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!

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...
