Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | Light and Dark
Well for the last several months, all of the art I’ve been posting has been created using a Samsung phone and the PicsArt app. In some instances, I combined older digital work, with newly created pieces. It was a challenge to work in such a small environment. But I must say, it did feel like I was walking around with a sophisticated notepad and colored pencils. Now I am happy to say that I am now sitting in front of my new Windows 8 desktop. Big screen. More processing power. And although I am now using the pre-installed Adobe Photo Elements instead of my more familiar Corel Photo Paint Pro, I am happy to have considerably more freedom to create art and the capability to write with more depth and length. I have always used Corel over Adobe, so this will be a learning curve. Here is my first entry using the Adobe software. I will be experimenting and posting the results.
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | A New Morning
a new morning
with colors of possibilities
what will I find
that will bring me
peace of mind
lost just over the horizon
are the wishful memories
and waking realities
– life is
what life is
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | A Barren Autopsy
a barren autopsy
of ourselves;
the lack of compassion
for a deep sense of lost
and stolen innocence
what do we see
when we look in the mirror
on cold December nights
but the tears of children
falling from our eyes …
As a society we are becoming numb to reason. And as a consequence, we may one day lose our humanity.
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | Last Train To The Beach
years ago
it felt like yesterday
the last train to the beach
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | A Circular Response
all too often
life brings us full circle
with a response too late
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | Last Train
The night was falling
into a distant rumble;
churning and grinding
like tearful strokes
dreaming in memories;
the sound
and the acid smell of diesel
eating away this very moment
our every gesture of things promised
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | A Simple Place To Rest
here on this sacred ground
bathed in the light of life
a simple place to rest
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | Echoes Without Canyons
an endless echo of memories
timelessly reverberating
– adrift
in a fathomless canyon
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | A Place To Find What Was Lost
an endless road of memories
a journey of searching dreams
the place to find what was lost
Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | It’s There If You Find It
struggling with that past
living with the evolution
knowing you’ve never evolved
Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections | A Lake Forged In Digital Reflection
An image that is part of my “Post Canvas and Paint” series. A surreal reflection of a lake in a place unknown. A reflective dream of ambiguity.
art and thoughts remixed | an abstraction of historical things – intro
On the beach. With memories and historical things.
I am starting a new series. Or will at least move in that direction. Lots of history to my life; some joyous moments full of magic, some of it dark and full of lost. Explored and exposed. Expressed in art and penned in prose. Remixed and reinterpreted. Image and diary.
A Link To My New Published Art Book
http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3536063 Check out my new art book. I have taken the best posts from my blog that express my love for abstract art, prose, and poetry. It is a blissful, mindful examination of all things from an introspective anaylsis. I am very excited. The book is a small square, 76 page volume hardcover. Available at BlurbBooks. Your thoughts and comments are welcome. And with the holiday season on the horizon, perhaps you will find it to be the perfect gift. Peace and Love.

that I can no longer provoke a sense of place within this …
an unstructured world, a world without end.
