Series: Recycled Wall Art - Collage #005 - To buy this one-of-a-kind piece of wall art, go to Ken's Eco-Art Gallery.  This website provides purchase information for various pictures and art pieces I've created over the past few years.

Series Background: This camera was the fifth creation for my Eco-Art series titled, "Recycled Wall Art". To learn more about this series, read the entry, Category Description.

Collage Background: Though black backgrounds seem to work well for these collages, I decided to try something new this time and sprayed the inside of the cardboard for the box frame yellow. I think it made for a good contrasting color against the black, green and bronze colored pieces. This camera was one that was using prior to the purchase of the Olympus in Collage #002.

They Just Keep Rolling Along

The combination of pictures in this Polyptych, representing old ore wagons, hay wagons, and even a unicycle, were taken at four different times and locations over the past several years. Some were taken at the Techatticup Mining Camp located in Eldorado Canyon, Nevada, some near Wilson Canyon, Nevada, and some at Silverton, Colorado. Click the picture to enlarge.

Brunch Preparations – Our House

One of the key ingredients for any good meal is a relaxing atmosphere and good presentation. So when we invited Jim Herring and his friend Patrick Adams over for brunch on 11/06/2011, we tried to offer them both. After a start of  mimosas and a fruit cup topped with a dollop of French Vanilla ice cream, accompanied by a warm fresh baked pumpkin bread, we chowed down on eggs, garlic browned potatoes, bacon, and English muffins with coffee and refills on mimosas. Here is a picture of Patrick, “digging in”.

Wall Collage #006

Series: Recycled Wall Art - Collage #006 - To buy this one-of-a-kind piece of wall art, go to Ken's Eco-Art Gallery.  This website provides purchase information for various pictures and art pieces I've created over the past few years.

Series Background: This was actually my sixth creation for my Eco-Art series titled, "Recycled Wall Art".  To learn more about this series, read the entry, Category Description Collage Background: This collage is comprised of circuit boards, keyboard wiring circuitry, and a electronic pieces from variety of electronic ‘gadgets’ including disassembled printers, computers, scanners, cell phones, camera, etc. It is all set in a three-inch deep glass enclosed shadow box. Having sprayed the inside surfaces yellow, I then covered these surfaces with the transparent circuit diagrams that I retrieved from several keyboards. The lines on these kind of represent the roads or streets within the city.  I then arranged various tan and green circuit boards to represent the ‘city blocks’, with their attached  transistors, plugs, diodes, chips, etc., being representational of ‘buildings’, ‘water towers’, ‘arenas’, ‘warehouses’, etc. One could even construe that each green circuit board represents a ‘campus’ with its ‘buildings’ surrounded by grass and the circuits themselves being the paths and walkways. It is nearly impossible to appreciate the three dimensional effect of this piece in a photograph; it has to be seen to be truly appreciated.

Birth of an Arch - Zion B&W Series #002

Zion B&W Series #002 by Kenneth Clarke: This view was taken from one of the switchbacks along UT-Route 9 that leads up to the tunnel near the top of the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway inside Zion National Park. Though at first glance this appears to be some type of cave or arch, it is really neither. It is merely the result of thousands of years of weathering which has caused the softer sandstone to erode and ‘wash away’.   To buy a one-of-a-kind original gallery wrap of this picture, go to Ken's Eco-Art Gallery.  This website provides purchase information for various pictures and art pieces I've created over the past few years.
