Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

So much to do today I am getting dizzy thinking about it.  I often think about Einstein's theories on time and how it can move so slowly for some people. 

My time moves like a rocket and I have to run to get aboard!  The snow sure looks pretty.  Maybe I will escape and walk in it for a little while.  That would be great! 

Winter Cheers!

Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde is a mountain man and loves his home.  He has walked up and down these mountains countless times and works hard to educate people about this gorgeous region of Virginia.

After spending two and a half hours shoveling snow yesterday he said, "You know you are getting old when you want to move to Florida even though you hate Florida more than snow.

We aren't moving and he doesn't want to buy a snow blower.  Glad the roads are clear today.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

We are still tired from out trip but you can't stop a workaholic.  I got a lot done yesterday and will do more today.  I am determined to get all my artwork, computer work, and housework done each day. 

I am tired of living in a house that is so disorganized that I have such a hard time finding things.  I am cleaning out one space each day.  I just cleaned out one of the kitchen shelves and found a bunch of things we didn't know we still had. 

The clean up lady marches on!

Life with The Word and Bird Man

I am still working hard to keep my teeth clean so I won't be harpooned  by the hygienist.  I hate having exposed roots.  I am using my kit when we eat out and are not going home right away.

So far Clyde is being very patient.  I try to move fast but my teeth are so close together that it takes time to floss them.  Yesterday I may have over done it.  I have had floss stuck in my teeth before.  It eventually melts away.  This time I found long slivers of melted dental floss in my mouth at the end of the day!  Yuck!  I didn't think that would happen.

I am reminded of a cartoon with a guy that has holes at the top of his teeth.  The dentist's comment was maybe he was flossing a bit too hard.  LOL

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, New Suggestion painting, and Another Mirror Joke...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I have started another Kendall Expressions painting.  I am using Acrylic paint this time and trying to be looser with the colors and forms.  That is always hard for me.  I am an Impressionist at heart and Impressionism is an intense, scientific approach to light and shade as found in nature. 

I am still working on my Suggestion Series at the same time.  Be sure to click on the gallery link on my website to check these folders out!  The link to my website is below in red. 

Here is  one of my latest Suggestion paintings.  Love the flowing motion and color contrast in this one!

Tulip Edge  Original Acrylic Painting    NFS

 Pillow Puff is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time a pillow shape on the right showed up so I added others for a flowing still life. I am especially pleased with the strong blues and purples in this one.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I have posted a lot of mirror jokes from the Word Man.  One of my favorites is the mirror wants to quit reflecting him and hopes it will come back in another life as a dog dish.

Now the mirror is threatening to call 911.  Mirror abuse. 

LOL!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde likes Science fiction and enjoys various science fiction shows and movies.  We still watch Star Trek re-runs.  I mostly watch them for the fun comments that Clyde comes up with.  

He has a lot of the lines memorized and notices when one is missing so more commercials can be shown.  He says that problem is getting worse and worse.  He thinks one day this will be an entire Star Trek episode.

Beam me up Scottie!

Okay, I'm beamed up.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Well, here I go again.  We are getting another computer tune up.  This amazing machine needs more attention than our cars do.  I wish it didn't have to spend so much time in the shop, especially since the shop is also my home. 

We have a great young friend to help us but it usually takes most of a day- so is this machine such a time saver or is it something we have to baby sit and burp all the time?  

I just sold a framed print online so I guess I have a lot of nerve to complain, but I do get exasperated with our computer.  I better get to work since I won't be able to most of tomorrow. 

Yikes!

Bull Mountain Near The Blue Ridge Parkway and The Radford Roosting Festival..

My Artwork

Bull Mountain    original oil painting 11"x14"     $313.00

Original for sale at      TOWHEE HILL STUDIO

Another beautiful vista off the Blue Ridge parkway is Bull mountain.  I am especially fond of the color nuances and impasto brushwork in this painting.  My paintings are done in a series of layers and I put myself into every one of them.  

The last one is the hardest and that is when I really push to express my intense feelings for nature in every color and texture.

Bull Mountain is one of my more expressive works and I will soon have it on my website for print sales. Right now it can be bought at Towhee Hill Studio on Etsy or out of my home studio by the same name.

Color Ripples over The Blue Ridge Mountains    Original painting has been sold

Prints on paper or canvas available at   KENDALL KESSLER ART

The great California patron that bought Color Ripples over the Blue Ridge Mountains also bought two other paintings.  Most of my patrons buy more than one painting.  There are many local patrons that have four.
