I almost hit my head on the Car Port Ceiling!

Please click on my Youtube!

 

My neighbor used to have a bunch of very yappy miniature Dobermans and then they were gone.  Now they are back and I almost hit the carport ceiling yesterday when I got out of my car and one went Napoleon on me at the fence.

 

They sure like to make up for their size by the loudest bark!  They are cute, though.

I just hope I won’t be saying the opposite tomorrow.

I Keep Smiling! Painting will never Drive me Nuts or are those Famous Last Words?

For a painting that started off great, this one is really grinding me down.  I am not giving up, just arm-wrestling away!  I don’t want to claim victory and retreat but it has been rough. 

Like all artists say, they sure were easy when I first started painting.  They get harder and harder as you go but I love to paint so there is no stopping now!  Look out studio.  Here I come!

That is When you Know you are Not Farsighted…

Please click on my Youtube and send it to Stumbleupon!

Last night at my son’s bowling league I was looking at his score from a distance and became very confused.  He was on the 10th frame and it looked like he had a 6 and a 2 and he picked up the ball to bowl again. 

I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t done and then the third ball became a spare.   Then I realized that 6 was a strike!

 

I am definitely not farsighted.  Just need the reading glasses.

Dreamscapes

About a decade ago I began having dreams in my sleep of paintings I had never seen before. They look like mine but are less distinct and seem to wave. They also have less contrast and a lot more blue than my other work. A few years ago I decided to try to put some of these on canvas.

I rarely have those dreams now but when I do the paintings are by someone else in the dream. How strange that I would invent paintings for other people in my sleep!

What a fantastic experience!

I especially like the flowing motion in this painting.  The flowers and leaves move around the space much in the same way that the lines and colors in the cloth do.  It is a feast of color!

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

This morning when my husband called me to get me up I was so tired that we had a strange conversation.  We can’t get certain organic items here so once a week he picks up some things at a store where he works. 

I know you want tomatoes but what about cabbage?

We still have some from last week.

I didn’t see any.  Where is it?

In the refrigerator. 

The refrigerator?  I never thought to look there.

Ha ha!  Wow am I tired.  Maybe I put it in the dryer.

Okay and I’ll check my sock drawer.  It must be around there somewhere.

 

Do you think he might have been a little sarcastic?

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist and Seize the Day? Is there a way to Nail it Down?

Please click on my Youtube and send it to Stumbleupon!

 

I have been trying all day to get a blog done but this day has shot by so fast I am looking at all the things I needed to do in the rear view mirror! 

My husband had a weird suggestion.  He noticed I still have my mallet and chisel from a sculpture class I took a long time ago.  Maybe I can pound or carve it into a better day that doesn’t fly by? 

Like I said.  Weird suggestion, but what else would you expect  from The Word and Bird Man?

 

The Mushroom Picker   Original 32″ x 40″ Oil Painting $2580.00

The Mushroom Picker is a languid view of a mushroom picker at Pandapas Pond in Giles County. This is one of many sites that my husband, Clyde, researches for birds and butterflies. On one of his excursions he came upon this man and took a slide of him which I used for the painting. The light in this scene was intense and flickering though out the bank.

It looked like it was dancing around the figure. 

 

My Turn  Original 20″ x 19″ Pastel Painting    $790

 Prints on Paper or Canvas and Greeting Cards Available at   KENDALL KESSLER ART

 

My Turn is a delightful pastel painting of a toddler watering flowers. I love to watch children.  They are in a world all their own.  It is no wonder they like to believe in fairies!  The flower garden is on the edge of a woods and the cool foliage colors beautifully accent the warm colors in the girl’s hair and clothing. I live to paint but I also work in pastels and other mediums.

I am very proud of my American Artist Award from famed pastelist Daniel Greene.

More People Paintings

Sometimes I like to paint people that I don’t know in an intensely expressive manner.  The vendor here is bathed in coloristic light and strong cool shadows. 

 

Vendor   Painting Not For Sale

Prints on Paper or Canvas and Greeting Cards Available at  KENDALL KESSLER ART

 

Vendor is an expressive, colorful look at a street vendor in a parking lot. The color contrast makes this painting an especially eye-catching work. My work is unique to me but it harkens back to both Impressionism and Expressionism. This painting is one of my more Expressionistic works like the work of Edvard Munch, one of my favorite painters.

 

 

Intensity   Painting Not For Sale

Prints on Paper or Canvas and Greeting Cards Available at  KENDALL KESSLER ART

 

Intensity is my most expressive portrait. The color contrast and strong brushwork make this an exciting visual experience. I love to push warm/cool color relations and get them to sing. This painting is a great example of that concept. The man is lost in thought but not oblivious of his surroundings. The shadows add to the expression and emphasize the value patterns that connect the space.

 

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 

A few days ago a bear was spotted in downtown Radford!  This certainly doesn’t happen very often but the incident inspired my husband to come up with his own report!  Leave it to my husband to turn a scary event into something funny!

 

Early this evening a bear was sighted running a red light in downtown Radford. 

It is supposed that it was late for a fraternity pledge or a movie.  No police officer  bothered to stop it for a ticket.

I love all the arts and will see a ballet this Sunday!  I can’t imagine the discipline it takes to be a professional dancer.  I love my Line Dancing class but it is just for fun and exercise.  To dance for a living!   Wow!
