A Painting A Day

SOLD SOLD SOLD OFF BLOG!



So much rain and water, but I do believe we will have a break for a few days. HOPEFULLY we can get the yard mowed. We are still walking the dogs five times a day and they do not understand why they cannot get out and run!

This painting was inspired by all the water and all the rain and the colors of summer with the rain. It is painted with a wide brush and COLOR COLOR COLOR! This is not my normal subject but sometimes we have to try new things. I spent an hour with Conni Togel on the phone yesterday as we bemoaned the fact that we needed a vacation together and wanted to find a good workshop. She has to wait until the kids are back at school and we have to work around her show schedule.

Yesterday I picked up my printer. I will soon have available beautiful Giclee prints...embellished and ready to hang of limited selections of my work. Stay tuned in the next two weeks on my website, www.ellepace.com

Have you ever been in a thought dilemma trying to make a decision, struggling as you compare your pros and cons? Did you stop and think GOD already knows the answer? He is waiting for you to let go and get out of the way! As Niki reminded me, we have to stay proactive...even if in prayer and some motion to begin to investigate each alternative. He already has the plan laid out...trust.

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...
