Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased with work on Latest Architecture painting
Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
Please Check out My Story on Youtube!
I am very pleased to be working on a large painting that incorporates architecture! I have always been fascinated by architecture and took many courses while obtaining my MFA degree. One of my most popular architecture paintings is Rehoboth Beach Houses which is also one of my favorite paintings.
I have included a link to a face mask at the top of the painting.This time I am working on a painting with the Peaks of Otter Lodge that includes the lake and surrounding trees in the Fall. I am trying something a little different in my technical approach and keeping the second layer almost as thin as the first.
I think I can achieve more expression and color nuance with the large areas more modeled out in the beginning of the work. Anyway, it is always an exciting, sometimes exasperating experience and I am looking forward to the third layer where the arm wrestling will probably begin.
Cheers and be sure to watch the Safe Grocery Shopping video if you haven't seen it yet. I am going to include it for a long time.
Also, check out my latest youtube that includes paintings Morgan Fairchild bought!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
I am still practicing Yoga every day and still complaining about it. Don't misunderstand. It does great things for the body and I will practice until I am no longer around but my mantra is still I hate Yoga, I hate Yoga, I hate Yoga.
I wish I hadn't told Clyde that. I think he would benefit from practicing it, too. I have an online zoom class with friends Tuesdays and Thursdays. The other days I select 30 minute practices from Youtube. Just can't make myself practice an hour every day.
The other day when Clyde walked by and heard the Youtube teacher say, "Lift your fingers high into the sky!" Clyde added but don't hit the light bulb on the way up. He said something a week ago that I thought was funnier but I am always mindful to keep my blog PG.
Anyway, you can imagine what he said when he referred to several fingers being lifted high in the sky. LOL!

Kendall Kessler is Excited over Morgan Fairchild Painting purchases!
Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
Please Check out My Story on Youtube!
I am so pleased that the talented, award-winning beautiful actress Morgan Fairchild purchased three of my wildflower paintings! I am honored to have these paintings in her collection! She also bought face masks, a tote bag, and a t-shirt with two of the paintings on them!
Among her many starring rolls on television are Search for Tomorrow, Dallas, Flamingo Road, Paper Dolls, and Falcon Crest. Morgan also takes a deep interest in foreign policy, politics, science & humor!
She is such a nice lady! I have enjoyed talking to her. The paintings are all below and, as always, wall art prints and prints on just about anything are available. Click on the link under the painting and all the possibilities are to the right!
I have included a link to a face mask for Afternoon Wildflowers above the painting.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
I don't have anything new from The Word Man so I thought I would leave up what I consider to be a very important message for Christians.
I like to have something funny here but I saw something on Facebook that I thought was such a good definition of Christianity that I thought I would put that here. Clyde and I are Christians and we would like to go back to church but not if the congregation will be at risk for this awful virus. This bishop said it all!
From the Bishop-elect of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Missouri, Deon K. Johnson:
"The work of the church is essential.
The work of caring for the lonely, the marginalized, and the oppressed is essential.
The work of speaking truth to power and seeking justice is essential.
The work of being a loving, liberating, and life giving presence in the world is essential.
The work of welcoming the stranger, the refugee and the undocumented is essential.
The work of reconciliation and healing and caring is essential.
The church does not need to “open” because the church never “closed”. We who make up the Body of Christ, the church, love God and our neighbors and ourselves so much that we will stay away from our buildings until it is safe. We are the church."

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Still Working on Wildflower paintings and The Right Thing to do...
Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
Please Check out My Story on Youtube!
I don't have much to say today. I am glad that Virginia residents are complying with our governor's guidelines in phase one of the re-opening of our state. Virginia beach people are following the guidelines which I don't think is the case in some of the other beaches in the US. I have lived in Virginia my whole life and I am proud of people's response to the restrictions and very glad our governor is a doctor!
I am so pleased with my latest wildflower painting! It came together and it may not be perfect but it is close! I learned something about the medium ,as always, and think I will apply what I learned to a new mountainscape or some other kind of landscape.
Don't know yet but I will soon! Got to paint!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Very Pleased with Latest Wildflower painting and Porched...
Blue Ridge Parkway Artist
Please Check out My Story on Youtube!
Wow, no rain today! The New river rose almost as high as a seven foot sign at the Dog Park! It has never been that high before. What a flood!
It is great to see the sunshine today and my guys were able to take walks. I will get out, too.
I could not be more pleased with my latest wildflower painting! I know I have said this before but it bears repeating. As I told my students when they were discouraged, you will never get exactly what you want, but if you work hard you can get close. It would be boring if an artist did not have something to work towards.
Well, this one is so close! I will be fine tuning it but it really is what I wanted and, as usual, I am not certain how I got there but I balanced between control and accident, and they came together beautifully!
I will have it in my portfolio soon. Please check out my videos above and the Safe Grocery Shopping video if you haven't seen them and have a great day! Also, I have included a face mask link for Yin Yang Flow. What a wild face mask that would be!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
As I have mentioned many times, Clyde incessantly studies wildlife with an emphasis on birds. Due to the torrential rain we had for days he couldn't get out to the New River or the creeks for days.
Then he couldn't even check out the bird populations in the back yard so he studied what he could from the carport.
I had to tease him.
I never thought I would see the day that you are porched. Rain doesn't stop you but seven feet high floods from the New River has benched you big time.
Yeah. I am a dedicated naturalist but I am not about to drown for my studies.
Right. That is taking it too far.
Today he had a break but it is clouding up big time once again.
