Have some friends in Bartlesville, Oklahoma opening a new restaurant, The Painted Horse. Steven Sonnen is shipping Crowning the Hill from Mirada Fine Art to them....and I started this new one as a opening warming gift.

Crowning the Hill

48 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Heading to Oklahoma.

There is so much excitement when you 'begin' something new. The anticipation of what you hope will be the journey does not always pan out... sometimes your expectations are not realized. That is when we have to step back and realize God has His plan already working and we can only go forth in faith and do absolutely the best we can 'birthing' this new beginning. Whatever the journey, it is not about 'us' and 'our expectations', it is simply about Him and doing it in His glory. Honoring God by using the gifts He has richly bestowed on each of us. Terry and I pray for 'new beginnings' for Mark and Kelly and The Painted Horse.

"if you are pure and upright,

even now he will rouse himself on your behalf

and restore you to your prosperous state.

Your beginnings will seem humble,

so prosperous will your future be.

“Ask the former generation

and find out what their ancestors learned." Job 8:6-8

'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. ...
