You will see them, make your wish and see them disappear.” Nazhiar Ozar The painting above is available. It is one from a few years ago and it is at The La Jolla Gallery in California. Painted to the tunes of Jack Johnson, inspiration always flows with his music. "Shooting Star is 32 x 48 inches of thick knifed paint and startling colors. It tells a story of life on the open range in Texas and the vivid evening sky, filled with massive constellations and shooting stars.  I was listening to Banana Pancakes as I finished up that evening. Terry was actually making me Banana Pancakes and as I left the studio and walked across the upper balcony of our home, I caught a glimpse of a shooting star across the floor to ceiling window
A Painting a Day ~ Colorful Kisses of Spring ~ Flower Oil Painting by Laurie Pace No. 189 Colorful Kisses of Spring 30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting A Day: Only occasionally do I find myself pulled into working on a painting as I did this one. Working on a large canvas surface of 30 x 40 inches, I knew the goal was color, life, brilliance, softness and intensity. This sets up a definite conflict of interest but a positive gathering of elements in the composition. Memories of my Grandmother's flower garden in the center of her horseshoe drive at her farm outside St Louis, led me to want to create something as fresh and soft as those moments when I would walk through the small paths often in flowers as tall as I was. I cannot count the layering that went into this painting and the depth of color and paint are astonishing. It is available for a good offer. Currently as it cures out, it hangs in my home gracing the walls with the kiss of spring.
