I hate to follow up a discouraging post about gun violence with a Monday Blues story but this is one irritating Monday.  We all have them.  I spent an hour with a computer operator at RU trying to get rid of some wierd announcement I get when I try to go to the site.

After a full hour of back and forth and his manipulation of my computer he said they were having a short and that was the last word I heard from him.

If he doesn't try to call me back it will be a little hard not to think he was making that up because he just couldn't solve the problem.  I will wait and see.  Now I have to log in to all my sites with pass words I have a hard time remembering.   This is not fun.

I have to go see about a rather sudden growth on my forehead later today and, to modify an old hit song, all she wants to do is paint!

 

Cheers, it really is Monday!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Yesterday we were discussing music after church.  Our organist is great!  She also plays the piano and the guitar and was trained in voice!   I always thank her after church because I know how much work goes into music.  I play my piano every day.  Clyde has studied music more than I have and is familiar with the historical  development of the art.  He can play the guitar very well but doesn't read music.

We were talking about singing and how hard it would be to sing really well.  A singer can't drop a note the way pianists can and get away with it.  Clyde said that he would be dropping notes right and left and everyone would be headed for the door if he sang solo.  I don't think anyone is considering asking him to sing.

I hope to get to the second stage of this painting today but I might have to wait until tomorrow.  I wanted to present the first painting in my new Gallery, Stages of my Artwork one more time!  The internet is certainly great in many ways. 

I am so pleased to be able to offer prints of my work in different layers.  There are so many of them.  It would be crazy to try to upload all of them but I am going to upload the last layer of each day I spend in the studio on each painting.

Check it out!

Also,  the VSO Foray in Franklin County, Va starts today!  Come on out and join this great, important birding effort!

 

The VSO Foray this year is in Franklin County, Virginia June 6 - 14th.

Information on nesting birds in Franklin County is scant. There has been only one previous foray that covered a small portion of Franklin County in 1976. The only other organized breeding bird study in the county was the Atlas Project, 1984 - 1989. This is a great opportunity for participants to contribute to a better understanding of nesting birds in this part of Virginia.

Evening gatherings will be at Ferrum College. For directions to the College click here. Specifically these will start at 5 pm each evening. We'll meet at the gazebo beside Adam's Lake on the Ferrum campus. We'll wrap up around 6 pm, and make plans for the next day as needed. Todd Fredericksen will have a cook out at his home on the evening of June 9th. I'll post directions soon for how to get to his home.
Some general reminders:

We won't call in birds for the foray counts.

 

Don't enter private property without permission, and be sure to call ahead when we do have permission.  Thank the owners for letting us on their property.

 

Don't skip "boring" areas (towns, farmer's fields, etc.).

For more information contact Clyde Kessler, the coordinator of the 2015 Foray, at ckessler@vt.edu or call 540-639-5076 (before 9 PM).

 

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Once a week we eat fish.  Clyde hates fish.  Alan and I like fish very much.  The other day Alan and I were discussing the fact that I mostly buy salmon. Fresh salmon is great but we also like cat fish.  There are others I like but Clyde can't stand them.

Alan and I were trying to decide which one we liked the best when Clyde said he thinks they should all just keep on swimming.

I am still not sure what I want to do next.  I have so many ideas for new works that it is hard to decide.  I have a lot of ideas for new Blue Ridge paintings but I think I want to do another Kendall Expressions painting right now.  I miss oils but I am having a great time exploring acrylics. 

Anyway, to the studio!

Here is my latest Suggestion painting.  I am real proud of the color accents.

Life with The Word and Bird Man

We like to watch Judge Judy.  I like it more than Clyde but we both get a kick out of her antics and some of the cases are hilarious!  So far, knock on wood, we have not had to appear in court for any disputes.  I would never appear on TV in a court case but I have read that these people get paid a hefty fee to have their case tried in front of ten million viewers.  No wonder they appear there!

Anyway, the other day two litigants cracked me up on the way out.  It was a couple that had split up and the woman was arguing that the guy stole her TV.  He said he paid for it.  Judge Judy ruled in favor of the guy and on the way out their comments were perfectly audible.

You are a liar!  You are going to Hell!

See you there.

I am very pleased with my latest Kendall Expressions painting!  Tulip Curl is a stunner!   I love letting my expressive side fly and am very proud of this series!  Be sure to check out the folder on my website. 

I am thinking of combining two of my artistic directions into another wildlife painting.  It will be a very expressive painting combined with the softness and complicated surface of my mountain series.  I hope to be started on it tomorrow.  I have to prepare the paper and get my idea finalized!

Life with The Word and Bird Man

I have been married to The Word and Bird Man for many decades and my status on Facebook clearly states that I am married yet I get boy friends just about every day sending me flattering notes.  I like to joke around about my new guys with Clyde.  I'm sure most, if not all of them are scammers as I have mentioned before, but since it is possible that some are sincere I have come up with the perfect comment.

It is great to have you for a Facebook friend but I do not chat online with people that I don't know personally due to the presence of internet scammers.  Read my posts and I will read yours!  Have a great day!

Nine times out of ten this works and I don't hear from them again but there sure are some persistent guys or scammers that try to convince me that they are great guys.  I don't send them a comment but it is hard not to send this one.   READ MY FIRST MESSAGE!
