Male Phainopepla — Grunge Art by kenne
Most phainopeplas spend the summers feeding on insects up in the nearby mountain only to return to places like Sabino Canyon feeding mostly on desert hackberry, wolfberry, and desert mistletoe berries.

Red Hat Girl (Joy) — Photo Artistry by kenne
I don’t remember much about this photo
other than I liked it a decade ago and
that it a very low-resolution image —
it was blurry.
I was recently looking back at old photos
found this one and decided to create
more artistic image and why not,
the subject is beautiful.

Water Above Sabino Dam — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Yesterday was cloudy to high-clouds day in Sabino Canyon. I was down around the creek and dam area taking fall and wildflower photos. One of the photos was a reflection on the water above the dam. Once the image was on my computer, I flipped it and began to use layers and brushes to create this surreal painting.
A watchful eye
may have you feel
disoriented,
hallucinatory, or
in a dream —
yes, it’s a
irrational reality.

Sycamore Canyon in the Santa Catalina Mountains — Photo-Artistry by kenne
In a tangle of cliffs I chose a place —
Bird paths, but no trails for men.
What’s beyond the yard?
White clouds clinging to vague rocks.
Now I’ve lived here—how many years —
Again and again, spring and winter pass.
Go tell families with silverware and cars
“What the use of all the noise and money?”

Hot days and rising water

Two-Tailed Swallowtail Butterfly Entering a World of Color — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Color possesses me.
I don’t have to pursue it.
It will possess me always, I know it.
That is the meaning of this happy hour:
Color and I are one.
I am a painter.

BOOT: Anthropomorphized
There are some simple decisions to make:
are the eyes on the outside
or on the inside?
How thick is the skin?
What kind of strings are attached?
How tight are the stitches,
how sturdy the soul?
Such accidents will determine
the way it walks through the world,
the way it holds the memory of mud.

Art is much less important than life,
but what a poor life without it.
