A Painting A Day

This painting does not have a name yet and is not quite done but I am preparing it for the opening of the FOUR BRANCH RANCH which I have been mentioning on prior days! I painted several small 6 x 6 inch ones this morning for it as well. This is thick paint with impasto added and wide brushes.

Kay T... not sure I have your email address because my computer crashed too and I am on hubbies HP. You can email me at Pace52@aol.com though. I pick up mail there daily! Then I will have yours back too!

It is late...I am painting canvas edges tonight so I can hit it running in the morning. On the agenda for the week are some reiners and cowboys/girls, some more wild horses and Exploring a new breed.... Akhal Tekes. GORGEOUS horses. I am going to do a few practice paintings which I have already promised to the buyer that recommended I look at these horses...so we will see! Tomorrow Trina will be here to paint, and I have a new piano student in the morning I THINK!

ALSO NEWS NEWS NEWS...my HARP arrived. I played for almost two hours this afternoon. I was cleaning house and stopped mid stride and decided to try it for the first time. I tuned her slightly to herself using my piano and took off. The hardest thing was remembering the fingering and the right hand goes backwards from how it plays keys on the piano. Charlene, I guarantee I will type 135 words a min after learning to play accurately! LOL

I will post something on my music blog once I get my left thumb working better. ELIZA...I love you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the connection to Denny in Australia. That is who had made my harp. OH she is gorgeous. I have not named her yet.

More later...my canvas edges are calling me, as is a good book next to my bed...as is my adorable husband! Hummm, maybe I won't paint my edges.
(Also need to find my valentine cards...not sure where I put them and they need to go into the mail)

Grace to you all,

Laurie
Centered in the love of God in this prayerful moment, I am at peace. (Especially playing my harp.)

"Let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:4

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...
