Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my  Youtube! Hope to have a new one tomorrow!I  am real excited about my new large ocean painting that I am basing on a lot of memories.  I spent a lot of time at the beach and on the Chesapeake Bay in my early years and I have a lot of beautiful pictures in my head. 

This painting combines several of them and I will present it in layers for print sales and then the final will be available for purchase and prints!

Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

I had an old cell phone that was good enough for me for a very long time.  People hardly ever contact me by phone for artwork.  They send an email.

No internet, phone, etc.

I finally updated by phone to an Android that has been driving me crazy.  I finally have it working right after I had to get a replacement.  The first one was really messed up.  My brother with a doctorate in Computer Science had a hard time setting his up. 

Anyway, when I swipe an icon there is a water sound.  I told Clyde that I think it sounds like water because it knows it may end up at the bottom of a lake some day.  I am tempted at times to send it there.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Not going Crazy and What?

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

You really have to love painting to put up with the aggravation.  Sometimes it is so difficult and then I remember that I don't let them drive me nuts and just keep going.  My portrait of my husband is bugging me big time and I may have to alter the whole thing.  I am not going to scrap it but it does have some problems that must be worked out.

I can't explain most of what is bothering me but another artist would understand.  I need to get to the end and put it away.  It is amazing how most of my paintings improve greatly with age.  They are just like people that you love.  No matter how old they get, they still look great!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

The other day Clyde was telling me about some symptoms that seemed like menopause.  Hot flashes and other things that we women go through.  I asked him if he was going through Manopause.

He said no but he was sure he was going through Stupidinfinity.  The stupid never ends.  Just keeps going.

Not true, but it is a cute joke!

I am so looking forward to swimming in Claytor Lake today!  I have been in three times this summer and hope to get there many more times before the end.  Summers really do fly and winters walk as Charles Schultz said in one of his Peanuts comics.

Between the weather and all my work it is difficult to get there but I try hard to find the time.  Got to swim!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

When Clyde and I were first married I was very conscious of weight control as I have been most of my life.  I was worried that I would start to lose the battle of the bulge so I made sure I exercised every day.  One day as I was working out in our bedroom Clyde was lying down eating some vanilla wafers.  He looked at me and said, "Lose a calorie for me!"  Now, that would be great if someone could work out for you and you could just lie down and eat!

Some genius needs to work on that one!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Happy Patron, and Heave them out the Door...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!  I am editing another one today!

https://www.youtube.com/user/Newriverartist

 

I live to paint. I really do and it is great when I find homes for my originals.  The patron in Richmond emailed me to say the painting is perfect, looks better than the listing, and my packaging was perfect!  I love to hear all that since computer monitors are all set up differently.

I order greeting cards of my work once in a while to check on how the work looks online. So far, I am doing a great job.  Still, that doesn't mean the viewer is seeing exactly what I have uploaded so it is great to hear from happy patrons!

I am also an amateur pianist and I love to play my piano every day.  It is hard to find the time but I usually can get in a decent amount of time.   I am concerned that my fingers are not as good as they used to be. They don't hurt, so I don't think I have arthritis, just some stiffness from age.

Oh well,  I can still play and enjoy it very much.  I was adding my music to my Youtube videos but that got to be too time consuming and Youtube has great background music!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Ants, ants, ants.  They were having quite a party in the bedroom. Now they have adjourned to the bath room again.  I put out the drops and a queen dies but others must take her place because they are all over the counter once again.

They snub their noses at me and give me dirty looks because I haven't put out any drops today.  We are getting low on the stuff and Clyde is not sure he can get more.  I think a friend gave him this bottle.  Guess I will have to go online for more.

I am about ready to pick them up one at a time and heave them out the door!  See how fast they come back in for drops after that.

Where is that Time Fairy?  My days are getting shorter and shorter and it has nothing to do with the sun.  I have so much to do each day that it is mind boggling.  We are all always saying we wish someone could add hours to the day.  I wonder, if someone could actually add hours to the day, would we gripe even louder?  Probably.  Cheers!  Got to move on to the next task!

Clyde works in Government Documents at a library so he is up on all the latest docs and also keeps track of various books he would like to order.  Today he is ordering Advanced Fossil Fuels and their effect on the Environment.  That may not be the exact title and I don't want to call him again right now, so we will go with that.

He said sometimes he feels like an advanced fossil.  Me, too.

Now if I could just find the loose hair that is tickling my arm I will be a happy fossil!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I live with two great guys but when it comes to housework they remind me of horses with blinders on.  Trotting along not noticing anything on either side.   For many years I made sure the trash was emptied well before it overflowed.  It never occurred to my two guys to take the trash out so I thought of a plan. 

I decided to let the trash pile up high and then one of them was sure to notice and empty it. 

All that got me was a "Why don't you empty it before it gets so high?", as one of the guys helped me with the trash mountain.

I explained my plan hoping he would take the hint.  It didn't work so I decided we could all take turns and I would ask the guys to take their turn.  That worked fairly well.

Well, the other day my ruse of letting it pile up worked!  One of the guys looked at me and said he was going to take out the trash!  Yes, I didn't have to ask!

It's a housework miracle!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Another Suggestion Painting, and The Computer Attacked Me!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I am trying hard to stay away from another Blue Ridge Mountain painting until I get started on my portrait of Clyde.  If I get involved in another landscape I won't be able to concentrate on the portrait.  Once I get it started then I can work on some other new ones.  Right now I am working on more Suggestion paintings.  They are done in one studio session so I can free myself up to get the portrait going as soon as Clyde can sit for me.

Below is my latest!  I am very pleased with the color modulation in Sun Burst!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

If you have read many of my blogs then you know I often get exasperated with the computer.  It is a great machine but it is also very irritating.  Sometimes I am tempted to chuck it right out the window but I know it would creep back in and expect me to fix it up.

Anyway, the other day I called Clyde at work to tell him I had a hole in my pants and a bleeding gash on my leg.  Not a very bad one but it was bleeding!  The computer attacked me!  Okay, I was about to sit down and slammed my leg in to the table it sits on.  I have never done that before and since computers have minds of their own I insist on blaming it for this mishap. 

I think it has heard all of my gripes and decided to strike first.  LOL!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Young boy Paintings, and Visit to Mabry Mill...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Another one of my son's first friends was Paul.  They are still friends and see each other at the Bowling League games.  Paul used to live on our street but moved away a few years  ago.

When Alan was very young I made this painting of a small boy walking through the woods.  It was loosely based on a photograph of someone else.  I changed the way the boy looked so that it was not a portrait.  

Alan insisted it looked like Paul and he wanted to visit my studio every day to look at the painting of Paul.  I decided to name it "Like Paul".  There is a strong resemblance.

Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

I enjoyed my short trip to The Meadows of Dan with my husband on Monday.  I have never painted Mabry Mill and I wanted to get a number of photos to work from.  Such a beautiful place!  I highly recommend this beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway site!  Such a peaceful, lovely place and there is a great restuarant there as well!
