Slow to recover this week.. still sort of weakly moving and a headache began yesterday, but I have high hopes of a better weekend as I heal.   I also hurt my wrist last week and probably this time off from painting was needed.  

Terry has been working on brakes on the truck and hopes to finish today before the cold weather hits. It will be in the low twenties by tomorrow night.  Me, I hope to finish cleaning up the studio and the rest of the house. I did half of it yesterday....slowly slowly.


Contemporary Fine Art International has been growing steadily.  We have been visiting on the vision for the future and setting up our goals accordingly.  We are still setting up the United States individual state blogs for painters, sculptors, glass artists, etc, so if you are a painter and reading this blog, contact Mary Jo or me if you want to be apply to CFAI and join us on our journey. There is much ahead.

Conni Togel has joined us and is working on our international blogs. The first ready is www.artistsofgermany.blogspot.com.   She is a welcome help on our international scene.  Watch us grow!


I hope you are still in deep preparation for Christmas.  I was derailed this week but know pray-fully all is in His hands.

Blessings of Abundance...

It was nice to stop by and see your paintings Laurie. I enjoy the color and the movement. Terrific work. I am working late tonight at the gallery and thought i would take a wee break and visit a few blogs for inspiration. It worked! Yeah! Thank you also for the verses. As we do this business alone most times, it was soothing to read them. Blessings to you Laurie. Ross

'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.  ...
