My strong visual memory is bugging me as usual.  My mind is a photo album on steroids.  Everything and everyone is always flipping through my head and I wish I could stop it but maybe that is a price artist's pay for their ability to create.  I don't know.  It would be interesting if someone did  a study on it.  I know it is the reason I have a hard time listening to someone that says more than one or two sentences.  I get distracted by what is going on in my mind.  I use to try to convince people that think all artists are crazy they were wrong.  Now, I am not so sure.  Oh well.  I may be nuts but I am a well functioning nut and I can't wait to get into the studio!


 I now have the final stage of Twisters on my website!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Anyone that knows my curmudgeon husband knows he does not like technology.  I am sure I have mentioned that his solution to computer problems is to open the window and let gravity do the work.

Well, with all the aggravation with our printer, cache, and other assorted problems he has a new solution.

Tie the computer to a rope and drag it down the street.  Call it the Information Super Highway and watch it crunch.

Looking forward to the last Center of My Mind painting!  After this one I will move on to something else.  I love all levels of abstraction but I like representational the best.  Thinking of either a floral or a large landscape.  Not sure yet.  This last Center of My Mind painting will be 18"x24".  The others are 9"x12". 
Be sure to check out my latest Youtube at the top!  I am putting out one a week now in an effort to gain more attention on Youtube! 
Below is the final stage of Twisters.  What a color feast!

Still working on Music without Words paintings and looking forward to one more, this time a large one with a lot of depth.  I know that the illusion of depth is the main reason I like to work from nature most of the time. 
Since I like that effect in my representational works I think it will be a good idea to incorporate depth in a non-figurative one.  I have some ideas in my head and I hope to start tomorrow.  Today has been a whirlwind of computer work that is still not done.  Hope to get finished soon but I usually work in the evenings, too. 
Oh well, this is the life I have chosen.  If I could give up painting I wouldn't be working so hard to promote it but I can't give it up so back to promo! 
Cheers!

Yesterday I was washing dishes when I remembered I did not have my glasses on.  I can't get them clean without my glasses.  I was so surprised when I remembered they were on my head I had to run and tell Clyde. 


Clyde, I now know for sure there is hope for me. 

You got a big enough shovel to send me out the door? 

No, I remembered I had my glasses on my head and didn't run all over the house to find them. And they don't make shovels that big. 

Maybe you can take two snow shovels and attach them together. 


Too much work.  Back to the dishes.

Such beautiful weather!  This must be what it is like in Hawaii!  I still want hotter swimming weather but this will certainly do for now! 

I now have Turning Inward on my website!  I really do like to work this way for a while.  The colors seem like jewels sifting around misty systems of colors and brushwork.  They truly are visual music!

So happy to see the sunlight!  I hope it lasts but I think more rain is coming. 
I am pleased with my new Center of my Mind paintings!  Here is the third one in the first stage. 
The others stayed in the first stage but I think I am going to change this one quite a bit.  Prints of the first stage will be available but I want to try something different with this one.  I hope it works out!

Still staring at the rain.  I will be glad when the sunny weather comes back.  I am having a hard time getting any artwork done right now due to various family matters.  But I did photograph my latest Center of My Mind painting in the first stage which may be the last stage.  We'll see. 

Anyway, it is pouring outside and I hope it lets up when I go to Line Dance Class.  I do Yoga twice a week and love it when the little clock the teacher uses is visible.  Can't wait to namaste right on out of there.  It does great things for the body but I don't like it. 

I wonder if there are people that do Yoga and actually like it.  One of the students in the class likes to say we should start with a Yoga nap. We never do.  I guess that is his nirvana that will never be realized in class. 
LOL!

Rain, rain, go away, come again some other day.  It rained yesterday and it is supposed to rain for the next few days and stop on Thursday.  Glad I got to the lake once.  It is always tricky to swim in the lake due to rainy days this time of year.  We need the rain but it would be nice if it just rained at night.  Oh well.  I will return before the end of the season. 

I can see why people want to live by the ocean but the weather at most beaches does not just include rain, it is scary, home wrecking stuff.  Glad there is a beautiful lake fifteen minutes from my house.  Yea New River Valley!  Love it! 

I decided not to change my latest Center of my Mind painting.  I started another one and may leave it in the first stage, too.  Check it out!  Blue Streak is now on my portfolio and wall art prints and prints on household items and clothing are available!

Yesterday we were on our way to the library.  It is a great library but the parking lot is a tricky one.  I am always looking over my shoulder when I park or leave it. 

Anyway, as we were approaching the parking lot Clyde pointed out the Slow Cross walk sign. 



Watch out. That cross walk moves very slowly.  You don't want to hit it.   

And it is named Bump.  Don't let it bump you. 

We made it.  No injuries.

Such a beautiful Monday!  Not too hot and there is a nice breeze coming through the window.  A brown thrasher is digging under the brush where the bushes are.  It is making quite a lot of noise as it looks for food.  This time of the year the birds around the house are very loud.  Sometimes in the mornings they wake me up with shrill calls.  We have so many trees and bushes and many of them are building nests.  Glad to be of help. 


I put the finishing touches on my current nude paintings and I am considering working on some abstracts.  Music without words!  I mostly sell paintings and prints with recognizable subject matter but sometimes it is a great experience to create works that people either like or don't like just based on their visual reaction to the colors and textures. 


Looking forward to starting these!

Started my first new abstract painting and am going to start another one before I go to the second stage of the first one.  It is always hard to know when to say a painting is finished but I find it is especially hard when there isn't any recognizable subject matter. 

As I said last time, these paintings are like music without words but when are there enough notes and are they working together?  Anyway, here is Blue Streak Stage One.  It may change, it may not, but it will be included in my portfolio.
