Sir Realist

It's a strange impression

Persistence of Memory

makes...

a theme so grande

one would think

it should be

painted across

the ceiling

walls and

floors

even,

but actually

it's very small

not tiny,

just enough

to humor

the cynicism

of the title.

Bosch Thoughts

An invasion of little

demons in the form

of ordinary peoples

Brushes with consequences

the dying brown soil

they single handedly turned

In the mind like worms

thoughts internal churn

a cranial terrarium

The decomposing body

holds in, a moment,

very shortly after birth

Is Mona Lisa Looking at You?

Pencils don’t bend;

four minus two is two;

and Mona Lisa’s eyes

don’t follow you.

Science and math

say these statements are true,

even if you insist

she’s still looking at you.

Using computers,

measurements, and subjects,

researchers have debunked

that Mona Lisa effect.

But researchers

came to the conclusion

that the Mona Lisa

does have an illusion.

In his painting,

experts say, da Vinci snuck

into Mona Lisa a smile

that’s a frown when viewed close up.

So, pencils don’t bend;

four minus two is two;

and Mona Lisa is just

messing with you.

Starry Starry Night

Vincent stood aways from the cafe finishing his second bottle of cheap red wine, the easel stood unsteadily on the cobble stone road and the stars were so strange tonight.

He dipped the brush into coloured paint of his choosing, not what he saw, life was a phantasm anyway thought Vincent.

Tonight he would see her again, the girl, and if she did not love him he would prove his love to her.

Perhaps his brother would buy this one he painted now, for a few pennies.

Such a strange light tonight, such a strange strange light.

Perhaps

The Glass Lady

I once heard someone say that sculptures are like moving pictures. That's not to say that the pieces are alive or sentient. But that the fluidity of their third dimensional forms seem to give the audience a sense of movement. And that is exactly what I felt when I first set eyes on The Glass Lady. Made entirely of clear crystal, the life-sized figurine was the shining star of St Gerald's Art Gallery. People from all across the country came to see it, overcome by the intricacy of her flowing gown and the delicate strands of hair blowing in an invisible wind. But what truly drew the visitors attention was the woman's face. She appeared to be crying, crystalized tears running down her face. It was as though the artist had captured her in time, immortalizing her sorrow for all to see. I was enraptured. I had never seen anything quite so beautiful. Her eyes, like the Mona Lisa's, seemed to follow me as I moved. The small black plaque, where the artist's name was usually written, was blank. I remember asking the man next to me if he knew who had worked on the piece, but he too had no answer. No one seemed to know exactly who the artist was, only that they were a friend of the gallery owner's, and the only correspondence they had had with the director had been by telephone, and that they wished to remain anonymous. I stared in an equal measure of awe and puzzlement at the woman's crying face, and I remember thinking about the kinds of people who can create such beautiful art and not want to claim credit. But as I continued to stare into those shining glass eyes, I began to wonder if the sculpture was a manifestation of the artist themselves. That perhaps they too felt made of glass.

Seven Card Studs

“Cassius Marcellus Coolidge,” Mary shrieked upon entering the living room, “get those dogs off the chairs and away from that table this instant.” Startled by his wife returning home earlier than expected, Cash sheepishly replied, “Yes dear. Sorry dear.” Although today’s portrait session was cut short, this didn’t upset Cash because he had already completed most of the painting. The rest he could finish on his own later.

Digital arts

Digital arts are beautiful, they are made with electronic devices such as stylus, mouse, etc., but aren't they the modern form of a pencil, pen or brush. Everything can change, but the basics will always remain the same.
