Process Painting

I took to the studio to play and have fun.  I am putting together my workshop for August at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. 

You can still register at the Gallery for the full two day class or only for Saturday.

Brave at heart... that is what it takes to let go and play. Sometimes we force things on the canvas and try to make them work. I have learned that abstract painting is not for the faint of heart but for the brave soul that will step forward and not be afraid to make a mistake. For the artist that can be swayed and moved and excited by colors blending and mixing...for the artist than senses balance and composition.  

 If you think about it you have to be that way with life everyday. If you are over controlling it is simply NOT going to work. That results in total frustration. Trusting God each day for what happens is the only way to survive and do it with a content heart and sound mind.

 Time to try that with the canvas again... off to 'play' I go.

'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...
