“Primitive America” — Image by kenne
There was another America out there that remained unsung;
a rawer, more primitive America, where the spirit had not
been tamed by the restless machine of modern materialism.

Breaking The Cowboy Mystique Leave a comment
Bear Canyon Trail — Image by kenne
Walking the trails
in the lower canyon
with children and adults
loving the outdoors,
wanting to learn
of nature.
She gives so much
asking only that we
be good stewards
of her bounty
preserving balance
and harmony.
Seeking to break
the cowboy mystique,
by going back
to the future
rather than
forward to the past.

Desert Landscape Painting — Natural Ways Leave a comment

Natural Ways
The natural environment
is the cradle
that holds our stories.
Every story has to settle in a place
and put down roots
if it is to have any mood or gravity.
My stories are anchored in their places,
and whatever they lack in character and plot,
the vegetation is always right
and the landscape is drawn to scale.
I don’t consider the landscape part of my fiction,
but part of the fact
on which my fiction is created,
as solidly important as any of the
historical events I dramatize, or any scientific truths.
It isn’t to be played with.
I don’t put rattail cactus
where it doesn’t grow.
Life is not to be passed by in a rush.
— Tom Turner

Progress is measured
by richness and intensity of experience –
by a wider and deeper apprehension
of the significance and scope of human existence.

Art is an indecent exposure of the consciousness.
