I am still going through my portfolio for florals to show here.  I like to use a theme on WordPress and I have a lot of florals.  Chinese Orchids is one of my favorite florals!  The sensuous surface and magenta/green contrast go together so beautifully in this work!

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

A few days ago I mentioned a bruise between my knuckles on my left hand.  I suggested to my husband that maybe I smacked him when we were asleep.  His reply was that was why he sleeps to well.  Well, yesterday I found a large bruise on the big toe on my right foot so I suggested to my husband that maybe I kicked him the other night when he was causing the walls to fall down with his snoring. 

He doesn’t snore often but when he does, look out!  His reply was that kicking him wouldn’t do me any good and definitely no damage to him.  Is that the reply of a hard head? 

LOL

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

The other day right after painting I noticed a purple patch between one of my knuckles on the left hand.  I knew right away that it wasn’t paint.  It was sore to the touch.  I do not remember doing anything to cause a bruise so I said to Clyde that maybe I smacked him in my sleep with the back of my hand.  His immediate response was  sure, that is why I sleep so well.  Joker!

Life with The Bird and Word Man – Clyde Kessler

 

“Roanoke Beauty” is a small painting of Happy Hollow Ground Park in Roanoke, VA. This painting was sold out of Towhee Hill Studio. It is a colorful, textural view of a beautiful park ground. The boards are viewing platforms for visitors. This is one of many New River sites that have been inspirations for my paintings. I especially like to find sites with flowers so I will have a lot of color interaction.

 

Now that my husband is off until 2015 ,is he sleeping in rather than getting up at 4:30?  No way.  He is still getting up and checking on the various bird and wildlife species in Radford, VA.  No matter what the weather, the Bird Man is always outside doing what he loves.  I went on just part of a Christmas Bird Count many years ago and thought I would freeze to death.  I admire these people, but it is just not for me.

I couldn’t agree more with the old saying that what is heaven to one person is hell to another.  I’m sure there are plenty of people that would like to do anything rather than stand up at an easel for hour after hour.  That is my heaven but it is a job and does take a lot of discipline.  It is just like playing a musical instrument.  You have to put in a lot of time every day to accomplish a work of art.  I love my job but I could find a lot of other things to do.  I truly do live to paint and  I will be in there soon!

Search  Original Acrylic Painting    NFS

Search is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time I saw a profile on the left side so I turned the painting into an intense girl’s face.  I am very pleased with the blue tones in this one.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

I’m sure my husband is sick of hearing me complain about computer problems. It really is not practical to drop it out the window and let gravity do the work.

I am pleased that I figured out the Youtube problem by clicking rather then applying logic to a machine with an illogical mind but now I have another problem that is driving me nuts.  I do not have the time to retweet all the people on twitter that re-tweet me.  I have close to 16,000 followers.

I have Tweet Adder which is supposed to take care of a lot of the work but when I add names to the AutoTweet section, nothing happens.  I followed the instructions of a tutorial and NOTHING HAPPENS!   I am still spending a ridiculous amount of time re-tweeting others.

 

I have asked people on one site and didn’t receive help.  If anyone here knows how to get the AutoTweet going on Tweet Adder, please let me know! 

 

Thank you!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, New Florals, and Looking for the Light again!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please check out my latest Youtube!  I am so pleased that I can add music again.  I think they are much better that way.

I have been going through my portfolio to show my florals.  Today I thought I would show two brand new ones that are part of my series, Suggestions.  These are paintings that I am doing based on an Abstract Expressionist surface.  When I see a shape I go with it and develop a colorful, abstract painting.

 

Petal Play  Original Acrylic Painting     NFS

Prints on Paper, Canvas, Metal, Greeting Cards, Pillows, !phone and galaxy phone cases Available at KENDALL KESSLER ART

 

Petal Play is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time I saw two large flowers in the position that I have them in the painting. They look like a cross between a petunia and morning glory. I am very pleased with the color in this one.

 

A Vase of Color   Original Acrylic Painting     NFS

Prints on Paper, Canvas, Metal, Greeting Cards, Pillows, !phone and galaxy phone cases Available at KENDALL KESSLER ART

 

A Vase of color is another sensuous, colorful painting from my series,
Suggestions. I am starting with an abstract expressionist surface and then looking for forms that appear in the paint. This time I saw a rounded shape at the bottom so I turned the painting into a soft focus floral. I am very pleased with the flowing, circular motion in this one.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

It has been quite cloudy lately so the light in my studio is not what I want it to be.  As I have mentioned before, when it is very dark outside the warm colors are hard to see so I end up with stronger warms than I want.  I sure do have to look for the light to work. 

I remember reading about Pierre Bonnard when he was instructing a child he thought had talent.  He remarked that they had to work before the good light was gone.

When you work with a zillion colors light is extremely important.  This is not a problem for my naturalist husband who doesn’t mind getting up in the middle of the night to catch the owls for bird counts.  The stereotype of the bird watcher is completely false.  They are rugged people that walk up and down mountains in brutal weather for accurate records.

 

I think I will quit griping about the light and get to work.  My studio is very comfortable.
