Stained Glass Window

This is a stained glass window.

Actually, it is a painting of a stained
glass window.

Actually, a drawing of a painting of
a stained glass window.

Actually, a pixel-generated image of
a drawing of a painting of a stained
glass window. The program opening
the pixel gates, letting the light flow,
igniting the colors.

Which is not unlike stained glass.

Which is why I like computers.

Ralph Ivy is in his 70s and he is gesturing still. Still talking, looking and wondering. He is still writing about it and drawing about it. Whatever catches the mood. It is the only way he knows to deal with life. He is an artist and he does what he does.

Object(s) to bring back to life: “Ashtrays! Always available. Waiting for elevator. Sipping coffee. Reading at the library. Leaning back in the bus. I want ashtrays! It’s hard to remain 50’s “hip” and flip a butt aside to light another – when all I get is emptiness and disdainful stares. Oh, well… (Ah, wail…) Life in America.”
