Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Back to Full Strength

 Well, I had the second Moderna shot and thought I was going to be one of those
that don't have adverse symptoms.  I was fine until eight hours later I started a low
grade fever that went up to 102.6.  Yuck. That was a miserable night.  

Strange that it takes so long for the reaction to kick in.  My husband was sick after an hour or two and was sick for three days.  I am back to full worhaholic strength. Hope I
don't have a relapse.

Check out a favorite lake painting and the video I uploaded yesterday and Cheers on a weekend!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More Florals, and That is only Day One!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

I still can't get the music added to my Youtubes.  I think they are much better with music but when I add it my voice disappears.  I do follow the directions to slide the bar to the left to favor the original audio but I still can't hear my voice. 

Oh well.  My current painting is still coming along.  Sometimes they do not present too many problems.  I hope this is one of them.  Here are two more favorite florals!

Prints on Paper or Canvas and Greeting Cards Available at  KENDALL KESSLER ART

Radford Library Grounds is a section of the sloping hill that is on the back side of the library in Radford City, Virginia. The trees provide beautiful colors and textures to the hill and the wildflowers are great accents. There are a lot of cultivate flowers as well in different parts of the property. It is a beautiful setting for my favorite building in the city.

Flower by an Ecotone  Original 20" x 30" Acrylic Painting   $1230

Prints on Paper or Canvas and Greeting Cards Available at  KENDALL KESSLER ART


Flowers by an Ecotone is a beautiful, colorful wildflower scene by a wooded area. This is an exceptionally serene work that draws the viewer in. I have always been happiest in secluded areas and spent much of my time in the woods near our home and at a beautiful creek when I was a child. It is no wonder that I married a dedicated naturalist.

 

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I am trying to find some time to read books.  I used to read every night before going to bed and I am trying to get back to that.  The other day I brought home a huge, very heavy book titled The History of the World.  The title was in big letters and when my husband saw it he said,  "And that's just Day One!".

As I have mentioned before my husband read an entire set of Encyclopedias when he was a kid and his memory is incredible so now that I am trying to increase my knowledge of History I can ask him to clarify certain things.   His answer is usually very informative and funny!  I told him he really ought to write a history book entitled A Book of Clyde.  I think it would be a best-seller!

Here is another great Cherokee animal legend from Lowell Kirk's online publication, Cherokee Myths and Legends!

The Uktena is a great snake with horns on its head and a blazing crest that looked a diamond on it's forehead.  It is as large as a tree trunk and  has scales that glitter like sparks of fire. It has rings or spots of color along the whole length and is considered to be a great prize to catch.

It can only be wounded on the seventh spot from the head which is where the heart and life of the animal are located. The blazing diamond is called Ulunsut'hi which means transparent.

If a brave wins the diamond, he is considered to be the greatest wonder worker because the light dazzles the hunter and causes him to run toward the snake.

Life with The Word and Bird Man  - Clyde Kessler

Age is relative. I have always wondered about people that think forty is ancient.  It  all depends on which side of the big 40 one is on.  Anyway, my husband and I would not be considered young by most people and we are starting to have a few memory problems.

Yesterday I mentioned a few memory problems that were bothering me.  Later I told him there was another age thing I wanted to mention but I forgot what it was.  He, of course, said you just proved your point!
