A Painting a Day


I didn't post yesterday. I have been not painting due to computer problems! Will spend this next week working on those issues...meanwhile I have continued to paint with the smaller size format and a new series called WESTERN SUNSET. This is entitled And Then Came Three.

A friend sent me an email on Thursday remarking about the similarities between several of my compositions listed in my blog this week and some painted and placed up on eBay by another artist. This is a difficult area when there are sooo many artists posting all the time. Just as with apples, there are good ones and bad ones...some even look really good on the outside and you bite in to find them infested with fat happy worms!!! Most of you know I post paintings here BEFORE they list on eBay, and usually I am listing things I painted three days prior, I paint every day and I blog one of the paintings from the three day period prior. I also post at four thirty in the morning most days before normal folks are up! My art work has it's own footprint, and my ideas for paintings are inspired by photos I have either taken with my own camera in my travels...(Which is what caused my MOOODY BLUES because I usually only paint longhorns.) or in books that I have collected over the years. My style of painting is Modern Impressionism and I attempt to capture the movement and the energy in my paintings...not to paint a STUFFED HORSE ...fresh from the taxidermy shop. Just know as my paintings come out on ebay, usually they were here on my blog the week before and painted in my studio three to five days before that. So on eBay the paintings are usually two weeks old when they list. I have to do this for drying time!

When you buy a Pace Original they are original thoughts and ideas.

I will be finishing up Christmas Shopping online and at the mall this weekend and painting just a little bit. I have two commissions to do, one of a horse and one of Troy Aikman...both Christmas presents, so I have to get busy so they dry! Meanwhile continue to watch for my newest collection of WESTERN SUNSET....4 X 6 oil paintings OSWOA's that start at affordable prices on eBay! GREAT to collect. You might search OSWOA on ebay for listings. ORIGINAL SMALL WORKS OF ART...can collect them in photo albums!

OHOHOHOHOH....An artist from San Antonio phoned this week. He and his wife are quite a team and his work is absolutely gorgeous!!! I hope to see them up on eBay. I will have to email him for his site, can't find where I wrote it down...but watch my blog in the next few days and I will put it in. Anthony Gonzalez...you might be able to Google him.

Grace to you all of you....a special smile and hug for Sue and Hilary....Sue as she has a hugely busy weekend, Hilary to get well fast out in Nevada, Carol...I haven't heard from you lately, want to know what is happening and love to Niki at the wedding in NYC this weekend. ENJOY LIFE and all the great gifts God has provided. MARY JO....MARY JO.... are you done unpacking?

Grace,

Laurie

God is blessing you with renewed strength and understanding. Pray for others!

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...
