Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube! Hope to have a new one soon!

It looks like I will be paying to use my free software.  I should have known there was a catch.  Since I actively sell my work and do advertise on my Youtubes I can not claim the home use only category so I have to buy more software to be able to use what I downloaded for free yesterday.  Yuck!

I do live to paint but as I have said before I can't take them with me so yes I do advertise and work very hard on the computer to sell originals and prints. 

Check out my weekly specials below!  Two of them end tomorrow and the third one is up all December!

 

I also have my work on all kinds of home and office items.  A great  Canadian patron   just bought a Ying Yang Butterfly painting on a necklace!  Artwork is great for Christmas gifts!

Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

As I have said before I love all the arts and would pursue them all if I had a bunch of lives.  I consider myself to be an excellent, highly accomplished visual artist, an accomplished pianist, and pretty good dancer.

I never thought about writing until I started this blog and it has been quite an interesting experience.

Clyde reads my blogs and comments on them.  I think they are pretty good and well written so I got up my courage and asked the master what he thought.

Clyde has been published over 200 times in small press magazines and writes every day.

He said, "Well done, grasshopper!"

I replied, "But master you have never taught me the way of writing."

He said, "That is why I say well done.  You never bother the master."

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

 

The mouse in the trap managed to get out when I was out of the kitchen!  It looked like it was asleep all morning and then gone in the afternoon!  Clyde was going to take it down to the river but now I doubt we will catch it.

I am not happy with this Have a Heart trap.  Maybe it should be Have a Way Out trap.  Anyway, Clyde said it was still all morning because it was meditating on how to get out.  Well, it found a way!  Rats!

Life with The Word and Bird Man -Clyde Kessler

Computers are great in many ways but I HATE how you have to keep learning about them.  I am the perfect example of the old dog you can't teach new tricks to.  I am forever complaining about this machine to my husband who knows a lot more about them than I do.  He sits in front of one all day at his job.

I sit in front of one mainly to promote my artwork.  I live to paint but I can't  take them with me so I work hard to find homes for them.

My computer rant today is every time a site informs me of the great new changes it has made I let out a groan.  They rarely seem like better changes to me and I am always lost at first.  I get tripped up by little things I 'll bet most people are not bothered by.  I am computer challenged.

Okay!  Rant over.  Back to the good life!  Cheers!

I am still finding great Blue Ridge myths and legends of the Cherokee people!   Such wonderful, magical stories!  I was pleased that my husband was not familiar with the one I posted yesterday about the chickadee!  I actually taught The Bird Man something! 

The Origin of Game and Corn

Long ago shortly after the world was made there lived a hunter and his family on Looking Glass Mountain in North Carolina.  The Blue Ridge Parkway can be seen from Looking Glass Rock.  They had one son named Good boy. His brother came out of the water where the first boy played.  They kept him and named him Wild Boy.  They knew he had magic powers.  The father always brought home much game for the family.  They always had enough to eat.

One day Wild Boy transformed himself into a puff of bird down on the father's shoulder  and followed him to a rock.  The father moved the rock and  deer came out and he killed one to bring home.

The next day the boys went to the rock and got game but forgot to put the rock back.  The father punished them and told them now they would have to hunt for game.

The hungry boys went home and asked their mother for something to eat and she went to the storeroom for corn.  The boys watched her rub her belly to fill a pot with corn and rub her legs to fill one with beans.

They decided she was a witch and she told them that when she died they were to clear the land around the home and they would always have corn.  They didn't follow her instructions carefully so that is why corn does not grow in all parts of the world.

I found this story on the online publication, Native Languages of the Americas: Tsalagi/Cherokee Legends, Myths, and Stories

Life with the Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

As I mentioned before my husband is not able to eat many things most people have no problem with.  The tomato  is one of them but he can eat a small portion if it is cooked such as in spaghetti sauce.  I think I am becoming somewhat sensitive to tomatoes and now after spaghetti I feel like I am going to pop!

I told Clyde we needed to go on a Pasta Buster walk and he said that sounds like a rock song.  "Get outside and bust that pasta before they have to roll you out the door!"  Get outside and bust that pasta!  You know you don't need anymore!

I know the lyrics aren't much so far but maybe we will come up with more the next spaghetti night.
