Blue Ridge Parkway Artist, New Blue Ridge Parkway Painting, and A Satellite Picture would be fine...

Blue Ridge Parkway Artist



I am pleased to have finished my third Fall Blue Ridge Parkway painting and hope to start a new one soon! I am especially pleased with the atmosphere in this one!


Magenta Fall Original 9"x 12" Oil Painting $236


Magenta Fall is a lovely Autumn scene on The Blue Ridge Parkway. In this vista the Fall colors are as exciting as the colors in the evening sky. A feast for the eyes! I live in the most beautiful place in the world!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde watches a lot of nature programs and oftentimes they are on when I am in the studio so I can hear them, too. The other day I heard an announcer say that even though the grizzly bear was a long way off he was still glad to see one.

That struck me as an odd thing to say so I called out to Clyde that if I were in Grizzly country I would not want to see one close up. His answer was that he would prefer a satellite shot since he didn't think they can jump that high. Great exaggeration from the Word Man!

Clyde is a dedicated naturalist but, as I have mentioned before, he really doesn't want to go anywhere where the wildlife is waiting for him with a knife and fork as soon as he gets off the bus.

This isn't entirely true as he has spent countless hours walking up and down the Blue Ridge mountains and had some close calls with black bears. I guess hanging around grizzlies is one step too far!
