Images For Android Phones: A Painting In A Gallery

A painting
In more than one color
Where everything comes to life

A touch of red
A splash of blue
A hidden purpose
So true

A museum full of beautiful light
The sounds of our chatter
Throughout the day and night

In awe
In silence

It’s what the artist thought that matters
Escaping something here
Finding something there
… and
Renewing all with his mind
An abstraction so fine

It’s beautiful you know
What he has found
With the palette knive
Pressed in silent sound

Shaping
Forming
… and
Teleporting
This gallery space
To another far-off place

It’s art when you see it
Art when you feel it
Art when you know it
And art when you love it

A painting
Of light and shadow

A painting
In more than one color                                                                                                                                                                                             Where everything comes to life

A touch of red
A splash of blue
A revealing purpose
So true

Images For Android Phones: A Window In A Dark Room

Painting in one color
A black as dark as coal
So dark it feels endless

It’s time to pick another color
Or look out a different window
Catch a thought or two

See things in another light
As the room collapses
Like falling cards

Entangled with the other’s calling
Like the dream that’s always falling

The blue sky outside
And my blurry eyes … blinking
Can’t save me from inside
The dark room in which I reside.

looking over the horizon
along the railroad tracks
i wonder where
… in silence
this train will take me
it’s lonely here
… in isolation
not unlike
a place
i used to know

I Keep Standing On The Corner Waiting On My Own (A Robyn Remix)

The city series….

On the corner, on my own

some things feels like destiny…

some things never change

standing on the corner

waiting on my own

never knowing which direction

I should go

it’s all for show

you know

waiting on the corner

with nowhere to go….

Weekly Movie-Making Moments In Film: HBO’s Girls and the Video by Robyn – Dancing On My Own

A moment to enjoy a little TV, finding creativity in the work of others….

So I am watching the third episode of HBO’s really cool new hit show “Girls”. During the ending credits, the song showcased is “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn. Okay, I don’t know if I am in the know or not (too much ambient electronic music) but I had never heard of Robyn prior to this song. Where’s my MTV when I really need it? But I digress, this song was way too cool. And when I watched the video, I was totally caught up in the strong, dynamic visual moves of her dancing and the editing with the live club dance scenes. And have you ever considered how interesting it is, when watching a rather good show or movie, the song or songs, during the ending credits can make all the difference? It keeps the mood going–bringing back the emotional pulse of the film. Last year, I was very much into HBO’s “Making It In America” and there was an episode that featured a group of the show’s characters biking after a roof-top party. Through the streets of New York City they trekked—at night. Now that is the way you live in the city. Which reminds me … I miss Philadelphia, the painting parties with artists and the late midnight runs with my boyz Trash (10 miles in 1hr 45 mins, in our twenties). But again I digress. At the end of the show the producers came up with another hip song to keep the flow. The song was “Midnight City” by M83. Pulsating, hip, cool. And yes this band I had heard of before (“Too Late from the CD Saturdays = Youth).

Music can make any art form feel prolific and elevate its content and mood….

I really like the programming on HBO. Everyone I am sure is familiar with their big hit “Game of Thrones” but I really do suggest you give “Girls” a look. And although “Making It In America” is not currently available on HBO demand, you certainly can get a hold of it.

Enjoy the video clips….
