Still Watching over this painting trying to decide about the touch of color.  I have infused a bit of my favorite blue in this one but not sure it is it enough... what do you think?

 I started on another painting that is a gift for my son, and it is in the process of coming together. I may only post one or two images because it is a gift and not something normal that I paint.  Is there a normal?

 There are times we say no and times we say yes. Each of us reacts differently when asked to participate or do things with others or for others.  More often we say yes too much and it may not be 'yes' to our good or to God's good.  If we have prayed about things we make decisions based on faith and prayer. That you can always say 'yes' to.  'Yes' to prayer and 'yes' to God.

 Anytime you are uncertain, take the time, be it fifteen minutes or two or three days...to pray about the situation.  When you hesitate it proves you are unsure and it is something that requires prayer and faith in what you conclude.  His love surrounds you and embraces you to bring you comfort and peace as you come to a decision. God is always there. It is sometimes hard for me to surrender to Him and to what I spiritually feel and know is the right decision.  I found myself this past weekend struggling with a decision that I felt pulled in two directions. I knew deep in my heart that I should not take action and complete what I was supposed to do,  yet, not doing it made me feel guilty that I would be leaving someone down that I felt responsible for.  I did not do it.  The spirit inside found such peace once I let it go... I felt the peace surging through me.  
"Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you." Matthew 9:29

 May Abundance be yours...

'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.  ...
