Well, I am back to my Skyline Beauty series!  I really enjoy this series in acrylics.  I love the way I can achieve a bunch of layers in one session due to the drying time of the paint.  I used to think that was a major disadvantage of acrylics but now I think it is an advantage – at least an advantage for how I paint.  I decided on another view of the Memphis TN skyline and am very pleased with the first stage. 

I may just tweak it and have one listing but I will see what happens when I get back to it.  I was starting with just the center area of the canvas for my Skyline Paintings and then filling it up in the second layer but this time I wanted to cover the whole canvas for the first stage.  I will be painting one more Memphis painting and will probably have two layers that are quite different.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Wow! There certainly is a massive effort to convince everyone their teeth should be as white as a piece of tissue paper.  Of course, there are lots of products to buy to achieve super white teeth.  I don’t think teeth are meant to be white as snow.  I knew a girl that had teeth so white each one of them looked like a little flashlight.  Clyde said maybe people should just put a flashlight in their mouth. Then they wouldn’t have to work so hard to get them white. 

I think I will just brush and floss.  They look okay to me.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Pleased to sell Prints of Pawleys Island Atmosphere and You just wrote it…

We are all glad to see the water go back to the New River!  We certainly got by with minimal flooding.  I am glad that I am all paid up on my Home Owners Insurance.  Funny thing.  Well, not that funny but definitely an age thing.  I accidentally paid it twice and when I was going over my statement I discovered the error. I realize that last statement is strange to a lot of people, if not most people. 

I know I can bank online but all this online stuff makes me nervous.  I just don’t think it is safe. I was rather surprised that the company cashed both checks.  I called about it and the local representative said my computer listing has a refund.  Why couldn’t they just send back one of the checks?  Anyway, I need to be more careful but I am glad it has been a very long time since I made that sort of error.  One time I put the amount for my credit card bill on the check for my phone bill.  Of course, they issued me a refund. 

I know I am not alone in saying this age thing is not fun.  I just keep on thinking of the lady in her nineties that performs on a balance beam!  Yes, we can keep going for a long time!

I am real pleased to sell some prints of the second stage of Pawleys Island Atmosphere to a great Va patron!  This time a box of greeting cards was bought!  Don’t forget that my prints are on a number of household items, stationary, clothes, and kitchen and computer accessories!  All the options are at the right of the listing!

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

I look forward to watching Star Trek reruns with Clyde.  They are on the hour before he goes to bed and I can usually goad him into saying something I can use here.

If Star Trek has 400 crew members, how come we only see a few in the bridge and the captain and senior officers only take a few crewmen with red shirts that usually get killed.  Where are the others? 

They are below playing badminton. Most of them are complaining that this so-called five year mission isn’t getting them any lines for them to say on the show.

Love to watch Star Trek with you. 

You are just here writing your blog. 

No, you just wrote it.  Thanks!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist just got Rain and Did he say Shipwreck?


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

We waited for some torrential rains but it looks like it did not  happen here.  Roanoke had some severe flooding but we had some minor flooding by the New River and just got wet. The people on the coast did not have to evacuate their homes but North Carolina sure got pummeled.  Love the beach but definitely do not want to live there! 

I made a mistake in my last blog on the Specials.  They ended Thursday, not Friday. Senior moment.  I looked up a chart that compares Alzheimers symptoms with regular old age symptoms and so far I am still on the right side of the chart.  I am reading at night to try keep my mind together and I know playing the piano helps.  I really need to get back to reading Spanish novels.  You have to stay sharp to keep up a foreign language.  I have forgotten some words and some grammar so I had better get back to it before I can only say hola.  Our library has next to nothing in Spanish.  I guess I need to see what I can get on Interlibrary loan. 

Anyway, I am hanging in there and painting away! Here is the final stage of Pawleys Island Atmosphere!

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Last time I wrote about the different times that Clyde and I go to bed due to our schedules.  He is in bed at 9 so he can get up at 4.  I stay up to 11:30 and get up at 7:30.  Funny thing.  Every night at 9 I have an overwhelming desire to go to sleep and then I start to wake up . 

I told Clyde that the reason my body wants to go to sleep at 9 is because we are soul mates.  He gagged and said we were more like a ship wreck without a ship. 

Ha ha! I love to goad him. Wait, did he really say our marriage is like a ship wreck?  Oh well. I asked for it. LOL!

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist is Hoping the Hurricane will not be that bad and Trying to Sleep…


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

Reports of the coming storm keep changing and it is predicted to be the storm of a lifetime so we are all hunkered down and hoping our homes won’t be destroyed.  That huge tree right outside the window has me nervous.  I hope it does not come crashing down.  I have made it this far without a serious tragedy and I hope my good fortune continues. 

Someone in India is checking out one of my large paintings.  I hope he does purchase it but I will have to get someone to build a wooden crate for me.  I wish I could turn back time and make sure the guy that finished our carport knew my crates were not trash.  The lumber yard that built them for me closed. 

Oh well.  Artwork can present a lot of problems but they pale when the weather acts up.  We will see soon what this hurricane will do to us.  Hoping it is not as strong as predicted.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

I used to go to bed at 10:00. I had such a hard time getting to sleep.  I don’t sleep well so I thought maybe I am one of those people that need to stay up late so I started to go to bed at 11:30.  I can’t stay up later since I have to get up at 7:30.  Clyde sleeps like a rock and goes right to sleep at 9:00 since he has to get up at 4:00.  I am so tired all the time and wake up several times at night thinking of crazy dreams, mostly dreams about traveling. 

I almost always wake up at 5:00 and 6:00.  Once in a while I can’t get back to sleep but most of the time I do and I am much more restful when Clyde wakes me up at 7:30.  Maybe one of these days when he is retired I will stay up to 1:00 and see if I sleep peacefully to 9:00 or 10:00.  I hate to miss the morning hours but I would like to sleep better.  Oh well, there are a lot more important things to worry about but I think this sign that is in the public domain is a good one for me.

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist Arm Wrestled it Down and Nut Case…


Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Please click on my latest Youtube!

Please Check out My Story on Youtube!

 

 Well, I arm wrestled my latest painting down and now it is just a matter of finesse.  I hope I don’t have back problems the next time.  It is never good for me to have to leave a painting for a while and then begin work again.  I am really tired of the saying,  Seize the day, but it does apply here.  

I have to seize the paint brush since I am changing every day and if too much time elapses between painting sessions the painting starts to yell at me.  I don’t like being yelled at. 

Anyway, I am very pleased with the end result and when I have finished the tweaks it will go on my website!

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

 A while back I told Clyde I thought I was a little on the nutty side but I am a well functioning nut.  No artist likes to rant that artists are not nuts more than me, but I do think I am a little off – at least according to others.  I think if I were actually tested I would come up normal but I am definitely a non-conformist to say the least.  I hate to shop for clothes.  How many girls can say that?  The stores are full of them. 

I love to paint even though at times I have thoughts of opening a vein due to frustration. If I had time I would play the piano most of the day even though the music running through my head can be an excruciatingly difficult experience. I wish there were an off button.

Oh well.  Clyde is out studying birds right now and some people call him nuts.  If every one did what he does we would not have environmental problems.   Saw a great joke on the internet about mental illness. 

A psychiatrist asks his patient that is lying on the sofa, “Is nut job hyphenated?”

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist wants to Escape and Uncouth…

Sometimes I think I should just take a break from all my work and just relax.  I used to despise shopping and still don’t like it but these days it is a break.  There are zillions of things I would do if I could talk myself out of computer work and artwork but I am driven to get my art out to people and that requires a lot of effort every day. 

I did get to the lake a few times this summer and my hubby went with me!  He is not much for swimming but birds and butterflies always show up  so he is happy where ever he goes.  He actually writes down data every single time he is out of the house.  Now, that is dedication! 

Anyway, I am hoping to make a lot of progress on my latest painting today.  It started out good but I had to take such a long break from it that it is presenting problems right now.  Live to paint, love to paint, but it can be a real pain in the you know where at times.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

Yesterday Clyde was about to leave the house with food in his beard. 

You have food in your beard. 

That’s just my reserves. 

I thought your reserves were the pieces you drop on your chest when you lie down. 

Those are my auxiliary pieces. 

Considering how we eat and the clothes we wear I guess people could say we are uncouth. 

I lost my couth in my youth. 

Argh!  The Word Man strikes again.

You know this is going on the internet.

Yeah.

FREE SHIPPING ON PRINTS THROUGH midnight SEPTEMBER 3RD!!!!!  

Fine Art America is again giving patrons a huge Labor Day weekend price break! 

As we all know shipping artwork is very expensive so be sure to take advantage of this great Holiday Special!

Painting is such a weird process. One minute you think a painting is coming along and will be done soon and then the painting starts talking to you and asks you about your current approach to it.  I hate, hate, hate wasting paint and sometimes I hold back on my loaded paintings because of the cost of paint.  The second stage has a strong impasto surface but I thought I still needed one more layer which I started a few days ago but now I am working in areas because I don’t think I need to cover everything again. 

Some areas are truly done and I don’t want to mess them up.  The third layer is always the hardest and I’ll best most people reading this have no idea as to what I am talking about.  Oh well, I know there are other artists that understand.  Love what I do but it is not easy.  I still have both ears.  I refuse to let it drive me nuts although I think Van Gogh would have had mental problems despite his profession.  It ran in his family.

Life with The Word and Bird Man – Clyde Kessler

The Bird Man is out doing his thing with our son.  Last night he saw over 200 hawks from our back yard as some neighbor kids made fun of him and teased a dog.  Clyde has endured insults about bird watching his whole life so the rude comments he receives just roll off his back.  The time someone reported him because they thought he may have been a terrorist was not something he could ignore. 

I admire his naturalist efforts and have learned a lot from him about our fragile environment.  I am too antsy to spend all the hours he does studying birds but I think it is great and I am extremely impressed that he has uploaded over 20,000 sightings to ebird at Cornell University.  I don’t think ignorance is bliss but I do think a lot of Americans think it is.  We need to shape up. 

Saw a funny cartoon about today’s Holiday.        

Happy Labor Day!  Now stuff your self with hotdogs like a good American!
