Title
Mid-Spring on the New River
Artist
Kendall Kessler
Medium
Painting - Oil Pastel/paper
Description
This scene is an oil pastel of an evening scene on the New River near Radford, Va. The season is mid-spring. I am fascinated by the change in the greens as they change from spring to summer.
This particular view of the New River has the sun slightly reflected on the left side of the river. The picture was made by building up numerous layers of oil pastel thinned down with mineral spirits so that the textures would be a combination of a smooth, painterly effect with a slight crayon type texture that the oil pastel generates.
This drawing is on the highest quality acid-free paper and is un-framed. It is loose on a cardboard backing under acetate. Buyer will need to have it framed to suit his or her tastes. This is a low-level impasto drawing and the surface is colorful and peaceful.

I have won numerous awards, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank Webb, and Daniel Greene.

I taught in the Art Department of Radford University for twenty years as Assistant professor. I taught Art Appreciation, Drawing, Oil Painting, Watercolor painting, Foundations, and served as Gallery Director for one year.
I enjoyed working with Art and Design students. My Art Appreciation course was hands-on and I received many compliments on my course curriculum. Oftentimes I had students that were not enrolled in the class ask me if they could sit in for a class. I have fond memories of those guest students! What a great compliment for me!
My best-selling print, "Reaching Out", was selected from over three million works of art on Fine Art America to be on the set of The Mindy Project and I appeared with my artwork on The Hour of Joy on FoxTV out of Roanoke on March 10th 2013.
I live to paint and it is important to me to find homes for all of my creations. I have originals and prints in thirty-two states,Washington D.C., Canada, Germany, Russia, England, India, Switzerland, and Australia.
I also have paintings in the collection of Hollywood actress Morgan Fairchild.
