Short blog this morning. Hope to paint today. Going to have breakfast and try to get in there and warm up those brushes and paint. 

I sewed the kitchen curtains last night, hanging the last one about nine, but had more computer work to do until almost eleven.  I promised myself today to stay AWAY from this machine... 

I am waiting on an order of canvas from Rupen at www.Canvasplace.com.  He is always good about getting it to me quickly...but I am ready today and it will not be here until next week.  My thoughts are scrambling trying to remember everything.  My official Birthday Week starts Sunday.  Terry lets me have a full Birthday week the week of my birthday.  I get to pick and chose what I do and don't want to do, including cleaning the bathroom. 

Oh the Artists of Texas show opens this next week and I just received my book on the show and the artists in it.  WOW it is a good book, available at LULU.  Also the calendar is there as well.  
If you can attend the reception Nov 6th in Dallas, I would LOVE to meet you.

I just realized I didn't post the link to Ben's Memorial Page to my blog.  Terry's dad was a wonderful man. He brought so much love and sunlight into everyone's life and he is so missed.  If you knew him, here is the link to his Lung Association Donation page.  He died from a lung disease that crept into his lungs in his early 80's.  The doctor said they do not know the rhyme or reason but it happens to a small percentage of the population.  We truly miss his physical presence in our lives, but continue to rejoice in the memories and the legacy of laughter and love that he left us.

'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.  ...
