I just don’t understand how this happens every year.  I think I have plenty of time to mail Christmas cards and packages and then, all of a sudden, Christmas is ten days away.  Yikes!

I have had such a busy day that I am just going to leave the same paintings up and add a Life with The Word and Bird Man segment and call it a day. 

I didn’t get to paint today but I have had a lot of nice responses to my latest Demo Youtube which is above. Be sure to check it out! I am very pleased with how this one turned out.

Lot of ideas for new oil paintings but not lots of time. Since it looks like we will be snowed in tomorrow I should be able to get one started.  I can’t believe how many Downward Facing Dogs we did today in Yoga class.  There ought to be a limit in each class.  Oh well.  I am getting stronger so I will keep at it.  Got to keep the old body going. 

I hope everyone has a great Holiday season!

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

I know I have mentioned the cardinal that keeps on clobbering itself on our window right behind the computer. Sometimes I can tune it out but other times it is really hard to take. 

We have tried everything to stop it but nothing has worked. It is trying to scare that awful competitor in the window away. 

Anyway, Clyde said that bird is like the postman. That’s for sure.  No matter what, that bird is pummeling itself.

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

Still not back to my oil painting but I am just about finished with the acrylic demo one that I thought was a lost cause. So glad I did not throw it away. 

My last oil painting is in that, finished- but -not -quite -what -I wanted, phase.  I will get it online soon.  There isn’t anything wrong with it. Is is very close to what I want but not exactly.  Always the carrot just out of reach.  I just need to move on and it will look much better when I am not so caught up in it.

So pleased to sell more wall art prints to patrons in Texas and Virginia!  Peaks of Otter in Fall is one of my favorite mountain paintings and Wildflower Magic is a vibrant beauty. The original resides in Richmond, Va.  The original Peaks of Otter in Fall oil painting is still available!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is in a Downpour…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

Well, when it rains it pours.  I wanted to paint today but we have a family emergency so we have to spend the day traveling.  While I was  fixing lunch, my favorite mug fell of the counter and slammed into my big toe causing a bleeding gash.  Nothing happened to the mug!

Last Friday I injured my back so I didn’t film a Demo Youtube.  Instead I showed some recent works and got great compliments. Check it out above! I get uptight when I can’t paint so I had better look out in case there is a third downpour. 

Well, all of the above was written yesterday.  What a day!  I did paint today and did my, Dodge Grocery Shoppers thing a while ago.  I wore a mask and shield since there are always people in there without masks.  It is hard to shop with a shield on since it fogs up.  I had to keep sanitizing my hands and using a tissue to wipe it off from the inside. 

I wish everyone was more concerned about the rise in coronavirus cases here in Southwest Virginia.  There are more hospital cases and deaths.  We check the stats every day. 

Anyway, take care!

Blue Ridge Parkway is Still Learning the Ropes and More Troops on the Way…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I really am behind the eight ball today but that is nothing new.  Still not happy about the WordPress changes and will use the classic version until I have time to learn the new format.  I know I don’t have a computer problem every day but sometimes it seems that way.  Another day another computer problem is my motto even though that isn’t completely true.  

I think I am doing better than I used to in regards to getting  things right. That is probably because I have spent so much time on this thing that I am beginning to learn the ropes.  I probably used two sayings that aren’t used any more but I am not sure if that is true. “Behind the Eight Ball” and “learn the ropes”.  If they aren’t used anymore then that just shows how old I am . 

Oh well.  Time doesn’t stand still for any of us.  I have my board prepared for my next painting that I am really excited about.  I am hoping to combine a number of things I have learned from my Demo Youtubes in an oil painting of a Blue Ridge overlook.  I have other obligations today  but Thursday I will begin it for sure!  Please check out this week’s short Youtube on various oil paintings and have a great day!  It is beautiful here in Virginia today.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Love my evening dishwasher.  Now that Clyde has retired he does the supper dishes and I do the morning and lunch dishes. He does a good job and I noticed he is starting to do what my Mom and I do. 

If he sees any dishes he can wash before the meal is served he does them.  Relatives used to make fun of my Mom for that. One relative teased her and said she does the dishes before she eats. 

Well, it does help a lot to clean some pots and dishes that were used to mix things. 

Clyde says he is trying to get them done before more troops arrive.  Isn’t that the truth!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Very Aggravated with this New Format and Pleased to Sell a Print of Wildflower Mist…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

 

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I guess WordPress has changed their format which is probably helpful to many but it is always a problem for me.  I get used to one way of doing things and then it is different. I hate to be a stick in the mud, but I wish they would not change site formats. 

I am looking forward to my next painting which will be a Blue Ridge landscape which is my main work.  This time it will be based on a location with some improvisations in the look of the overlook and the sky.

Hope everyone is well and staying as safe as possible.

 

Well I can’t figure out a thing in this new format.  I thought I had pressed classic editor but I guess I didn’t.  The new one kept asking me if I wanted to stay on the page when I was typing something.   Arggh! Now I am back to classic so I can get things done.  I thought I would never get used to the Wix format but I am getting better at it so I am sure I will get used to this. 

I am using the classic editor but weird things keep happening so I may have to claim victory and retreat before I pull my hair out. 

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH COMPUTER AGGRAVATION FOR ONE DAY.

Anyway, I am glad to sell a print of Wildflower Mist to a great Georgia patron!  This one will be in a nursery.  How great to think of a baby waking up to one of my paintings!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I don’t have a lot to say today.  I couldn’t paint because it is just too dark.  My Daylight Fluorescent lights aren’t good enough when it is very dark. I can’t see the warm colors well enough so they would be too strong if I worked this morning. It is still very dark. I hope I get some light tomorrow.

I want to add my latest floral to my website and include it in my newsletter.  It has been quite an experience.  I am very pleased with how it turned out considering I was quite discouraged in the beginning stages.  I just have a little more to do. 

Be sure to check out this week’s demo youtube above and Safe Grocery shopping if you haven’t seen it yet.  Experts are predicting a second wave of Covid-19.

Nothing from The Word Man today but I did make him smile with this Bible joke I saw on Facebook today.

I wonder what he would have said about mosquitoes. Go find a arm to bite?  LOL!

Well, the summer is shot.  I hope an effective vaccine is available soon.  I am going to do my research before I get harpooned.  Such an awful virus.  I have a friend that lost fourteen people to this virus.  Fourteen!!!  This is not a hoax as I am seeing some people say on social media. 

Although more seniors succumb than the young, I have seen reports of children dying of Covid.  Hopefully things will get better soon.  On an up note I am just about done with my latest floral and will be pleased to add it to my portfolio.  It truly is a color feast and I hope everyone enjoys it.

I am also pleased to sell another print of my most popular shore painting, Marsh View at Pawleys Island to a great Virginia patron!  As I have said before, I mostly work on paintings of the Blue Ridge and surrounding mountains but the shore is my second favorite place.  It is not my most popular painting.  A Break in the Clouds is the most popular painting.  I may change the heading image here to that painting, at least for a while.

I have finally got to the finesse stage of my latest floral and am so pleased to be done with most of the work.  I love what I do but it does require a lot of time and discipline.  I am going to work on another Blue Ridge overlook painting that I have a good idea for that resulted from the ones I recently demonstrated on Youtube.  I have a lot of photographs from the Parkway to work from but I think I am going to ad lib a lot on this one.  I may just base it on some ranges and then go from there. 

Anyway, I am so glad we voted yesterday.  I am seeing posts of lines that are a quarter of a mile long in Northern Virginia.  Wow!  We just went in to the registrar’s office and got it done in a few minutes.  I think it is great that people are voting early and making sure their vote counts. 

Also, very pleased to sell another print of one of my most popular paintings, Canoes at Mountain Lake to a great Texas patron.  This is the setting for the hit movie Dirty Dancing and we have vacationed there twice!  The natural lake practically emptied but it seems to be filling up again!  Hope to go there soon!

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

What a strange year for someone that has spent countless hours researching birds and butterflies all over the Blue Ridge and surrounding mountains. 

This time of the year he is usually leading hawk watches up at Rocky Knob.  Now his hawk watching post is Back Yardica. 

He is the president, founder, recording secretary,  and only member of The Backyardica Bird Club. 

He sure has seen a lot of hawks lately!

Well, we went to vote at the Registrar and the parking lot was completely filled and the surrounding streets were also clogged. We will try again on Monday.  We have until October 31st to vote at the Registrar and we want to vote early. Such an important election and we are worried about sending a ballot in by mail. 

So pleased to sell another Skyline Beauty painting to a great California patron!   I have used many different approaches to this series and some stand out more than others to me but DC Burst stands out a lot!  I was very pleased with the electric look my brushwork gives this exciting city! 

I will never forget seeing Godspell at Fords theater many years ago. 

Be sure to check out my latest Youtube above.  I forgot to put it in the last blog.

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Nothing from the Word Man today but we both got a kick out of a joke I saw on Youtube. 

Which flavoring for salad dressing has the most kick? 

Horse radish.  A big argh but I love it!

I actually got out of the house today and visited beautiful Claytor Lake with my husband!  That was great.  Too cold to go swimming but we walked around and it was so peaceful. Nice to get away from my work for a while. 

Workaholics have to be practically dragged away but it is possible to get them out once in a while.  Hope we go there again soon before the cold weather.  I didn’t get to swim there once this summer due to the pandemic.  Looking forward to next summer. 

I am pleased to sell another print of Reaching Out to a great Texas patron! Reaching Out is my best seller and I am very proud of it.

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

As I said Clyde and I got out to Claytor Lake to just look around, and, of course, bird watch.  Swimming is allowed at your own risk after the season closes but no one was there. Too chilly today. 

One time Clyde and his naturalist friends were looking for a park and having a hard time finding it.  They asked some one near the park and got directions.  The guy had a strange smile on his face as he gave them directions.  It turns out it was a Nudist Camp.  Not the park they wanted to go to.

Clyde mentioned that today and asked an interesting question.  Would they all be wearing face masks and nothing else right now?  Wow, that is a picture I wouldn’t want in my living room.  LOL! 

Saw a lot of ducks today.  They were sitting in the lifeguards chair.  I’ll bet they like the vacant beach.
