Well, things certainly are looking up as another one of my medium sized Blue Ridge Parkway paintings was purchased by a great Washington patron!  It is so important to me to place my work where it will be appreciated. Morning Color Dance is my favorite Oil Pastel painting.

I used to argue with people that say artists are crazy.  Well, in my case I work like a maniac so if that is why people think I am crazy, then yes, I am nuts.  My latest one is taking quite a lot of time but I still have not gotten to the point where I just wish it were done.  I still want to work on it and it is coming along and the balancing act between the effect I am after and the effects that show up as I paint is working out well. 

I don't think I will be arm wrestling on this one, just a lot of work.  Looking forward to the next session.  I have too much to do tomorrow and Sunday so I will have to wait until Monday.

Not my favorite day.  We all have them and this is a very bad one for me for personal reasons.  I didn't have time to paint when the light was good but that is not the reason I am so out of sorts.  I have to endure something that I don't really have to endure but the alternative is not something I want to do, so some days are very difficult.  Oh well. We are all having a bad time with this virus so I think I will just get to work and quit griping. 

I am pleased to sell another print of Rosy Evening at Isle of Palms, my most popular photograph to a great Oregon patron and the first sale of Black Swallowtail to a great India patron!   Time to count my blessings and be happy. 

Check out my latest Youtube above. I decided to do some more Kendall Letters paintings.  I only have a few of them and the viewers seemed to really like this "A" so I think I will do a few more.  Hang in there everyone.  I think a vaccine is on the horizon.  Hope so!

Well, I knew I would not get through with my latest painting without some art or arm wrestling but it wasn't a hair pulling time, just a few set backs and I am looking forward to tomorrow rather than wishing I just played the piano and never picked up a brush.  I love to paint but it can be difficult at times.  My husband gave me a great compliment on the progress so far and that helped a lot. 

Anyway, I am still so worried over this virus and hope and pray I don't get it from someone at the grocery store that refuses to wear a mask and doesn't know they are carrying it.  I am practically pole vaulting away from people.  I am amazed at  how some people think it is over when many states are reporting a great increase in cases.

I usually stay out of politics because it has been my experience that people do not want to calmly debate issues. They insist they are right and people they talk to should just agree with them.  Well, I am going to make an exception and  comment on the current administration.  Our president should not be having mass rallies during a pandemic.  He can have virtual ones.  I think he should take this pandemic more seriously and listen to medical experts regarding the duration of this catastrophe. 

There. I said it and I am entitled to my opinion.  No one has to agree with me and I will not get into an argument over this.  Please wear a mask and practice social distancing. 

As you can see I am getting into fall scenes right now.  My current painting is a fall painting of The Peaks of Otter lodge. 

Also be sure to watch my news video above and the Safe Grocery Shopping video if you haven't seen it yet. I am going to include it for a long time. We still need to act like surgeons in an operating room.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

 

I came across a very interesting fact that made me laugh at first.  There actually is a fear of mirrors phobia.  Of course, I had to tell Clyde in hopes that he would come up with another mirror joke.  I laughed because I figured the fear was how one looks, especially if weight has been gained or hair lost.

My favorite Clyde mirror joke is the one about how the mirror wants to die so it doesn't have to reflect us anymore and come back in the next life as a dog dish.  He didn't come up with anything this time.

Spectrophobia is a fear of spirits appearing in a mirror, especially in the dark!  That's one fear I don't have and don't want!  I have enough night mares thank you very much.  LOL!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

When I am on the computer I often run into the next room to tell Clyde when I see a good funny!  I am always hoping he can add to it.  This one has a serious note to it, but it is still funny.  On Facebook there was a picture of a car with a broken back glass.  The caption was, Free Car Ventilation Service.  Leave a dog in an over heated car and we will do the rest!

 In spite of the aggravations of my current painting I still have hair on my head!  The work went much better today and I am pleased to begin work on a commissioned painting!  A great Virginia patron saw my latest Suggestion painting, Terrier Tug, and asked me to paint a red blood hound in the same style.

I will get started on that as soon as I finish this blog.  Commissions are always welcome!

Computers really suck up the time!

Preacher Tale

I'm sure there are more ghost stories out there but I am going to look into other legends of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  There are a lot of wonderful folk tales about famous people and about regular people attempting to better understand their mountain life.

A lot of them are humorous.  I especially like this Preacher Tale that I got from Blue Ridge Folklife by Ted Olson.

It seems there was a church that was separated from the people by a patch of woods.  There was a road that went around the woods to the church and there was a path through the woods that went directly to the church.

The pastor and a deacon were having supper at the deacon's house and were getting ready to go to church for an evening service.

The deacon remarked that the woods were full of bears so he was going to take the road.  The pastor said the Lord would protect his people that do His will, which is what they had been preaching all week.

He finally showed up at the church all torn up and got up to the pulpit and told the congregation that the Lord will protect you if you are doing His will but he ain't worth a damn in a bear fight.
