Oil on Canvas... the beginnings of a Commission painting

A Painting a Day

CONTACT ME for Commission Work.
Laurie Pace


This is really not the title for this, but the beginnings of a commission piece I am working on.
The collector has an older Appy and a gorgeous Airedale. When I asked about positioning and the relationship between the two, she laughed and said they do not talk or share! They are both jealous of each other...so I chose to use the original pose of the Appy she sent me and put the Airedale at an opposite position with his haughty stance...or should I say naughty stance....if he is ANYTHING like my Kerry Blue Terriers, there is some arrogance there. The Appy has a dark tail and we will be going with VIVID colors in the background with marigolds, crimson reds and greens... very startling effect as the collector desires!

Will post the final painting tomorrow!

The weather is ABSOLUTELY HEAVEN SENT!!! I just walked almost two miles with Talena and will be working on the painting above the rest of the day. Yesterday was teaching...and in the midst of our 2 hour oil painting class we decided to order pizza...oh what fun. My students were all girls yesterday and we gather in the living room on the floors and the couches with pizza, bread sticks and soda! (Can't forget the garlic and cheese!) Last week I made two batches of home made brownies for a birthday...we do no normally eat but we had fun!

Terry was busy working planting two trees in our backyard and a climbing yellow rose bush in the front flower bed. We will go get more soil this afternoon for the beds and the other trees on their way.

Today I should be painting and cleaning, but I think I will paint until one and then go outside and enjoy the day!!!!!


Take a moment to close your eyes and put yourself in the most relaxed place you can imagine...mine is either at the lake or under a shade tree with a breeze blowing....and give thanks for all...for the earth and the skies. This is the time, the weekend to celebrate Earth Day and that is a continuous celebration of respect for the beauty God created for all of us! As an artist I am privileged to explore and give my imitation or reflection of all this beauty.

Grace to all,
Laurie

'Spotted Appaloosa' 36 x 48  Oil on Canvas SOLD COMMISSIONED PAINTING Contact me For Commission Work. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting:  This was a joy to paint.   The collector loved the painting Patina 2 and wanted the same feel but with her appaloosa in the painting.  BTW, Appy 2, which she owns, will be on the cover this next month of the Appy Magazine. Stay tuned for a look in a few weeks.  This piece is painted with Holbein Duo Oils on Canvas and it is large at 3 ft by 4 ft.  I would love to paint for you...so contact me for your own Pace Signature Original. The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
