagio Fountains Art   3 comments

Bellagio-3325_art blog IIComputer Art by kenne (Las Vegas, February 5, 2018)

Visitors
to Las Vegas
can be seen
standing
and waiting,
some up to
30 minutes
just to see
the fountains
of Bellagio,
truly one
of the best
free shows
in Vegas, 
beautifully 
choreographed to
Frank Sinatra singing
“One Singular Sensation.”
One moment
in its presence
provides a
thrilling
combination
in every move
as the water
rockets and
dances in front
of the Vegas
Eiffel Towel.
