TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

30 x 30 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Art for the Home



Friday dawns with a possible sale on our home. This is good, EXCEPT there has been no postcard from heaven on direction on where we are to go. NOT even those darn detour signs. Morgan is do over early this morning and we meet the buyers to sign the paper work. Once that is done I will be house hunting...but I do not know where. Kathy, send all available info to search your area!

This painting was a huge HUGE joy to paint. It came out of nowhere and it has such an attitude. I hope you enjoy seeing it this morning. The colors are my favorites and the composition and balance just rolled in as the painting appeared on the surface. Wish they were all this fun!

You know despite the unknown at this moment, there is a peace lingering in my heart and a tiny bit of anticipation of what the Lord has ahead. Terry and I need to stay out of the way and let him work as we begin house hunting. I leave you with PEACE for today and the weekend. It is my birthday week starting tomorrow. We always celebrate a week...traditional here. My dad's birthday is this week too, so I know I will be visiting them as well.

In His Light and His Love,

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...

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.  ...
