A Painting a Day

SOLD SOLD SOLD
THANKS!!!!


This painting is at the New York Gallery in Penn Yan. I have placed a few of these pieces on sale in my eBay store to clear them out before I go up for my show in mid July. This is a gorgeous painting with thick paint and delightful colors! Check it out.

Raining again as we woke up this morning. We were suppose to have our neighbor come mow the acre...Terry definitely can't do it...and now sogginess sets in! LOL....I will be cleaning today and painting this afternoon later. No medical tests today. My MRI is tomorrow. Anyone out there had an OPEN MRI? What is it like? Terry was NOT fond of the closed MRI, decided he would skip that one next time, despite the HANK WILLIAMS they played to try and cover up the noise of the electronic magnets.

I stumbled out of bed at 4:30 this morning as the storm hit to give ANNIE ( the dog) her half of pill to get through the storm. She gets the shakes really severely. Well, I didn't do a good job, I found it on the floor when I finally got up this morning. I am not a good pill giver. Went back and slept another few hours and I am back up ready to work!

Hope your day goes well. Remember God is always present, ALWAYS. Rest assured His love and grace surround you 24 plus hours a day. So when ever things begin to get you down and your frustration or fears begin to mount, try to breathe and know the Lord will hug you tighter and no matter what the journey, he is there with you through all of it. He sees the big plan we have no way of seeing or understanding. We must simply have faith and share our love for Him with others. Share a smile or two today and remember to call someone you love and tell them "I LOVE YOU".

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

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.  ...
