Daily Keemo. 3.23. So Long, Cowboy



So Long, Cowboy

The Story


This is the next painting in the cowboy series. To be honest I wrestled with even selling this painting. It is the first one in a while that I really wanted to keep. I even know right where I would hang it. However, I have long thought that holding on to my own artwork prevents me from moving forward and trying new things as painter. So, dang it, it has to go. I know that may sound silly but it seems to work for me and as a painter it is usually more about the process of painting than where the painting stops but this falling cowboy has it's hooks in me. So long, Cowboy. With that... Enjoy!

Daily Keemo. 3.22 I Don't Mean The Flowery, Head-In-The Clouds Kind Of Dreamer



I Don't Mean The Flowery, Head-In-The Clouds Kind Of Dreamer
Click To View Details


The Story


My entire life I have been an insane dreamer. I don't mean like a flowery, head in the clouds kind of dreamer but I mean real sleeping dreams. The kind you have when you have a fever but I have them all of the time. They rarely make sense and often I am aware that I am dreaming or everything is so real in my dream I think I am awake. I won't bore you with the details of last night's dream because frankly if I tried to write about it, it wouldn't make a bit of sense to anyone. There was one thing or person however that stuck with me long after I awoke and that was the man who was really a reptile but was really a man and at different times he would become more of one or the other and we would have conversations and in the dream I did not think it was odd that he was like this, it was normal and our conversations where normal and I learned things from. I am going to stop there because if I go on it will make less and less sense and really the important part as far as this portrait is concerned is that it is him or it or the words we shared that is this portrait and everything else will fall into the void of nowhere only to resurrect itself on some other evening while the rest of the world is asleep...Enjoy!

Daily Keemo. 4.5.11. There Are Words And These Are Not His

There Are Words And These Are Not His

Click to view more details

There is a man and
this is his portrait and
there are words and
these are
not his.

It is late and
in daydream
I see his face and
wonder where
he went and
what world he travels in and
I bet the hole in his
heart is much bigger than it is in mine and
this is his portrait and
these words are
not his.

Enjoy!

Daily Keemo. 3.30.11. Facing Morning I Find Nothing

Facing Morning I Find Nothing

Click to view more details

There are late nights
when I find myself
walking the sidewalks and
there is no poem or paint to
be found there
but
only the visible exhale of
a person momentarily lost
in it all.

Enjoy!

Daily Keemo. 3.15 In His Eyes And He Talked



In His Eyes And He Talked
Click To View Details

The Story

There words are nothing more than just that. Words. There is no music in the air tonight. Only the sound of these keystrokes on this paper and the dog scratching on the floor by my feet and papers rustling as she goes through a drawer looking for something. I am looking for something but it is not found in the drawer. I know because I have already looked in there.

There is still only the sound of these keys and nothing more.

I think of the man in the wheelchair who asked us to get the cup out of his wheel and he had to be cold going around the city in just a t-shirt. You could see the drink in his eyes as he talked to us. As I think of him I am certain that he has forgotten about me and the cup and the cold and the talk and it all.

This is one of those that I don’t think a story is really necessary. I think this one does a good job on it’s own.

Daily Keemo. 3.6 There Are Days



There Are Days
Click To View Details

The Story

There are days
that I want to be more than
I am
and
at the end
of those days
I never feel good
about
wanting such things.

There are days
that I want to open up
the top of my head
and peer down in there
and see if
there are answers
to my questions.

There are days
that I simply
am
and everything is in
balance and it
is these days that
make the others
days
just memories.

Enjoy!
