Another Fancy Gap painting on The Blue Ridge Parkway and Chickens During the Revolutionary War...

My Artwork

Yesterday I mentioned two sales of prints and posted one of them which is Color Swirl.  Here is the other one that went to a great patron in  Downington, Pennsylvania.                             .

 Cone flowers 24"x30"   $1470.00

I have done a number of Cone flower paintings and am pleased with the captivating colors and textures that draw people in.  

I don't have a favorite color since I work with so many of them.

If someone says they like blue I start to think about all the different kinds of blue and all the ranges of tones of blue so it is a complicated choice for me.

I would say I am partial to cool colors but there is nothing in this world like cadmium red light so I just have to say I like them all and I incorporate all of them in my paintings even when one seems to be the main color.  

Of course, in this painting, magenta reigns supreme!

This week I have one of my favorite florals, Natural Rhythm, on special at Fine Art America.  In these specials I offer large canvas prints of favorite paintings at 40% off the regular price. The price below the picture is the price of the original painting.

Natural Rhythm 30"x40"  $2425.00

 Fancy Gap

Here is the third painting I did from locales near Fancy Gap on The Blue Ridge Parkway.

Sunset Near Fancy Gap 30"x40" $2425.00

When I took the shot I based Wildflowers Near Fancy Gap I turned to the other side of the road to see a beautiful sunset.  I quickly took the shot before I burned my retina and am very pleased with the painting.  As always I modified it to suit my own style and the colors and textures are vibrant and exciting.

Life with The Bird and Word Man

As always my naturalist/poet husband, Clyde Kessler,  plays with words so he can make me laugh.  Sometimes he comes up with something so hilarious that I practically need oxygen.  We haven't had to call 911 yet.

If you don't like word play you may not see the humor in this one but I like it.  What do you call a chicken during the Revolutionary War?

Excited about Starting a New Blog and Enough Snow to Drown in...

 Kendall Kessler Art

I am looking forward to starting a new blog with Wordpress.  I will probably just copy the one I have here and post it there.  I am anxious to get more traffic and hopefully show up higher on Google search results!

Kendall Kessler Expressions

I am having a great time with my latest Kendall Expression of a domestic cat.  This one is in oils and I am always happiest working in that medium.  It is my favorite.

I just wish oil paint manufacturers hadn't changed white oil paint.  It takes forever to dry so I think I will go back to acrylics on the next one.  I want to work fast on these paintings. It takes over a week for each layer to dry!  Since I don't use linseed oil as a medium that is way too long.

 

Southwest Virginia Snowstorm

Southwest Virginia is covered up in snow!  Radford City has 22 inches!  My husband and son have been digging out for two days!  If anyone wanted to make a snow angel I think they would drown before they got down to a level that can be pressed.  I don't see any kids trying it.

 

Snow Stuff

The world’s largest snowflake was reported to be 15 inches across and 8 inches thick. The Guinness Book of World Records states that this giant snowflake was found at Fort Keogh, Montana on January 28, 1887.

 The most snow ever recorded in a 24 hour period in the USA occurred at Silver Lake, Colorado in 1921 and was 76 inches of snow. (#2 = 63 inches was registered in Georgetown, Colorado on December 4, 1913)


Mt. Baker ski area in Washington State has the world record for snowfall at 1,140 inches of snow in the 1998/1999 winter season.

 All snowflakes have 6 sides.

A single snowstorm can drop 39 million tons of snow, carrying the energy equivalent to 120 atom bombs!

 

Each winter one septillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000)  of snow crystals drop from the sky and that it takes about a million little droplets to make one snowflake.

Painting, painting, painting, and Waiting for help...

I am still very excited about my new series, Kendall Expressions, and am looking forward to adding my next one!  The spacing in my new one is so captivating I can't imagine anyone walking by it without being drawn into the color and textural display.  In this one I am trying to get an even more complex system of colors and textures and dynamic motion.  I hope to have it up in a few days.

We have been practically without hot water for over a week now and the system is leaking constantly.  We have a cup under the leak but it fills up every few hours.  The repair man should be here soon and I will be so glad to get this fixed!  It takes more than one minute to wash my hair!  I took my shampoo to the Aquatic Center to wash it the other day.

Be sure to check out my Special Promotions on Fine Art America!  I almost always have three paintings up at 40% off the large canvas print size!  Fine Art America has a thirty day money back guarantee which includes the shipping price!  You can't lose!
