Rainbow Rose 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 rose like shape began to appear so I made it into a many colored rose. I am especially pleased with the orange/blue contrast in this one.

Life with the Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I love to tease my husband.  It is great to get a laugh out of him and he usually has a clever retort for me.  I like to post those.

The other night I had to go out on some errands.  I told Clyde I may return.  He played along and said he hoped I would return.  I told him I would if I didn't find someone sexier than him.  Oh wait, there isn't anyone sexier so I guess I will return.

I think the groan he let out could be heard throughout Radford.  I am surprised no one called up to ask if someone was dying.

I think he was still gagging when he got up for work the next day.

What is the point of being married if you can't joke around?

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More Suggestion Paintings, and I Can't Print That...

 Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I am still working hard on my Suggestions series.  It is a great experience to let a painting tell me what to do!  I also will have my third autumn Blue Ridge Parkway painting up soon.  Here are two more Suggestion paintings!

Mountain Path  Original Acrylic Painting  NFS

Prints on Paper, Canvas, Metal, Greeting Cards, Pillows, !phone, galaxy phone Cases Available at KENDALL KESSLER ART

http://pixels.com/featured/mountain-path-kendall-kessler.html

Mountain Path 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 path with trees began to appear so I made the path and trees stronger. This type of woods scene is a part of me. I spent so much of my time in the woods. It is no wonder I have a lot of this type of peaceful paintings.  

Looking In  Original Acrylic Painting    NFS

Prints on Paper, Canvas, Metal, Greeting Cards, Pillows, !phone, galaxy phone Cases Available at KENDALL KESSLER ART

http://pixels.com/featured/looking-in-kendall-kessler.html

Looking In 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 an eye with vertical marks around it began to appear so I made it into a scene of someone looking through a broken chain link fence. I couldn't be happier with the colors, textures, and mood in this one.

 

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

My husband is still rather sick from a bug that started a week before Christmas.  Talk about staying power.  Anyway, he is my main source for humor so I was goading him last night.

I talked about the political party he hates.  Actually he doesn't like either one but he does hate one more than the other.  All I got were some expressive hand gestures and colorful language that I can't put here.

I talked about the games that he thinks are taking kids away from studying and loving the environment that he works hard to protect.   I got some rather pointed comments involving the moon with that one.

I never did get anything I can put in print so maybe when he feels better I will get some funnies I can use.

The Word Man is down for a while but he will be back!

Great Day to Paint!

Actually, every day is a great day to paint!  I am so glad I am an artist.  It isn't easy and requires a lot of discipline but it really is the road less traveled by and it has made all the difference!

 

I haven't been putting up these short posts here but I thought I would on the week-ends!  Cheers!

Sold another Original to a great Virginia patron and mega chips...

I am very pleased to sell one of my original hand-colored lithographs to a great Virginia patron!  Near the Cascades is a special scene for me.  I have lost track of the number of times I walked up to the Cascades in the Jefferson National Forest in Giles County, VA.  This is one of the views of the creek at the beginning of the two mile walk to the falls.  I have also been in the water which is very cold but it is so refreshing after the hike which is mostly up.

The original is gone but prints up to 48"x60"are available on paper or canvas, framed or un-framed and there are other versions of the same scene.  Be sure to check it out!

I am very exciting about my current painting and hope to upload it tomorrow afternoon.  I think it is the most exciting Kendall Expresssion so far! It is teeming with life and energy!

A fast food company has been advertising a mega chocolate chip cookie.  My husband's response to this is Mega Chocolate Chip equals Mega Hips.  I think he is right.  Too much emphasis on sugary, fattening carbs in this country.  We need to get out the fruit!

Working on a new Youtube and Ham for...

Hopefully tomorrow I will put up my eleventh Youtube on my new series, Kendall Expressions. I am enjoying working on paintings that are based on natural and manufactured things but these paintings are wonderful excursions into my subconscious.  My Dream Paintings folder on my websites are paintings based on paintings I see in my sleep.   In those work I tried to re-create paintings that I have already seen.  Kendall Expressions are creative leaps into my personal reactions to color and texture.  Please check them out!

 Having some difficult times lately so I can't think of much that is funny right now but I did see a slogan on PBS that made me laugh.  The Barter Theater in Abingdon Virginia is a great theater that I have been to.  It is a beautiful theater and the performance was great.  I didn't know until tonight that it was named Barter because during the Great Depression farmers were allowed to pay with farm products to see the plays.   So, of course, their slogan is Ham for Hamlet!  Love it!

I missed the first episode of the new season of The Mindy Project.  I hope my drawing was visible.  Be sure to check out the show and my drawing, Reaching Out!  I won't miss it next week.
