The Painting:  The first painting was called White Knight.  I wanted to paint the subject again and sought the deep contrast of cooler colors and white. You only find slight soft accents of reds and yellows.  The paint is thick and is Holbein Duo Oils. 


The Thought: The gathering of so much talent took place yesterday at the Dutch Art Gallery. The Artists of Texas had their first gallery showing.  Kay Wyne was the liaison for the AOT group and the gallery and did a fabulous job. 

When you walked in  you were blown away by the intensity of the work as well as the diversity.  None of this everyone painting the same thing.  None of this "your work reminds me of someone else's work".  All original and all unique.  I will put up a slide show in a day or two of the show.

The Artists of Texas is a group that welcomes application for membership for any artist that resides full time or part time in the state of Texas. We jury in the artist at this level and invite them to be on the website and on the blog, http:artistsoftexas.blogspot.com .  Our website is www.artistsoftexas.org.  From this group is a very select juried group that blog on www.dailypaintersoftexas.blogspot.com.
The origination of this group was from email visits with  Jamie Williams Grossman, an NY Artist and fellow member of Micah Condon's international group of Daily Painters, www.dailypainters.com.

Jamie gathers artist in NY state for paint outs and shows.  Both the friendships and the art have blossomed into a positive thing.  From emails back and forth with Jamie, I decided to begin the Daily Painters of Texas and with the help and blessing of Micah we began.  Vernita Bridges-Hoyt and Debbie Grayson Lincoln, both fellow members of Micah's group, helped as we started up. Kay Wyne of Dallas and Debbie Cannatella of Tyler are also an important part of our jury group for new members.

God has blessed us richly as artists to come together to celebrate our gifts.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...
