A Painting a Day




Saturday. WOW, one of my oldest friends is getting married today! Conni and I will head in to Dallas for the wedding and expect lots of good food and friends! YUMMMMM!

This is the second in the commission pieces for Eddie's mom. This horse is Weeda...and Eddie was not suppose to be in the painting, but he sneaked in at Weeda's feet. IT may be another week before I can ship these...the paint is thickly applied with a palette knife.

Yesterday we visited Southlake Town Square and attempted to visit a gallery on the square but it was locked tight. Wonder how that artist wants to sell work. But we did the James Avery thing and found a pretty charm bracelet for Annie. I put a Texas charm on it and she picked out a bunny for it! A wreck on the freeway delayed our lunch and arrival home. We stopped by the CAULDREN of Death and tried to get some fried chick (Chicken Express) but they were out of real chicken, like drumsticks and wings. We accepted the substitute of chicken tenders and were not disappointed as we arrived home to eat. We ate it all!

After lunch Conni and I began moving furniture around in the house. We had to empty a huge china cabinet as well as a three sectional china display cabinet. Morgan arrived to help us shuffle the last piece...we had done the piano and the first china cabinet. Conni worked for hours hand washing all the crystal I had simply unloaded from the boxes last fall...so my china cabinet GLISTENS!!! The house is lot more functional and more light inside, still have this strange room with no light that was a dining room. We stuck the large three sectional in there and the piano. Thinking maybe a few chairs, small coffee table and some solar tubes for light!

MONDAY....I can't wait for. Donna Howell Sickles up in St Joe has invited us up to her gallery/studio. It is about an hour north of Justin. Her gallery is in a converted church. I have been considering a church in Krum Texas myself, so I am really eager to see what she has done.

Celebrate life today. Celebrate the Love of God for us and share that love with as many folks as you can today! We will celebrate with Deborah and Bill.

Grace,
Laurie

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...
