Come on out and see us do our thing!

Tuesdays we get take out from a great Chinese restaurant that is fantastic at cooking broccoli. I don't know what they do but other restaurants don't compare!

Once in a while it isn't great but sometimes the broccoli in the stores is a little bitter so there isn't much they can do about that.

Clyde said maybe it had a hard life and that is why it is bitter.

Argh! It is a good thing I love puns or my poet husband would have to write himself into a corner and stay there.

Lot of ideas on what to do next! I still have more ideas for Blue Ridge Parkway paintings, my favorite work, but it is time to take a break. I still want to do at least one more oil painting before I have to order more white.

I am considering an egret. I didn't marry the Bird Man for nothing! He has taught me a lot about birds which is why I know what an egret is. Anyway, I did get the studio cleaned up - well a little cleaned up - okay, I still need a bulldozer but I can walk in almost every part of it now! It is my messy home away from home in my home. Time to get back in there.

I haven't heard a crazy funny from Clyde lately so I called him up to goad him into something. There is a cute one going around about how a guy wants to stand outside so he can say he is outstanding.

Clyde's response was, well don't lock the door behind you with the key inside.

Not bad for a Monday. I don't think I need to be outstanding. I probably would forget my key. Cheers! on a cloudy, cold day!

Clyde likes to watch super hero dramas. Some of them are not that good in his opinion but he still watches them when he is too tired to read and just wants to relax.

Just for fun I mentioned to him that he should be the next super hero on TV.

He said people are not ready for a crazy superhero spouting poetry as he flies through the air trying to save the world.

It was just a thought!

I am so pleased to sell another print of Richmond on the James to a great Virginia patron! A great Richmond VA patron owns the original! I am anxious to get back to more sky lines as soon as I finish with my latest Blue Ridge Parkway paintings.

I am on the third stage of my latest Blue Ridge Parkway painting and it is coming along! They are always a struggle but the arm wrestling match is going my way this time rather quickly. Yes! This one is 20" x 16" and I hope to have it on my website soon!

Yesterday Clyde said Warren Buffet is going to give him millions! I said since this one isn't from Africa or Asia maybe it is true!

He said yes and the Easter Bunny is going to kiss Santa Claus and shoot at all the pumpkins flying by.

I don't think Warren Buffet is sending us any money. Just a hunch.

Clyde and I talked with his publisher yesterday and everything is full speed ahead for his book, "Fiddling at Midnight's Farm House! I am looking forward to seeing the finished version and selling it on Amazon. Clyde will be traveling for a lot of readings.

Still hard at work on new Blue Ridge Parkway paintings and I am so pleased with how much attention they are getting, especially Porter Mountain in Fall! It has only been up a week and there are 400 hits on it!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I mostly count on Clyde to come up with something funny that I like to post here, and that happens quite often. He is not always happy about how I quote him and the other day he said he can't make jokes anymore, I am worse than a reporter. Of course, that comment had me running to the computer.

He just can't win. I am always there looking for some funny to grab! Is that marriage or what?

I called Clyde to see if he thought what I wrote today was funny. He liked it. I said you never know. Charlie Chaplin wrote about how sometimes his movies would crack up one audience and then get hardly a snicker from another one.

Clyde replied that maybe some audiences are sober and others are not.

With that remark I will stop. Have a great day!

I am getting so many hits and compliments on my latest Blue Ridge Parkway paintings that I decided to paint one more. This one will be 20" x 16". The other three are 14" x 11". I can hardly wait to get started! Sometimes I wish Clyde were not an artist, too. Then he could do all my promotion and paper work like Whistler's girlfriend.

Oh well. We will be talking to the publisher about his book this evening that has a bunch of my illustrations so I really shouldn't complain!

The other day I thought I was coming down with something. I felt a little warm when I woke up. When Clyde called I told him I may have picked up a bug.

He said drop it.

You can't drop germs.

Sure you can, but they pick up five more.

Then why are you telling me to drop it.

To make you laugh so you can cheer up.

Bye.

I finished all three of my current Blue Ridge Parkway paintings and will upload them all. I am especially pleased with Porter Mountain in Fall. This painting has the most complicated system of brushwork I have ever used in a painting. This is a hard concept to explain but since I also play the piano I often try to explain art with music. If you like music with a lot of notes and chords then this painting is for you!

I always try to look for humor and there certainly is a lot of it on the internet and Clyde cracks me up almost every day. I have several funnies from him that I will post but today I have one from Google + that we both liked.

Someone posted a great looking dish with beans and eggs and the caption was for viewers to enjoy a great vegetarian meal. The only comment was, "Mmm! Where's the beef?"

Here is another one. Becoming a vegetarian is a Big Missed Steak.

No offense to vegetarians. We all need to laugh at ourselves. There are zillions of artist jokes out there! I have spent my life listening to how artists are all crazy. Just because we are is no reason to point it out all the time! LOL!

I am real happy with my latest Blue Ridge Parkway paintings! Painting is always a crap shoot as I have mentioned before. We think we know what we are doing but it is always a mysterious process that incorporates what we are aiming for and what happens along the way.

My last three have been quite a ride and I am almost done. I will probably paint one more Parkway painting before getting back to some skylines and abstracts.

I am real pleased to sell another print of one of my most popular Yin Yang paintings to a great German patron! Glad they are appreciated!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I am staying out of the conversations about the result of the election but I am saddened by what is going on. People know right from wrong but many are using the election as an excuse to do wrong things.

I saw a comment on Linkedin that could apply to either candidate so I won't get into trouble if I discuss it here. The member said one of the candidates left a rich lifestyle to help this country while the media has told nothing but lies about this candidate.

Clyde's response was that any person that believed that must be living in a hole with a computer that does not have access to news sites.

I would have to agree. I have seen a lot of documentation in the media that looks and sounds pretty iron clad to me regarding the faults of both candidates.

Just saw a cute computer joke. Caution. This machine has no brain. Use your own.

I mentioned that to Clyde and he said well that makes two brainless things in the computer room. Is he talking about me or him or both?

I see a lot of comments on the internet that are gripes about Math. I don't agree. We would be in sad shape if engineers didn't know their algebra and the convenient devices we use would not exist without complicated systems of Math.

Anyway, there are a lot of fun Math jokes on the internet. I called Clyde to tell him the one about how it is a shame parallel lines will never meet since they have so much in common.

His reply was break the speeding limit and you will know all about how parallel lines meet when the cop pulls you over.

Love it!
