Ocean View | Two German Shepherds | German Shepherd Painting

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Ocean View Contemporary Dog Painting of German Shepherds by Laurie Pace 24 x 24 on Oil on Canvas with Palette Knife  -  Commission Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   It was a week of sketching and sketching and getting to know the layout and curves and straight lines of the shepherds before I actually began painting with my knife. The dogs were sketched precisely on the canvas... and the thick paint began to pile high.  These girls are heading to the west coast near San Francisco.  I was thrilled to paint for my collector in the Bay area.  I was even MORE excited she wanted the dogs painted like I paint my wolves.   Once the knife started, there is no telling the direction.

PUPPY LOVE Contemporary Art Daily Painting Dog Schnauzer by Laurie Justus Pace 11 x 14 inches of Oil SOLD Contact me for commission work for Christmas: Laurie I think I am burned out on cooking for awhile. I had everything made but the cornbread stuffing and left that for my eldest son to fix when he got here. It is something that is a no brainer and he actually is a wonderful cook. When he and Jan arrived she and I decided we would work on the tree and I set Justin to work in the kitchen. It only took about 20 min and I had to go assist. What I had forgotten was how totally messy he is. I spent more time cleaning up than I did anything else. I think I clocked in about 12 hours in cooking and clean up. Then when everyone left they took bags full of food and Terry and I will buy another Turkey this weekend so we can have a week of left overs. I told Terry HE could do the cooking! The fresh cranberries were awesome....as was the stuffing. Two of my favorites! I have not had br
