"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6 The summer heat has been harsh on our yard and our flowers. We are in round two of sowing more Zinnia seeds. As you can see in the photo above, it is EASY to cull out seeds from the dead or dying blooms and have seeds for more blooms this year or saving them for next year.  The last few years we have not had much luck with our Zinnia beds.   The seeds above are from our Marigolds. These are helpful for gardens in reproduction by bringing in 'helpers' to pollinate. They also reduce bugs in the area.  I did not know till this weekend how many seeds were in one marigold bloo...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 Four Abreast 30 x 40  Oils on Canvas SOLD  by Laurie Pace   COLOR COLOR COLOR... it meets you coming at you with brilliant yellows and vivid reds in this contemporary abstract horse painting! Painted in my Golden Pond Studio in 2010, I am revisiting the heat wave months of Texas right now.  The horses are painted with a pulled palette knife. I love giving each horse their own contemporary look with different colors, so none of the them look the same. I believe this was a commissioned painting but not for sure. Most of these were painted as commissions at this point because I did not want o flood the market and it allowed me the ability to work with colors the buyer loved.  Commissions are welcome right now.
