Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Staring at the Rain and Where is it?

It certainly has been cloudy lately.  I don’t mind overcast weather but I would like to see the sun soon.  It always amazes me that when I have a patron coming over for a studio visit it is almost always cloudy.  We have an active solar house and it is a dark house on one side and bright on the other. 

A lot of my artwork is on display in the dark side of the house, not just the studio.   I turn on a lot of lights but the natural light coming in through the windows looks the best.

Anyway, I have finally started my Wintergreen sunset painting!  It is great to back to oil paint but I think I will be ordering some very expensive colors soon.  It would be great if professional oil paint was the same price as house paint.  I knew an artist that painted very large works and he would use house paint.  I can understand that!  The colors are way too flat for me and I want my work to last forever so I use Gamblin and Utrect. 

I mostly use the more expensive brand which is Gamblin but I don’t like Gamblin Cerulean Blue so I order that color from Utrecht.  I also don’t use earth colors which are less expensive.  I have a colorist palette so I order expensive blues, greens, yellows, reds, and purples.  I can get any kind of earth color from those colors and I think the effect is more vibrant.  Right now, Cadmium Red is $66 for a large tube.  I always buy large tubes. The small ones don’t last long at all. 

Okay. Enough shop talk! Time to paint.  I hope everyone has a great day!

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Clyde and I are having more trouble finding things than usual.  I usually get very aggravated and start cussing like a sailor.  Clyde just keeps trying to find whatever it is we can’t locate. 

Anyway I told Clyde the first nine chapters of The Marriage book are “Where is it?” 

Chapter 10 is “I don’t know”.

You got that right Hubby!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist Presents New Youtube and If you Hear me Crying…

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I am pleased that I managed another Skyline Beauty painting of Austin Texas!  Now I will have five for an Etsy listing.  This time I decided to use soft pastel colors.  I am getting a lot of compliments on my expressive skylines so I thought it would be a nice change of pace to use a different palette.  I am very pleased with the results. 

My first medium was soft pastels and I know how to mimic that look with paint. Be sure to check it out! 

I am looking forward to the patron that commissioned me to restore some glass paintings.  He is also considering a lake commission and will be purchasing The Lodge at The Peaks of Otter.  He has a print but he wants to get the original and give the print to a friend.

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Well, I got my new phone.  I stared at that box for a few days and then was notified I should set it up.  I can’t believe how much trouble I have with this sort of thing.  The last time the operator had to admit something was actually wrong with the phone and we had to send it back and get another one. 

I told Clyde if you hear me crying it is because I finally opened the box.  He said if I hear you laughing I will know you chucked it out the window.  As it turned out we spent an hour and a half trying to get it set up with an operator. 

After forty five minutes he assured me the minutes had been transferred to my new phone.  I tried to make a call and was informed by the phone there would be charges.  So we started over with another operator, this time on a chat.  Finally I can use the phone. 

Now I just need help getting all the stuff from my old phone transferred to the new one.  We will call a friend that is much younger than us to help.  He is not from India.  We can easily understand him.  Yikes!

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I am so pleased to be finished with the second glass painting restoration!  Had some trouble with certain colors resisting but after many layers it is completely covered and I will send a file to the patron. 

He has one more so I am looking forward to seeing him and giving him the first two.  He said the first one looked wonderful! 

They certainly are interesting paintings.  My husband said they looked like illustrations for books.  Below is the second one.

Life with the Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Clyde is always complaining about traffic.  For some reason a lot of dangerous drivers seem to find him a lot more than they find me. 

Well, yesterday I had an interesting experience I had to tell him about.  I was driving along when I noticed in the mirror a driver weaving back and forth which made me nervous.  When the driver was practically touching my bumper I could see it was a girl that kept looking at herself in the mirror and then looking down to the seat. 

I am pretty sure I have mentioned before that my brother-in-law always gets off the road if someone is barreling down on him.  He says he had better get out of the way. That guy must be on a mission for God. 

Well, I don’t usually get out of the way but I did turn off and let that girl pass because I think she must have been on a mission for Revlon.  Clyde agreed.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

As I have mentioned ad nauseam I spend a lot of time on the computer promoting my artwork.  I used to run around to galleries which was quite a chore so I really shouldn’t complain about all my computer chores, but I do.

I am always thinking about what I need to do and don’t want to do and then I am reminded that most of the chores take two shakes of a lamb’s tail.

Well, the problem is there are so many chores that I am shaking that lamb’s tail all day long.

Clyde said I should watch out.  Peta might come after me.

Ha ha.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Having a Rough Monday and Nuts and Bolts

Please click on my latest Youtube!

Monday is not starting off well. I thought I was working on a draft and instead I typed over yesterday’s post.  Oh well, like my son says, “Mondays and Tuesdays are rough on me.”

I am never using the glasses by the computer again.  They fall down my nose so I am always looking up at an angle and this morning I woke up with a sore muscle in my neck.  Ouch!  I have plenty of glasses in the kitchen and now one of those pairs will be here.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

I have been married to the Word Man for so long that I am starting to come up with some humorous sayings. 

I am always baffled with the amount of attention that is paid to small things and not important ones.  I am not going to give out examples for fear of offending someone.

Here is what I came up with.

Attention to small things rather than the big problems in our society is the  nuts and bolts of stupid and that is what makes the world go around.

Clyde had a different ending to the saying but I think I had better not print it.  “World” will do.

Sunday went by so fast.  Too much to do.  I am working on adjusting items on my portfolio and it is taking a long time.  I didn’t realize I had so little text on many of my listings.  This will take a lot of time and I need to get away from the computer.  Oh well, too much to do is better than nothing to do!  Cheers!
