CHIPPING SPARROW

A Painting a Day



Sunday morning early! This is another one of my small bird paintings heading for NY this week. It is a chipping sparrow. Stephanie, the Gallery manager wanted a series of my birds. I really enjoy the ease and yet full intensity of painting these little guys!

I was honored last night by high bidding on one of my eBay paintings. Credit given to the Holy Spirit for the inspiration and guidance....it was my triple canvas horse painting and it sold for $1225 to one of my horse collectors in New York. I didn't get to watch it yesterday because Terry and I were taking CPR training, first aid training, med training etc and didn't get in until late last night.

Rain continues to pummel the area. It was raining lightly when we arrived home...and around two this morning huge winds and more rain arrived. We are down to walking the dogs in the back yard on led because it is so wet outside and the ground is very mushy. Paddy would come in rolled in mud!

Sue, if you are reading...hopefully we can catch up today! I had messages from many friends worried about the flooding and rains here. Charlotte even called from her campgrounds in California via cell phone! We are on high ground. Praise the Lord for not having to worry about that.

Know HE is infinite in Love, Wisdom and Power.

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...

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...
