A Painting a Day




Monday Monday...still can't type with both hands. A friend suggested Neuro Muscular Massage...so I am on a mission! Help is soon! We continue to gather bids for the renovation of this house and the addition of STUDIO space! YEAH.... meanwhile I paint in my little room!

This unique painting is the first of many with this application. I had a dream last week about it and started it on Friday...Finished it up on Saturday...and listed it on eBay on Sunday. I wanted a KOI painting that was more low key and mood setting to calm cool colors and when Terry walked in and said WOW...I knew I had succeeded with my dream. I am sure it will evolve more as it goes as well with the next one. I used several palette knives as well as Impasto mixed with the paint to give it thickness.

I am also excited to welcome Liberty to the studio...she is a young woman that I have known for almost ten years now...and she will be helping with all the computer related stuff and with art classes later once the final studio is put back together. I believe I will see her art develop as she works here, she has much hidden talent!

Have a great day today...I will return typing one handed tomorrow...gotta go rest my right hand now. Oh I want to share what Iris wrote me....

Let us decrease so He may increase
and let us remember that ego is really: Edging God Out.

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...
