Blue Ridge Parkway Artist was Told not to do That!

When I was a kid I would have been shot into the middle of next week if I had food in my room.  That was against the law and violators were prosecuted. 

Well, as usual I have been griping about the ant problem in the kitchen but fortunately Clyde killed a number of nests so they aren't there right now.  There is a huge army in our bedroom where I bring snacks.  I only have myself to blame for this one. 

Mommy told me not to do it but I dooed it anyway!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I live with two great guys but when it comes to housework they remind me of horses with blinders on.  Trotting along not noticing anything on either side.   For many years I made sure the trash was emptied well before it overflowed.  It never occurred to my two guys to take the trash out so I thought of a plan. 

I decided to let the trash pile up high and then one of them was sure to notice and empty it. 

All that got me was a "Why don't you empty it before it gets so high?", as one of the guys helped me with the trash mountain.

I explained my plan hoping he would take the hint.  It didn't work so I decided we could all take turns and I would ask the guys to take their turn.  That worked fairly well.

Well, the other day my ruse of letting it pile up worked!  One of the guys looked at me and said he was going to take out the trash!  Yes, I didn't have to ask!

It's a housework miracle!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Another Suggestion Painting, and The Computer Attacked Me!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I am trying hard to stay away from another Blue Ridge Mountain painting until I get started on my portrait of Clyde.  If I get involved in another landscape I won't be able to concentrate on the portrait.  Once I get it started then I can work on some other new ones.  Right now I am working on more Suggestion paintings.  They are done in one studio session so I can free myself up to get the portrait going as soon as Clyde can sit for me.

Below is my latest!  I am very pleased with the color modulation in Sun Burst!

 Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

If you have read many of my blogs then you know I often get exasperated with the computer.  It is a great machine but it is also very irritating.  Sometimes I am tempted to chuck it right out the window but I know it would creep back in and expect me to fix it up.

Anyway, the other day I called Clyde at work to tell him I had a hole in my pants and a bleeding gash on my leg.  Not a very bad one but it was bleeding!  The computer attacked me!  Okay, I was about to sit down and slammed my leg in to the table it sits on.  I have never done that before and since computers have minds of their own I insist on blaming it for this mishap. 

I think it has heard all of my gripes and decided to strike first.  LOL!

 Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

 

When Clyde got home today I had to tell him about the TV court case that made me say, "Wow!"  I spend most of my time on the computer or in the studio but I take breaks and when I do sometimes I like to look at one of those court room shows.  I could not believe the one I say yesterday.  It is so hard to believe anyone would allow that kind of story about themselves to be on TV.  I guess the litigants get paid quite a bit to appear.

Anyway, it seems a girl was suing a one night stand guy for causing a fire in her home that totaled around $1400 worth of damages.  Get this. They were out dancing when she invited him home.  She lit candles for a romantic atmosphere.  He thought she was a well endowed girl and when she took her clothes off and he could see she had been wearing a padded bra he ran out of the house, accidentally knocking over a candle that caused the fire.

Wow, now that is one shallow guy and he appeared on TV to let the world know his character.  Wonder if he will get a date anytime soon.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, A Naturalist, and Better Looking Monkey...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I am real excited about my new painting that I haven't started yet!  The Word and Bird Man is going to sit for me!  I have done a number of paintings of my favorite model but they were all based on photos.  This is going to be great!  If you have ever wondered why artists paint themselves or family members there is a very logical reason.  Family members don't charge a modeling fee.  There are other reasons as well but I think the lack of a modeling fee is number one - at least it is to me!

 Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

I have started setting up for a portrait in oils of Clyde.  Right now I am deciding on the spacing, value patterns, and lighting.  I had Clyde in there yesterday to work on the lighting.  After a while I told him I didn't need him just yet.  Still have some decisions to make.  He suggested I get a monkey to sit - a better looking monkey.  No, he is the monkey, I mean man I want for the painting!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Another Alan Painting, and Kind, Blind, and Out of my Mind...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Glad to get some rain!  We have some tomato plants and they were sagging a little.  Clyde can't eat tomatoes so I think it is real nice of him to plant them for me and Alan.  I am trying real hard to get all of my work done so I can get out of here. 

I am one of those rare girls that does not like to shop but my summer shirts are falling apart so I am going to suck it up and get to a store.  Maybe I will break my ten minute shopping record!

 Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

I love to goad Clyde because he almost always comes up with  a funny I like to post.  Laughter is very important to me and sometimes he makes me laugh so hard I have to gasp for break.  So far, we haven't had to call 911!

As I have mentioned before I have always thought Clyde was a handsome man and he still is after all these years.  He thinks I am kind, blind, and out of my mind but I don't agree.

Since yesterday was our anniversary I told him I married Gorgeous George.  His reply was then why did you marry me, too?  Ha ha!  I am not a bigamist, you fool!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, Another Lithograph, and Ding Dong the Queen is Gone!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

I have a number of lithographs that are not online so I am trying to catch up on my uploads.  All of my lithographs were done when I was getting my MFA.  I enjoyed lithography very much but the set up for that type of printing is more than I want to get into it. 

I live to paint and a lithography press costs as much as a car and I would really need another studio for all the different stages of the work. 

I am glad I still have a number of them and have hand colored some as well.  Here is the black and white version of Kitchen.

 Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler

Something very strange has happened this summer.  We started out with the biggest army of ants I have ever seen.  They would come in every day and sit around in a perfect circle around the poison drops I set out and just keep coming.  Some days there were just a few so I would put the drops out and another army would come in. 

There were so many that after a few days there were three perfect circles around the drops. I guess the ones in the back would just push the ones that were  closer away so they could get some.  It just didn't seem that the drops were working so I quit putting them out. 

Well, the other day there weren't any.  Yesterday, no ants.  Today, no ants.  I guess it just took a very long time to get to the queen so DING DONG THE QUEEN IS GONE!   Yea!
