EUREKA by Ken Walker

The artist at his familiar altar,
Laptop open, pixels waiting for their marching orders.
Bored.
Regardless, determine to create, fingers move,
“Let’s see what shakes out.”
Tried and true recipe. Worked before!
One idea emerges. some abstract lines, jutting,
Intense.
Add some color, fragment their position.
Walla.
Nope.
Delete.
Add some texture, “You’re onto something kid.”
Just out of reach, a little more of this
and a little bit of that. Add a line,
why not – you like lines.
Closer.
Change the background color to blue –
ooh you like that?
Closer still
CLICK! Oops. Didn’t meant to do that, but
No wait –
Add a circle, now make it orange
Another Click!
STOP.
“EUREKA!”
Signature. Save. Upload. Done
Still…
Bored
So goes the life of the artist.
Maybe next year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ARTIST NOTE - "Sometimes when you fail to find meaning in what you've created, especially when you're not even sure you like what you've done, it's best to just be honest. This is another image in a series with poetry revealing the process of the artist - This time in a humorous, "breaking the 4th wall" kinda way. I've literally just detailed the entire process of this painting. Still bored, but at least I got something uploaded by the end of the year. And why not end with having a bit of fun. Been way too serious....."
