The Cycle


Original digital realistic art entitled “The Cycle” by: rob kistner © 7/24/23
 

Evaporating
misting skyward
engorging the clouds

raining
penetrating thirsty earth

or joining a river
a lake

perhaps the ocean

persistent
seeking its natural way

breaking any futile bounds

returning always
to repeat its origin cycle

this is ever the will
and way of water

    1. Thank you Dwight. Yes, I cannot draw worth a shit, but I have been able to design most of my life. I began doing CAD design back in the 80’s,, and in the 90’s, as Photoshop (first released the day after my 43rd birthday) expanded its capabilities, with tools and plug-ins that became available for that app, I learned more and more how to expand from design into abstract and surreal art. As the digital support parameters expand over the years, so have my capabilities with digital art. I have had examples of my digital design and art on my site for a number of years. Just scroll down the left channel of my Image and Verse site and you can explore my design and my art work over the years. I absolutely love creating it. At this point in time, and with my increasing physical challenges, poetry and digital art are the only two creative arenas left for me. Owing to the advancing arthritis in my hands, I am no longer able physically to do my mixed media work — such as my Serenity Totems. In the past two years I have improved my understanding of, and my ability to write chain command and prompt codes to digitally extrapolate my core art, which has elevated my digital work considerably. Also, as I’ve further grasped the final enhancement power of the tools within, and available for Photoshop, my joy of visual creation has soared. “Image” has always been the first word in the title of my website.

  3. The (dao) way of water, indeed! I love that Joni-Willie cover of Cool Water. I have that album and every song on it rocks with Joni and her special guests.

    1. Thank you very much Ron. You are most astute my friend. Two things one cannot do, you cannot prevent water from seeking it’s own level, and you cannot herd cats. 🙂
