Color Fun

"There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun."

- Pablo Picasso

First Blue Monday

Blue, but you are Rose, too,
and buttermilk, but with blood
dots showing through.
A little salty your white
nape boy-wide.  Glinting hairs
shoot back of your ears' Rose
that tongues like to feel
the maze of, slip into the funnel,
tell a thunder-whisper to.
When I kiss, your eyes' straight
lashes down crisp go like doll's
blond straws.  Glazed iris Roses,
your lids unclose to Blue-ringed
targets, their dark sheen-spokes
almost green.  I sink in Blue-
black Rose-heart holes until you
blink.  Pink lips, the serrate
folds taste smooth, and Rosehip-
round, the center bud I suck.
I milknip your two Blue-skeined
blown Rose beauties, too, to sniff
their berries' blood, up stiff
pink tips.  You're white in 
patches, only mostly Rose,
buckskin and saltly, speckled
like a sky.  I love your spots,
your white neck, Rose, your hair's
wild straw splash, silk spools
for your ears.  But where white
spouts out, spills on your brow
to clear eyepools, wheel shafts
of light, Rose, you are Blue.

Merry Christmas!

Colorful Saturday

"Enertainment and art are not isolated. Entertainment is in art like color is in pictures."

- Martin Kippenbergen

Psychedelic Sunday

"He bag production he got walrus gumboot

He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker

He got feet down below his knee

Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Come together right now over me.

He roller-coaster he got early warning

He got muddy water he one mojo filter

He say 'one and one and one is three'

Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me."

- Come Together, The Beatles

Enjoy your Day!



Sampling Warhol

Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet. - Andy Warhol

Designer Ivy

I came across these crazy ivy plants that decorated an entire street as if they were fashion designer and the trees and walls their models. When they pull away from the walls, they create art works.

The trees are God's great alphabet:
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene.
~Leonora Speyer
