Six a.m. Wow I slept in today! Terry is still asleep but there is much to do so I am up as always working. Today is ship and pack day and I must have all my work ready for shipping so he can pack it. I am patiently waiting for a canvas order to arrive. I am down to almost nothing to paint on. Very frustrating.

I spoke with Stacey last night and she bought bacon for 50 cents. She said it was five dollar bacon but with all her coupon adjustments it was only fifty cents. Sounds like she could do this coupon thing for working people and save them tons of money. Wonder if I can hire her. Not going to the grocery store would not be missed.

Terry and Morgan are suppose to bring a load from the Storage Unit. Only about 14 more days until we have to have it empty. I am going to list the Lawn mower on Craig's List today as well. It is a huge one with lots of attachments for a large yard. You could probably cut ours with a push mower now...very small.

Terry says the dogs need psychiatric help over the change in their lives. Do you ever feel that way? Things are running loose out of control and nothing, simply nothing is happening or unfolding the way you thought it should? Welcome to my world. With age I have learned the trick is to float along and find happiness in what is there. Seek the positive and give thanks for it however small it might be. Just like the dogs, it takes time and patience to switch your thoughts from where you think you should be going to where you actually are. If you waste energy and thoughts on what should have been you are wasting your life. God has plans for you.


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...

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.  ...
