A Painting a Day



Thursday is teaching day. Ashley, my co teacher, is finishing up the history of mask making and the children will put their final touches on the masks they made of paper mache last week. NO not trick or treat masks at all. We talked about how masks seem to empower a person with the influence of what the mask is. For example, if you put on a wolf mask you take on the brut strength and confidence of the wolf. If you put on Sponge Bob...well I am not sure what you feel, but it is definitely different than the wolf! LOL...If you put on Superman you feel as if you might have super powers. If you put on a Cinderella Costume you feel like a princess...light delicate and BEAUTIFUL!!! I can't wait to see how they turn out today. It will be a tangled mess of acrylic paints, feathers, sequins etc.

I was pulling color on the canvas with my palette knife yesterday when this piece began to emerge before my eyes. From the colors the horses forms began. I was truly mesmorized as I worked. When I finished it I immediately began a huge one....30 X 40, which I will eventually finish. Work in progress you might say. The colors in this one are earthy and still very vibrant with contrast. This first one is on auction right now with free shipping to one of the first two bidders. CLICK HERE>


I am off to the easel behind me. It is just now five a.m. and the day stretches before me. God's presence enfolds me and moves with me wherever I go.

Grace,
Laurie

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
