Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  

Each summer morning in 2011 and 2012, I would rise, make breakfast, clean up and hit the studio painting each day.  100 horses in 100 days for $100.  Really crazy as I could do one 48 x 48 painting and make the same amount!  

I was crazy enough to do it for two years. But it was actually fun when I had the space and place to pull it off!  FOR the full story of this painting, Visit my website blog to see read about these paintings and get all the details here.    

Was it really fun? How did I manage things? This process was something that kept me painting and on the raw edge of creativity.  I wish I could do it now!  Hard to do using oils but they work better. Should I do it again?  Email me from my website and let me know.   If 100 or more let me know, .... maybe I will take the challenge. Trying to get oils to dry is a huge challenge!  Sing this To the tune of Summer Nights from the musical Grease. 
"Summer lovin... had me some fun.  Painting Horses all on the run.   I have a knife special to me, and awesome paints waiting to be..... Summer Horses each day to appear... which one is yours you want to keep near?"

'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...

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...

I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
