Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More Suggestion Paintings, and I Can’t Print That.

 Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

I am still working hard on my Suggestions series.  It is a great experience to let a painting tell me what to do!  I also will have my third autumn Blue Ridge Parkway painting up soon.  Here are two more Suggestion paintings!

Mountain Path  Original Acrylic Painting  NFS

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

http://pixels.com/featured/mountain-path-kendall-kessler.html

Mountain Path 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 a path with trees began to appear so I made the path and trees stronger. This type of woods scene is a part of me. I spent so much of my time in the woods. It is no wonder I have a lot of this type of peaceful paintings.  

Looking In  Original Acrylic Painting    NFS

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

http://pixels.com/featured/looking-in-kendall-kessler.html

 

Looking In 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 an eye with vertical marks around it began to appear so I made it into a scene of someone looking through a broken chain link fence. I couldn’t be happier with the colors, textures, and mood in this one.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

My husband is still rather sick from a bug that started a week before Christmas.  Talk about staying power.  Anyway, he is my main source for humor so I was goading him last night.

I talked about the political party he hates.  Actually he doesn’t like either one but he does hate one more than the other.  All I got were some expressive hand gestures and colorful language that I can’t put here.

I talked about the games that he thinks are taking kids away from studying and loving the environment that he works hard to protect.   I got some rather pointed comments involving the moon with that one.

I never did get anything I can put in print so maybe when he feels better I will get some funnies I can use.

The Word Man is down for a while but he will be back!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More Floral Favorites, and Blast a Hole to China…

 Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my Youtube!  

 

Here are two more florals!  Flowers are such great subject matter for artists.  They draw you in with their beautiful shapes and colors!

Mother’s Day Gift  Original  30″ x 20″   Pastel Painting   $1230    

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

 

Mothers Day Gift is a still life I did a number of years ago. My parents sent me flowers on Mothers Day which I thought was odd until I read the card. They wrote that since their mothers were both deceased they decided to honor me that year. I turned their beautiful gift into  a striking still life. This is one Mothers Day Gift I will never forget. What a wonderful way to honor a child that has become a mother. I especially like the warm/cool color contrast due to the morning light effect

 

460  Original  11″ x 14″ Oil  Painting $313  

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

 

460 is a painting of a stretch of route 460 on the way into Christiansburg, VA. I am especially pleased with the complexity of color and textural quality in this piece. The wildflowers in the front frame the scene beautifully. The painting is in a solid wood molded frame. This is a low-level impasto painting and is colorful and peaceful.

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Clyde is still ill from a bug that is going around but that doesn’t stop him from cracking me up with his humor.  He certainly married his best audience.  I love his jokes and word play.

Yesterday we were talking about all the super heroes on TV and in movies these days.  They certainly are taking over the media.  He is not happy with how some of them are portrayed.  He says some of their powers have been wimped down. 

For example, the TV Smallville Superboy is actually afraid to fly.  Clyde can’t understand that.  What’s the problem?  If he falls he will just blast a hole through to China, drink some tea, and fly home.

I Hate it When that Happens!

Please click on my latest Youtube! 

 

A while back I was complaining that I could not add music to my Youtubes anymore.  I finally figured out that if I added it before I did any enhancements it would work.

 

Well, yesterday I made a new one and this time when I uploaded it my original track was not there.  I checked my video and my voice is there it just didn’t show up when I uploaded it.

 

Arggh!!   After I post this I will try again and hopefully have a new one.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

I really do like to add something funny here since Clyde cracks me up most of the time but this time I don’t have anything from him or me.  I have started writing down the crazy things he says to me because sometimes I don’t remember the quip. 

Lot of times he groans right after making me laugh and says, “Don’t put that on the internet”.  I do resist putting up some of them.

The other night he came up with a good one and I wrote it down.  I was surprised when I looked at it today that I didn’t get the humor.  I must have left something out so I called him up and he couldn’t remember what it was either.

Oh well, Facebook is always around for back up.  Yesterday there was a picture of a beautiful horse with a mane blowing in the wind.  The caption read, “Was she barn with it or is it Neighbelline!

Love it!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, More Suggestion Paintings, and Blast it Apart…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my Youtube!

I am still having a great time working on my Suggestions Series.  I think I will probably keep this up so I can stop myself from getting too obsessive about my Blue Ridge Parkway landscapes.  It is so easy to worry a painting to death.  It helps a lot to work on more than one painting at a time.

 

A Snake in The Color    Original Acrylic Painting  NFS

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

 

Snake in The 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 a winding form appeared to I made it into a snake. I am very pleased with the blue accents in this one.

 

 

Whatever    Original Acrylic Painting  NFS

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

Whatever 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 it took a long time before I saw any nebulous shapes and then the yellow spiral like shape showed up. I made it stronger and added two more. They could be flowers, spirals, ribbons, etc. I thought Whatever would be the best title. I am very pleased with the warm/cool color contrast in this one.

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

Computers, computers, computers!  As usual, I am on a rant which reminded me of a decision I made long ago.  I decided it would not be a good idea to have a gun in the house for protection.  As my grandmother said when she was living by herself in her eighties, if a crook comes into my house he must bring his own gun.  I agree.  I think I would probably shoot myself in the foot if I had one.

Yesterday I became so aggravated with computer problems that I thought it would be nice to have a gun to blast it apart! 

 

I guess Clydes’ advice that I have printed here before is the better way to handle the situation.

 

Open the window and let gravity do the work.

Wow!  I wrote the above a while ago and then went to work on finishing the blog and had a bunch of computer problems which proves my theory that computers have minds of their own and can read yours!

My Yoga DVD is on the Way!

Please click on my latest Youtube!

 

I have tried real hard to take care of myself.  I have fought the battle of the bulge my whole life and am still winning.  I either walk, swim, or dance every day.  Still, I am having muscle problems that are quite annoying so I have ordered a Yoga tape.  Maybe I just don’t stretch enough.

 

Hope this helps!  Cheers!
