Well, I was going to paint but something came up so here I am hoping for better light tomorrow. I may go in after my computer stuff since it is just the first layer so the lighting is not that important. 

I have three new ideas that I am anxious to get started on. These paintings will be rather small but I may consider them as painting sketches for one or more large paintings.  I really like to work large but not too large.  Not enough room in the studio for huge ones but it would be nice to work on a big one. 

Maybe I will paint another fairly large one like Marsh View at Pawleys Island which is the painting  at the top and measures 60" x 41", but not any time soon. 

Anyway, glad to sell a framed print of Morning Stroll at Isle of Palms to a great North Carolina patron!  The patron's frame selection is gorgeous! Click on the link to see all the print options.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Like many others, we are doing a lot of shopping online right now.  It is convenient and quick but it can be so confusing.

I forget what I ordered, when it is supposed to come, and sometimes I trash emails I should keep for a while. 

One of Clyde's friends came by, dropped off a present at the door, rang the doorbell and ran away because of the pandemic. 

We have had other friends do that,too.  Can't be too careful these days. 

On the phone he and Clyde were talking about how online shopping can be confusing. 

He said if a llama shows up, I probably ordered it.  LOL!

I just don't understand how this happens every year.  I think I have plenty of time to mail Christmas cards and packages and then, all of a sudden, Christmas is ten days away.  Yikes!

I have had such a busy day that I am just going to leave the same paintings up and add a Life with The Word and Bird Man segment and call it a day. 

I didn't get to paint today but I have had a lot of nice responses to my latest Demo Youtube which is above. Be sure to check it out! I am very pleased with how this one turned out.

Lot of ideas for new oil paintings but not lots of time. Since it looks like we will be snowed in tomorrow I should be able to get one started.  I can't believe how many Downward Facing Dogs we did today in Yoga class.  There ought to be a limit in each class.  Oh well.  I am getting stronger so I will keep at it.  Got to keep the old body going. 

I hope everyone has a great Holiday season!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I know I have mentioned the cardinal that keeps on clobbering itself on our window right behind the computer. Sometimes I can tune it out but other times it is really hard to take. 

We have tried everything to stop it but nothing has worked. It is trying to scare that awful competitor in the window away. 

Anyway, Clyde said that bird is like the postman. That's for sure.  No matter what, that bird is pummeling itself.

 

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."

Still not back to my oil painting but I am just about finished with the acrylic demo one that I thought was a lost cause. So glad I did not throw it away. 

My last oil painting is in that, finished- but -not -quite -what -I wanted, phase.  I will get it online soon.  There isn't anything wrong with it. Is is very close to what I want but not exactly.  Always the carrot just out of reach.  I just need to move on and it will look much better when I am not so caught up in it.

So pleased to sell more wall art prints to patrons in Texas and Virginia!  Peaks of Otter in Fall is one of my favorite mountain paintings and Wildflower Magic is a vibrant beauty. The original resides in Richmond, Va.  The original Peaks of Otter in Fall oil painting is still available!

Well, when it rains it pours.  I wanted to paint today but we have a family emergency so we have to spend the day traveling.  While I was  fixing lunch, my favorite mug fell of the counter and slammed into my big toe causing a bleeding gash.  Nothing happened to the mug!

Last Friday I injured my back so I didn't film a Demo Youtube.  Instead I showed some recent works and got great compliments. Check it out above! I get uptight when I can't paint so I had better look out in case there is a third downpour. 

Well, all of the above was written yesterday.  What a day!  I did paint today and did my, Dodge Grocery Shoppers thing a while ago.  I wore a mask and shield since there are always people in there without masks.  It is hard to shop with a shield on since it fogs up.  I had to keep sanitizing my hands and using a tissue to wipe it off from the inside. 

I wish everyone was more concerned about the rise in coronavirus cases here in Southwest Virginia.  There are more hospital cases and deaths.  We check the stats every day. 

Anyway, take care!

I am real excited about my new painting which is a very small acrylic sunset in a marsh that I tried to paint in a youtube last week.  It was too much to even get one layer on a video and I like to keep them to twenty minutes so I got angry with it while filming and decided to abort and do a demo painting that wouldn't take up so much time. 

I said some things I shouldn't say, especially on a video so I destroyed that one.  The next day I looked at the aborted painting and thought it looked much better than I thought it did so I decided to work on it and it is just about done.

Since for a lot of my youtube videos I used cheap paint and paper it won't be for sale but archival small and large prints will be available.  I think it will be a very popular painting.

So glad to sell another print of the very popular Richmond on the James to a great Nevada patron!  This one is another Christmas ornament print.  It is great to think of my artwork on Christmas trees!  Below is the painting with all kinds of print possibilities on my website and at the bottom of the post is the painting on a Christmas ornament on Zazzle!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

 

Many years ago there was a commercial on TV making fun of Thanksgiving leftovers which I still remember. 

It was done to the 12 Days of Christmas song. 

The joke was going through all the dishes that could be used with leftover turkey and where five golden rings is, it had  Flaming Turkey Wings! We like to repeat that joke on Thanksgiving. 

This time when Clyde was eating more leftover turkey I mentioned I read that turkey is high in iron. 

According to who? The turkey farmers? 

Not sure, but it sounds good. 

Good for the farmers. That's for sure.

Time to eat more turkey.

 So much to do today that I didn't get to paint but I will tomorrow.  I am trying to just cross things off my list without any distracting moves.  My yoga teacher just about did me in today. 

Enough Downward Dogs to make anyone bark.  Lots of arm stretches which are so good for my weak ones.  I can do a lot of sit ups but I have never done a pull up.  Maybe I will try someday now that I do a lot of yoga. 

Anyway, I am so pleased to sell another print of Cloud Swirl over The Peaks of Otter to a great Louisiana patron!  I had a great talk with her on Facebook about which type of print to buy and she decided that a large canvas print with black sides would be the best for her bedroom. I am sure she will love it! She has a large print of my most popular floral, Natural Rhythm, in her Dining Room. 

Love to hear from previous buyers!

I can't remember exactly what was said, but a newscaster or celebrity was saying they always like to come up with humor for their presentation. 

I turned to Clyde and said he just has to meet you.

Of course not, love of my life!
