Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased with Claytor Lake painting

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

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!

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!

I am having one of those experiences that many artists talk about regarding the painting process.  I was having a very hard time with my latest Claytor Lake painting and then a somewhat different approach took off!  I will never forget what my first teacher told me long ago. When it is difficult, that usually means you are about to learn something and hit a different level. 

That is what happened, but it probably won’t be that noticeable to viewers, but you never know.  I know I am happy with more complication in the surface due to a different brush stroke approach. I look forward to finishing this one and using this technique on another one! 

I really do live to paint but  I may have to cut down on some social media. It is so time consuming.  I am going to have to go over the demands on my time and reassess how I can get everything done and still have a life. 

I’m sure there are many people that have to do that in this computer era!.

 Life with Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Saw a joke on Facebook that cracked me up so I had to share it with Clyde. 

If a woman asks you if she is fat, it is not enough to say no.  You should look surprised and taking a big jump back would help. 

Of course, Clyde had something to add.  You should start with the leap back in case she is not convinced of your sincerity. She may attack!

Well, that was a different experience at the dentist. The hygienist worked for a fairly long time cleaning my teeth and then she flossed them and polished them. Of course, I thought we were done. 

Not so! She got out the pick axe again and spent a long time plowing through my teeth and gums.  Yikes!  I will remember that so I won’t be unpleasantly surprised at my next cleaning. 

Anyway, progress is being made on my latest oil painting and I received the most views ever in a 24 hour period on a youtube that I put up yesterday! Lots of great comments!
