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.

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 and complaining that this five year mission isn't getting them any lines for the show.

Love to watch Star Trek with you.

You are just here writing your blog.

No, you just wrote it. Thanks!

We waited for some torrential rains but it looks like it did not happen here. Roanoke had some severe flooding but we 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!

Wow, my painting progress seems very unimportant in the light of the coming storm! It looks to be quite a devastating one. A local weatherman, Kevin Myatt, is so concerned he said we should pray! Never heard that before from a weatherman.

I am so glad we live in the mountains and on a hill. Hopefully our little home won't be knocked over or flooded. We have one very large tree out front. I hope it doesn't land on our house during the high winds.

Oh well, we are stocking up on extra food and water and I think I WILL pray.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

For some reason we do not understand, certain channels on our TV disappear and then others appear. Right now a station that we did not have is on and has Star Trek episodes every day. Even though I have seen most of the episodes multiple times and I am not that big of a fan, I like to watch it with Clyde because he usually has some fun comments. Last night we were watching one with the crew stuck on a planet because the transporter would not work.

They have shuttles. I have seen them many times. Why don't they use them rather than the transporter. Also, if they are stuck, why can't they send a shuttle down?

Oh Clyde. The shuttles were probably sent out and arrested for parking tickets. Then they were towed away by the Klingons.
I think that is as logical as a machine that can take people apart and then reassemble them elsewhere.

Spock probably would not agree with me.

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?"

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.

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 250 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!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

As I have mentioned before I love movies! I get a lot of great ones from our library and netflix. I can hardly stand to watch TV with all the commercials. It usually takes me several days to watch one due to the fact that I have so much to do and am a workaholic. Hard for me to sit still for the whole movie.

Anyway, I highly recommend Permanent which is a very funny comedy about a young girl that ends up starting the school year with an awful permanent she can do nothing about.

There is a lot more to the movie and one line will live with me forever! I told it to Clyde and he agreed! A lady in therapy gives her definition of family.


A family is like a plant. You water it and hope you didn't get a weed. Love it!

I wanted to get back to my latest shore painting but I got sidetracked so I am going to get in there and at least clean off my palette so I can work tomorrow. The trick is how to paint, get all my computer work done, and still get to the lake to swim before the afternoon showers. I hope the rain will hold off so I can swim one more time before the lifeguards quit for the summer.

People are allowed to swim without them but I would rather have them there. I have only used my float once this summer and I am looking forward to spinning around in it one more time. I am a responsible adult but in many ways I never grew up and I highly recommend staying a kid and never losing the desire to have the same fun we had when we were little!

I have finished the second stage of Pawleys Island Atmosphere! Getting a lot of hits on this stage as well as the first stage! Be sure to click on the link and see all the wall art prints and prints on just about anything to the right.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Yesterday I was adding some Skyline Beauty paintings to my new Independent website and updating them on my website connected to Fine Art America. As I added them to my new site I also let the revised listings go to social media sites.

A twitter friend saw one of my New York skyline paintings and thought it resembled Donald Trump's signature. That had never occurred to me so I looked up his signature and didn't see the resemblance so I tweeted that I had not intended the painting to look like his signature and couldn't see the resemblance myself.

I didn't think the friend that tweeted the comment meant any offense but she let me know she just thought the up and down motion of the brushwork looked like his signature.

Clyde said you should have asked the friend to buy it and then she could compare it up close with Trump's signature. What a shameless opportunist and I wish I had thought of that! LOL!

Thank you for looking at paintings by an artist of The Blue Ridge Parkway

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist

Can't think of much to say today except I finished the second stage of Pawleys Island Atmosphere and am looking forward to the last stage. The first stage that is getting a lot of hits is in the video at the top of this post. I will post the second stage on my website connected with Fine Art America soon.

I am working hard to finish my independent website with Wix but it will take a long time. There is a lot to see already but a lot more needs to be added and then I need to learn how to promote it effectively.

I have also decided, for now, to just send out my newsletter from Fine Art America. I started one with another site because I thought the number of paintings that could be added on the Fine Art America one was too few. Either they have changed their format or I was not working it correctly. There is plenty of room so I will not use the other one that aggravates me no end. The computer really likes to burp and default big time with that site and I have had enough!

Be sure to check out my Independent website in progress! The link under the below painting will take you there!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

You know you have been living with a Bird Watcher or Birder, as they say, for a very long time when you go looking for him when you see unusual birds on the internet. Lots of times people want an identification of an unusual species or an explanation of certain types of behavior so I ask The Bird Man and he groans he should be paid for his expertise but he always helps out.

Sometimes I wonder about all these Nature programs. Are there any other inhabitants of this planet that are carefully studying us, making reports, and trying to figure out our behaviors? I don't think so but I do love the cartoon with bird using binoculars!

Crows are very smart and have learned to adapt to the changes we have made in the environment so I am just waiting for one of them to fly off with Clyde's binoculars and start checking us out. Wonder what they would say about all the paintings I make.

Clyde said they have probably learned to read and they want him to hit the delete button on all those poems he writes. That would explain all the bird noise right outside the window.
