The Painting: This is a small study pull for a larger painting. It truly sold before I cleaned up paint up.  I often do these when I am working with new colors and want to see how it lays out.  This is a small piece on watercolor paper with Holbein Duo Oils.  Stunning in contrast with the blues and caramels.  Watch for the big one.


The Thought:  I hate to say SHORT, but it is. I am busy preparing some really neat things for small gifts this year.   Affording art I guess you would say...but only because of friends pressuring me because they wanted them.  We will see if the hard work pays off, mean while I am finding myself NOT PREPARED to get it done by tonight. This day looms very very very intense and busy. I have been working for two hours already at 7:15 and realize I will need to schedule breaks to move and walk or I will be sore later from sitting in the computer chair too long.

Already the prayers are being offered up for the calm peace I will need to proceed today.  In whatever you are doing, I will pray for you and your peace as you take on the preparations for your life as it carries forth.

I am leaving you to believe in His Abundance and Grace,

Laurie

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...

Then added in some CW with George Strait.   Painting is not complete without some Classical and it was Debussy.  This was painted to be similar to a smaller painting created about three years ago.  Now in the sitting baking stage... I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
