Trying hard to get some things done today but Tuesdays are body maintenance day with Yoga in the morning and Line Dance in the evening.  Also, I needed to get a hair cut but I did manage to paint a little so who am I to complain?  Beautiful day that I got to look at from my studio and car.  Anxious for the hot weather.  Too cold to swim at the lake right now.  Looking forward to getting there as soon as the water and air warm up!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Yesterday I woke up with the intention of just greeting the ants as guests.  All of the food items they can get into are sitting in a chair in the living room.  What a place for a pantry!  According to Clyde they don't usually climb furniture.  He has always been right about that in the past and so far every thing is fine.

When I entered the kitchen there weren't any ants.  I couldn't believe it.  Maybe the traps worked this time.  Yea!!!!    I almost put everything back but I thought I would wait and later on there were two walking along the counter and thumbing their noses at me.

Today there was a party walking around in circles.  A Wordpress friend said to try Ajax.  I think I will put that on the grocery list.

Blue Ridge Parkway is Moving Along with Website and Getting Rich off Traps...

I can't believe that I am deciphering things on my new Wix website!   I have such a hard time figuring different site layouts but I am moving ahead.  Sometimes I have to look up instructions on Google and then when I go to the Wix site the word I need to see is, of course, not there. 

The instructions are clear but sites are always changing and aggravating me to no end.  It took a long time of going around in circles but I got the No Right Click set up so in most cases people can't steal my images.  I say most cases, because I am sure there are some clever computer geeks that can get around these protective devices. 

Oh well, hopefully people can't get prints for free.  I am going to add more work and then publish it while I add a lot more work.  Then I am going to work to make the connections I couldn't make with my website on Fine Art America.  Hope all goes well!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Well, the ant traps are not working.  The ants crawl all over the trap but don't go in.

Clyde says that is because they know it doesn't work but they are just checking it out because they have stock in the product.

But if the traps don't start working the ants are going to lose their shirts, or whatever they lose on the stock market because no one will buy them.

I guess they figure it will be a long time before people figure it out and by that time they will be rich.

What happens when they become rich?

They kick the queen out and move to a bigger ant hill.

I am real pleased to get back to another wildlife painting.  I have had such a hard time starting this one that I went back to acrylics for another Suggestions painting. I already posted it in another blog but there was a problem with the website so it wasn't available for prints.  It is there now. 

Other than a strong appreciation for nature I am not into statement art.  I am a formalist and will probably always be a formalist but a message can be read into this painting.  We all lose so much that was important to use when were kids.  The balloons that are just floating around can be taken to refer to that loss. 

Anyway, like all of my paintings, the way I handled the colors, spacing, and texture  is what it is mostly about.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I take a lot of vitamins.  When I was young I studied up on nutrition and have been mindful of it ever since. I have made some mistakes, especially with potassium.  The daily requirement is so high it is tricky to get enough.  Anyway, a while back I bought multi vitamins just for women and forgot about them.  I am working on finishing them up and just use the ones  for adults.  I noticed the women's vitamins are huge.  They are the size of a bullet. 

Clyde said maybe they are the size of a bullet because women have to bite the bullet.  Perhaps. 

I saw a cute joke on the internet about vitamins.  A guy claims he gets all the vitamins he needs at work.  Vitamin C from coffee, Vitamin D from doughnuts and vitamin B from bagels.

I am feeling real good about the work on my website.  When it comes to different sites I am like a bull in a china shop.  I keep hitting wrong keys.  I think I know my way around this one now and can keep adding work to it which will take a long time.  When I have a good number of works up I will publish the site and keep adding more.  As I said, now people won't have to wade through close to a thousand images to find originals that haven't already been sold but are available for print sales.  This will be great to put all available originals on my own website that is not connected to any other website!  Yes. Moving forward!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde is still thinking up jokes about the Ask Your Doctor commercials with the long list of side effects.  I am so glad they publish all those side effects so people might think twice about taking certain drugs.

Clyde's latest version of the warning is, this medication can give you 400 diseases if you take it.  Pick three.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde and I like to take a lot of walks through the beautiful Radford parks, especially Wildwood Park.  These days I think it is important to have a cell phone with us in case of emergencies.  I left mine in the car so I asked Clyde if he had his.  I wasn't sure if his took photos so I asked and it does. 

Why, are you going to take a picture of the mugger while he is mugging you?


Sure.  Then he can have a nice picture of himself when he steals your money and your phone.

I am real pleased to get back to some Suggestions paintings!  They are quite a trip.  In these paintings I paint in an Abstract Expressionist manner and then look for some forms to pull out.  This time it looked like balloons swirling around.  Here is the first stage which may be the last stage.  I don't have it up for print sales due to some problems with the site that sells my prints.  I keep getting an error message when I try to add something to my portfolio.  I hope they fix that soon.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

 

Time once again to add a post to the Ant Chronicles.  I have a new strategy for getting rid of them.  I am cleaning their paths over and over again with ammonia hoping that will asphyxiate them or at least make them think twice about congregating in our kitchen.  The ant traps don't work.  It sure takes a while to find all their meeting places.

This time they set up a motel in an enclosed plastic mouse trap that did not have any bait.  It is funny how you see one or two and then zillions.

Clyde says they probably have cell phones they use as soon as they see a crumb.  Last year he said they get on a horn for a shout out but he thinks they have updated their methods by now.
