SNACK TIME
By Laurie Justus Pace

Second in the Series My Buddy and Me



A quick note as destruction is in the process and I must have my computer off and covered.

Terry is ready for breakdown. Yesterday the waterheater came out, today he is taking the heating unit out. Tomorrow the HVAC man is due to come install a new system, but I am unclear on the waterheater issue.

The journey I spoke of for our family is still in the prayer process...please keep us close to heart.

Morgan began a new job today downtown. More on that tomorrow too. I am hoping once this is finished and I am UP UP UP out of bed ...YEAH...we can get back to life. Today I am painting a French Saddle Horse. You will get to see it later in the week as I post. I have new paintings on the camera, but only allowed a few precious minutes to do this blog this morning.

Smile at yourself today in the mirror. Know you are a child of God and you are loved.

Grace,
Laurie

This painting is a charmer because of its two contrasting figures. The artist has painted the little boy as being deep in thought or, more likely, very unhappy about something that he has just been told that he cannot do, or that will not happen, or something of that sort. Contrasting with the boy's body language is the mischievous horse, nibbling at the boy's hat. The painting makes me smile because the two are obviously close friends and I have no doubt that the horse will soon pull the child out of his unhappy mood. After all, who, even an adult, can resist a horse who tries to eat one's hat?

:))) "blh" said everything and I just can smile with him/her.

I'm happy that you are active and painting again.

Blessings from our Lord!

I very much enjoy the posture of the little boy in the fore ground. Very nice!

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...

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.  ...
