Wolf Painting by A Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Wolf Painting Progression

I continued painting yesterday...and took pictures as I went. The painting has changed quite a bit.  The gallery wanted brown and not white, so this tracks the intensity of painting with the progression shots.  Nothing is done until I feel the entire painting has reached a certain point and I have captured what spirit I am looking for in this wolf painting. It is not done yet, Color overlays must change and shapes have to be adjusted.

Change

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."  Maria Robinson

They reported on the news as we are ending this month that it was nicknamed the month of Junuary... instead of January.  Very little snow in the USA and very little cold weather.  It certainly reminds us of last summer and temperatures from 110-117 degrees for over 85 days.   We cannot go back and start over this year...the month of January is gone... so with the climate changing so drastically, how do we start today to make this new ending?  We have to change how we view things.

Climb up where you can see what God offers.
From climate to relationships, from jobs to classrooms... we can begin again today with a new attitude and a new view.  Tonight I visit a local Girl Scout troop to do a program on being an artist.   I will be teaching about climbing out of the box.  That too is another way to start today and have a new ending. 

EVERYTHING does not need to stay the same.  Your habits, your lists, the way you control your day.  Change it up and climb out of that box. View life in a new way as you begin the second month of this year.  When you stay in your box, you cannot see the world around you.  God has created so much for you to do and see and be... are you hiding in your box for a reason?

Words of my heart, Laurie

“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” Psalm 86:5 NIV

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

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...
