A Painting a Day

Well this one made my eBay store, not auction, and went pretty fast. I had not even blogged it, so I decided to put this pretty baby up. It is a smoother approach to canvas than my palette knife attack...I have been selling more out of my store on eBay and may build that trade up over the auctions.

Sunday was grand! I started my morning with Conni's fabulous soft boiled eggs (yes, she taught me a short cut and the eggs are awesome!) and a chunk of pumpernickel bread and hot earl grey tea. I spent about an hour reading a book Charlene sent entitled "How to Pray" from Unity and then read in the bible for a bit before picking up my harp and playing it. I then took the dogs for a long walk. This new routine left me peaceful as I came in to the studio to work on some commission pieces, which is what I will be doing today as well.

I will be at the Post office at 8 to pick up two packages...my mail person appeared on Saturday while I was in the shower and I missed TWO packages. I do not think she rang the doorbell though, because my dogs did not bark and they would have come unglued at that sound. One package is a sun dress and the other a painting that Charlene has sent me. I am totally on pins and needles to see it. She is a friend that has been so dear to realize even though I am an artist I totally appreciate and love artwork done by others. That is why before she came into my life I have collected Mike M from the daily painters, Sharman O. also from Daily painters, and from artbyus.com ~ Conni Togel, from eBay~ Diane Whitehead and Mary Jo Zorad. This painting is of an artist painting in a garden and I CANNOT wait to set my eyes on it! I already have a place picked out to hang it...after I get it framed!

Another blogger has been in touch and she is an artist that lives just east of me in The Colony. I love the friendships that have bloomed from the artists daily posting.

We traveled with Morgan and Hillary up to Pilot Point yesterday to eat Mexican Food at our favorite place. BUT sadly the food was NOT up to normal FABULOUS. Neither was the wait staff. I think they were having a bad day. We will go again in a few weeks to check it out. It was fun eating with the kids and catching up with their world and Hillary treated us which was unexpected!

Today today.... packing and shipping, but it is raining and I am not sure about varnishing...eek, should have sprayed yesterday. Might sneak in a trip to Mt Vernon this week...it is our anniversary and I would love to see our best friends and their farm.... I get to take loads of pictures!

Share a smile today!

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...
