GREYHOUND EYES

11 x 14 inches

A Painting a Day

If you are interested in buying this piece, contact me. It goes on Auction a week from Today on eBay. CLICK here to email me.


Niki has been painting Newfies....I couldn't stand it. I had to paint two dogs, so I choose the greyhound, which I have painted frequently and the scotty, which I grew up with. I feel the eyes are the door to the soul and when I look at a greyhound I see this life and even deeper. Their enormous eyes speak volumes of their love and their desire to please us. This sweet painting is on board and painted with a wide brush and lots of movement...hence it is impressionistic. Why do you see in this greyhound's eyes?


Today is Friday. I have Lana coming over to do changes on a commission piece for her home. I am doing a Tuscan field scene....36 X 36 inches and we have to finish up the last minute things she would like to see in the painting. Other than that I will be working on a large dove for an opening in Denison Nov 18th. CLICK HERE FOR INFO ON THE UNDERGROUND......Louie Armstrong's grandson will be doing Jazz at the UNDERGROUND and the 5 graces were asked to show some of their work. I think I will also take some horses with me too, since this is horse country! So I am off to the easel.

Grace to you all,

Laurie

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew
their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and
Not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

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...
