A Painting a Day

SOLD

GROAN. Break is over. Work is at hand. Terry is back at work and I will hit it hard today. This is a painting I finished on Monday night to list on eBay. Click here to bid.

I have not done a painted pony horizon pull in almost two months, so you have the return. Always a symphony to paint with color and love and great music in the background. I was listening to ANTJE DUVEKOT. Click here.

SHE is fabulous.... I do not know what original site I was on but it allowed you to listen to her music and songs before buying and I bought two CD"s of her and two of Ellis Paul. Actually I just checked on her site and you can listen to some of her songs...GO do it! ANNA is about her grandmother that has Alzeheimers. She talks on the CD about her grandmother and says she wrote the song about her grandmother, but her name was not ANNA, it was Gadda, but Gadda didn't rhyme so she had to use Anna, and then she says, and her grandmother did not live in New Orleans, she was from Gladivitz (I know I massacred that spelling) but she couldn't rhyme that one either, but the rest of the story is true! Listen to it. It is actually playing right now while I am typing.

Yesterday we spent the day in Dallas, I had a full warm wonderful morning with my parents. I made breakfast and ate with them. Terry was at the doctor with his dad having heart stress tests. After Breakfast Mom and I went to STUDIO ARTS in Dallas and took a Water Color lesson together from Anne Nouville. I want to expand more with mom with various teachers to give her the opportunity to learn more. The Studio Arts learning center was extremely well put together. I am hoping to have something similar to teach out of... At noon we all went to lunch and had a pleasant time eating and visiting. It was wonderful too. I had pancakes for lunch as did brother Bill, mom had turkey, Dad and Terry's Dad BEN had chicken fried steak and Terry had chopped beef smothered in gravy and onions. The afternoon found me visiting with Barbie, an old high school friend in from Salt Lake City. She is coming out to the studio tomorrow to visit all day!

Harmonize with someone today. Do something for the good of someone else or for a situation.

Shalom,

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
