A Painting a Day



It is afternoon....here in Texas and it is starting to warm up a tiny bit, at least into the fifties. We might see Sixties tomorrow...yes..but the weather man muttered something about the MCFARLAND syndrome....and that means COLD AIR and SNOW and ICE...coming soon to a town near you if you live in north Texas. This is welcome welcome welcome...to have a real winter...might cut down on our bug population too!

Painted this morning and these roses appeared on canvas...perhaps with thoughts of Valentines. I put my order in for some more perfume...I am out. Hope he takes the hint of the empty perfume bottle on his sink with a note...EMPTY...20 days until Valentine's Day. Don't forget your valentine! You can buy these roses and have flowers year round...gee what more could a husband want??? They will post on eBay next week, but are available now if you contact me!
The paint is hugely thick...hugely...is that a word? Well it is on my canvas. RIDGES outline the petals and establish movement and dimension...I love my Holbein Duo Oils.

ALSO...a new painter will be listing on eBay soon...he is from San Antonio and his work is FABULOUS! I will pass on more info as I get it. ALSO trying to talk Conni Togel back onto Ebay at least with OSWOA items...I have two of her pieces here in my home...and I have two of Diane Whitehead's (Artoutwest) and one of Debra Hurd.

Hope the sun is shining where you are...and Amanda...enjoy the wilds of Alaska...and have a glass or two of wine of the plane ride up!

Grace to all,

Laurie

Greetings Laurie, from way-cold New England! I love these roses & had to chuckle, I bought myself 2 bunches of tulips at the grocery store today to paint tomorrow, knew I wouldn't want to go out with wind chills below ZERO! I've been enjoying your paintings! Thanks for visiting my blog. Cheer & blessings to you..and stay warm!

hi laurie,

as always, gorgeous work!
thanks for talking me into listing some stuff - i did get an inquiry after all the listings ended, so it did do something!

It's been really cool (i call it cold - but that's only because i've adjusted to the weather here already - in Colorado i'd be sitting outside on my porch with shorts and a t-shirt on at these temps...), and am i ever ready for spring!

you might need to make that sign on the bottle bigger - and tie his toothbrush to it, and then strap that to his right pinky so he won't forget :)
then again, he will probably surprise you, just wait and see!

take care!

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
