Blue Ridge Parkway Artist has started another Claytor Lake Painting and Raisins on Top…

I started a new lake painting today and it was quite a different experience. I don’t know if this pandemic has me down or I just wanted to try a different approach to the first layer, but it really is wild.  I am hoping to get a more complicated system in color with this one from the start and it really is colorful right now. 

It was not fun.  As I have mentioned before a lot of artists talk about the first layer as fun and then it gets difficult.  My first layer usually is fun, so this is definitely a different type of session for me. 

I will see what happens next!  Painting keeps me going.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Clyde and I snack a lot, especially after supper.  Last night I couldn’t decide what I wanted. 

I like to complain about these things to Clyde because he usually has a goofy answer for me and, as usual, he did not disappoint. 

I can’t decide.  I have carrot cake, brownies, and cookies. 

Eat all of them.

All of them? You mean I should smash the brownie into the carrot cake and put a cookie on top?

Sure, but on top of that, add some raisins and call it a healthy snack. 

Yeah, right. I think my scale will disagree with you if I have that kind of healthy snack. 

I think I will get some popcorn – no butter.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased with Claytor Lake painting


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

I am very pleased with my latest painting of Claytor Lake and I am considering painting more of this great park.  This is only the second painting I have done of one my favorite places in Southwest Virginia.  This one is so close to exactly what I was after which is a nice experience, but I do have plans for a slightly different approach to my next one.  Always learning, always improving. 

As I have said over and over again it would be boring if I had a set way of painting that never changed.  My opinion.  I do think there are artists that do not change their methods and there is nothing wrong with that. 

I have to keep on progressing even though I’ll bet a lot of people don’t see that much difference, but I do, and it is an exciting process!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased to sell a print of Dominion Skating Rink


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

Where in the world did Friday go?  Way too much to do today to get to this blog but I like to put out two a week so here goes. 

I am too tired to gab and I still have a lot of work to do so I am going to leave up the artwork from the last blog except for the first one which I am replacing with a print sale of Dominion to a great Pennsylvania patron!

I miss that rink very much. When my son was young I took him and his friends there once or twice a week and I love to skate.  One time my son won the limbo contest! 

Another rink opened years later in Christiansburg and it closed due to legal problems.   I wish another one would open up.  Anyway, have a great weekend!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased with Current Claytor Lake painting…

I am at the final stage on my Claytor Lake painting and it is going well.  Usually, I am afraid my final changes will hurt what I have but this time I seem to know just what to do to get to that end.  That is a nice experience! 

I am going to paint more of Claytor Lake which is one of my favorite places in Southwest Virginia.  Lots of wonderful memories and I know that positive feeling will be expressed in paint.  I can’t explain how that happens, but it does! 

I think I am going to have to paint another large one.  The small scale is nice sometimes, but when it turns out well I am always sad it is not on a large canvas. 

Oh well.  Always an adventure!  Check out this week’s youtube of another Pittsburgh skyline painting!
