A Painting A Day



It is dark, but the sun should be up soon. It was quite a night as the first storms blew through around six. It was a squall that pushed through in about 15 minutes and the sun came out! BUT there were tornadoes bouncing around the area. About 8 p.m. as the news continued to cover the storm moving toward the east...the wind picked up and it grew greenly dark outside again. The dogs were going CRAZY. A second storm hit out of nowhere and we lost power. I phoned my daughter on my cell phone and asked her to check the computer radar...and sure enough a back cell was pushing through. I spent the evening reading a book with my huge 48 hour cell flashlight and Terry was connected to a movie on his IPOD. When we went to bed we shared the IPOD with each of us plugged into an ear clip! It was Julie Andrews in Hawaii.

It appears still cloudy outside this morning. The power is back on and I am eager to paint. We basically shut everything down late yesterday afternoon. So to work I go!

This is a small painting 6 x 6 in a series I did last week. Easy to frame or put on a small easel!

Enjoy your weekend. Remember there is Divine Order in our lives!

Grace,
Laurie

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

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...

I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
