Celebrate the day! Here in Dallas it is going to be sixty degrees today with sunshine.... beautiful sunshine. The house is warm, the water is hot, still no lights, but we are working on it. Terry is busy sealing shut the floor return vents from the old unit. There is so much dust being pulled from those when the new system works that the dust literally flies.

Yesterday Trina and her two children stopped by to visit. I had such a good time visiting with them. I miss painting with Trina. She normally use to come paint every Thursday morning. With me moving all the way into Dallas, I haven't seen her since last fall. The kids are growing like weeds! Kiern and I played several games of Chinese Checkers. Jency collected marbles and rocks and enjoyed just running around close by. Such beautiful children!!!

My internet is up. This is late posting because of the inadequacy of Time Warner Cable. We had no phone service or internet service again today. This happens twice a week. Two and a half hours of ON HOLD and being passed on to a new tech...I finally got one that fixed it. Ron is actually in Irving, next to Dallas. He reset it all and got all four computers up and running. YEAH!!! He is my hero today.

Higher power. Know today that the Lord rules in every area of our lives. He is Lord of all. If you can let go of the control and surrender yourself to him, turning your life over to him, the struggle stops and life in Him begins. Acknowledge Him in your heart, soul, body, mind and spirit.

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

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.  ...
