Colour ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #175

These moments of some small artistry
Grasped upon and toyed with oh so playfully
A passing thought
Become a pleasing naught
For there is no deeper meaning here
Just some pretty colours challenging the black
Amid the balanced forms I’ve caught

An Ode to The Seven

I see The Seven
In the land
The textures
The gestures
The shapes and lines

And the colours
Oh the colours
Ever vibrant
Even this brown earth

They painted
With expansiveness
Let the grandiose
Dominate the brush

Then I
So happy
For just a hint of them
Through the glass
Held in my hand

As a photographer
I have never been satisfied with

Two dimensions
A single moment in time
Or even reality

I prefer
To create
Rather than
Record

Light is my palette
A digital file my canvas
A computer my brush

And all the world
Is beautiful data

To be transformed into art

Pix to Words ~ Volume I :: Harmony in Word and Form

Pix to Words Magazine ~ Volume I

I promised myself way back in 2015, “I’ll publish a book based on Pix To Words if I reach 500 followers by the end of the year.” I did, but I didn’t, so now I finally am. Motivated to provide something people could take home from my gallery exhibit, Harmony in Word and Form, now showing at Gallery Bistro, and also something to share a bit of the gallery experience with those who can’t possibly make it to the gallery, I present Pix to Words Magazine ~ Volume I. The magazine features most of the photographs, poetry and stories appearing in the gallery exhibit, with a couple additions thrown in.

Selfless Selfie In Between

I climb the stairs
Get turned around
Wonder which
Up or down
Light’s everywhere
Caught between
Transitioning
Where do I
Belong

Organic ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #147

Nature draws her lines
In chaos and complexity
Mathematics and some chemistry
Laws of physics yet unbroken
By laws of beauty she has written

Laws which I do well to heed
If my art is to succeed
Nature I do not exploit you
Nor wrest the brushes from your hand
It’s not my mind to alter your decision
But offer you my humble vision

Rock and Sky and Sea, Howe Sound, Britannia Beach, British Columbia, Canada

Rock to Sea to Sky

From rock to rock
Across the sea
Beneath the sky

The rugged land
A windward lee

And as the ripples
Lap the shore
The air, it riffles
Through my hair

Now calm descends
Upon my brow

My heart
In gentle rhythm
With the waves

Sun warms my face
This life like art

No better hand
Could wield a brush
Paint such perfection
On my soul
