A Painting a Day




Good morning Wednesday. It took me awhile to get here this morning...been catching up on emails and think I have now fried my husband's computer...that is two in less than a week... I think I need to go buy the mac I want....comments???

The painting posted today is soooo very thick with paint...piled in layers to create this. I love the contrast of red and green in deep shades. It evolved with balance of colors and it hangs with a pleasantry to it....shape, balance, form and color binding together in strength.

Today is major painting day, but I do have a turkey in the oven. We will eat at our daughters and she is making turkey...but we wouldn't have left overs for those marvelous HUGE turkey sandwiches or turkey soup from the last scrapes!!! So I bought a free range turkey at Whole Foods yesterday and popped it in the oven at four this morning with the thermometer inserted and the oven at 275 to cook slowly!!! Trina is driving down from Gainesville to paint this morning so I anticipate some good work from the hours ahead.

I am off to the easel.... Charlene and Kay, I want to hear your paintings arrived safely! Hugs to all. SUE...I have to take my camera off, I think it is messing with this computer! If I had a sad face to paste it would be here.

Grace,
Laurie

In my life I know the Lord is my light, especially in my work. He is my salvation as well. He is strength and with Him walking with me I lay claim to His promises and know not to fear what is in this world. I pray he guards my heart and mind from the spirit of fear and fills my heart with his perfect love.

"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

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...
