I don't have a lot to say today.  I couldn't paint because it is just too dark.  My Daylight Fluorescent lights aren't good enough when it is very dark. I can't see the warm colors well enough so they would be too strong if I worked this morning. It is still very dark. I hope I get some light tomorrow.

I want to add my latest floral to my website and include it in my newsletter.  It has been quite an experience.  I am very pleased with how it turned out considering I was quite discouraged in the beginning stages.  I just have a little more to do.

Life with the Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Nothing from The Word Man today but I did make him smile with this Bible joke I saw on Facebook today. 

One of the people on Noah's ark asked him where she should put the bees.  In the Ark Hives, of course. Don't groan too loud!

I wonder what he would have said about mosquitoes. Go find a arm to bite?  LOL!

I have finally got to the finesse stage of my latest floral and am so pleased to be done with most of the work.  I love what I do but it does require a lot of time and discipline.  I am going to work on another Blue Ridge overlook painting that I have a good idea for that resulted from the ones I recently demonstrated on Youtube.  I have a lot of photographs from the Parkway to work from but I think I am going to ad lib a lot on this one.  I may just base it on some ranges and then go from there. 

Anyway, I am so glad we voted yesterday.  I am seeing posts of lines that are a quarter of a mile long in Northern Virginia.  Wow!  We just went in to the registrar's office and got it done in a few minutes.  I think it is great that people are voting early and making sure their vote counts. 

Also, very pleased to sell another print of one of my most popular paintings, Canoes at Mountain Lake to a great Texas patron.  This is the setting for the hit movie Dirty Dancing and we have vacationed there twice!  The natural lake practically emptied but it seems to be filling up again!  Hope to go there soon!

Life with the Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

What a strange year for someone that has spent countless hours researching birds and butterflies all over the Blue Ridge and surrounding mountains. 

This time of the year he is usually leading hawk watches up at Rocky Knob.  Now his hawk watching post is Back Yardica. 

He is the president, founder, recording secretary,  and only member of The Backyardica Bird Club. 

He sure has seen a lot of hawks lately!

Well, we went to vote at the Registrar and the parking lot was completely filled and the surrounding streets were also clogged. We will try again on Monday.  We have until October 31st to vote at the Registrar and we want to vote early. Such an important election and we are worried about sending a ballot in by mail. 

So pleased to sell another Skyline Beauty painting to a great California patron!   I have used many different approaches to this series and some stand out more than others to me but DC Burst stands out a lot!  I was very pleased with the electric look my brushwork gives this exciting city! 

I will never forget seeing Godspell at Fords theater many years ago. 

Be sure to check out my latest Youtube above.  I forgot to put it in the last blog.

Not much to say today but plenty to do in the studio.  I am immersed in my latest painting.  It has such an intense atmosphere.  I love to work with florals and this one is coming along very well. 

I am also getting to the end of cleaning out the studio and that is a big accomplishment considering every thing else I do every day.  I am looking forward to getting to the bed room next.  Lots of sorting that needs to be done there. 

One small thing every day and eventually the work gets done!  Have a great weekend!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Working Away on Latest Floral

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

My latest youtube is below that link.

Still working on a floral that is coming along and bursting with color contrast.  It is soaking wet right now so I will have to wait to get to the final layer.  When I say layer I really mean final stage. All of my paintings have many layers in each session, including the ones I demonstrate on Youtube.

I am very pleased with the comments of appreciation for what I do on my channel!  I try to switch around a lot so viewers can see all my different approaches to my artwork.  I am especially pleased with my latest demo of a Blue Ridge sunset that was started and completed in acrylic paint. 

With the exception of some skyline paintings that include mountains I don't think I have any blue ridge paintings in acrylic until now. It was a great experience to use a medium that dries quickly so I could get to many stages in one day.  

Sometimes I feel like a magician. I can get so much of a demo painting done in about twenty minutes.  The key to that ability is many decades of practice.  I can't remember the exact quote but I am pretty sure Houdini once said that anyone could do what he did with forty years of practice.  That applies to art too. 

I know I could not paint the way I do now when I was young.  Lots and lots of practice.  When people buy my artwork they are paying for my costs, my time, and my unique expertise that was developed over decades and is still developing.
