A Painting a Day



Well, this is a hugely busy time for me with the late shipments to Earth Works for the Show opening this weekend, but I had a request for a commission painting. It started with talk of a small 8 x 10 and after we visited and I saw the photos I suggested the Pop Art approach... and here it is! Finished in time for their anniversary next week and I will be shipping it immediately! I still want to do a small panel of them kissing ....but the photo that was sent was really blurry...but I am hoping I hit it close enough. All in shades of grays, with touches of flesh and crimson tones for accents. Unusual and pretty cool.

Today is Terry's birthday. Not sure what the day will hold. He is still asleep. I was up early to finish this painting...and now I get a two to three day break from the studio...will try and post paintings that I have been working on for Wyoming.

As I am taking a break, I urge you to take a break...linger in the loving care of Father/God. Let his love warm you to your core and his light bring peace into your life.

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

   © +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...
