This is how it begins.   3 ft by 4 ft is the size of the canvas. I literally do not know what I will see in this as I progress. IT IS ABOUT BEING BRAVE There is no rhyme or reason to placement of colors and I usually select random colors. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not...but you learn to flow with the mistakes along the way. I have not shared this in quite a while.. so we will do it this week.   Have you ever found yourself doubting something going on around you?   I sort of felt that way when I started this painting  this way... doubting myself. You may doubt yourself or someone else. It is very easy to fall into the trap of doubting or discontentment with worr...

   © 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.

Lake Highlands High School... go WILDCATS!   We remain close despite the 51 year graduation date.  When did we get so old?  They wanted our class to parade out on the football field the fall of the 50th reunion 18 months ago... Terry and I di...

Line Shape Form Space Value Color  "Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline,  on where that is put. " (William Blake) Th e Pumpkins began to bloom in the studio and it is now time for color.  Working in Acrylic, which is not the medium of choice for me for still life painting, I plunged ahead with student Lisa eagerly jumping into the challenge. Both of the above are my pieces. Remember last week, we began with just values using black and white. Now it is time to begin applying color.  I found it easier with the acrylics to do it layers letting some bleed through from below and you can watch as some change through the process. This is Lisa at work and her progress with her pumpkins. She will be back tonight for more and we will be gearing up for TEXTURE! ( I really see a lot of texture in her current work.) Here are my pumpkins as they...
