A Painting a Day



Fun color and thick paint. I always enjoy these compositions! The paint is very thick and applied with a wide brush. Colors contrast and play against each other creating a delightful play of hues before your eyes!

Today it is COLD outside...and windy. Am suppose to finish varnishing work for the FOUR BRANCH RANCH opening in Colleyville and deliver the work today. A few pieces are still wet...so I am not sure what will happen with those. Then I can concentrate on the Ohio Show the first of March, which I hope to attend with Morgan.

Took my harp into Dallas yesterday to let my MOM stroke her strings...and I believe she will have Denny make her one as well. I love it. I play it for at least an hour or more a day.

Gotta get to my paperwork today...so this is short and sweet. I am anxiously awaiting paintings to arrive from Sharman Owings, another member of the daily painter group. I purchased THREE from her for my daughters birthday. I cannot wait until they arrive~! Then I will get them framed. I had already bought her a sewing machine for her birthday, but when I saw Sharman's work...wow...I had to get Stacey some for her new home! Make sure you check out Sharman's work. Mary Jo, she lives near you!

I have several commission pieces I will be working on today. One is hands for a friend in TN that has much of my work already...this is for his church...another is a Texas mission for a Company in Dallas for their reception area. It is a large piece, about 3 x 5 ft in measurement. Then the daughter wants one for her living room, of course before this weekend with her big party. Will probably do that one first today! Will post pics of each as I finish.

Take care and know the Light shines on...just open your eyes to see it. It is easy to stay in the dark. The light often hurts your eyes,...but only for a moment until you adjust to God's love and his light.

Grace,
Laurie

'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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said:      "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition:   Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet.  So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it.  Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher.  ...
