'Texas Sunflower' Flower Oil Painting by Laurie Pace

'Texas Sunflower' 10 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for flowers: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2005 The Painting : This is an old painting, but one I pulled from Archive to do a larger version of for this next week. I love the play of colors and movement of the brush. This was a small painting and the new one will be quite large...perhaps 30 x 30 in size. The Thought : The hustle is on for Terry to finish the bath as the appraiser is due on Wednesday morning. My responsibility will be making sure the rest of the house literally sparkles and I have a list of ALL the updates we have done. I may have to do a spreadsheet and a slide show....before and after for him. Hummm Before and After.

'Flower Sprays' 18 x 27 inches Oil/Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: Another piece from the workshop tape I have been watching.

I have found I can actually sleep more than five hours in a row. We slept in yesterday morning until 8:30 am. ANYONE that knows me knows I am a five a.m. riser. I told Terry I could get use to the 8-9 hours a night of sleep. God intends for us to be rested. I am the world's worst of always working, getting things done and forgetting about myself and my body's needs. When I do this I am not respecting my body and its

If it looks small, click it again. © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: Yes, it is a new one, and tomorrow there will be a new horse! Yesterday with a migraine painting was not easy. This has so many layers I lost count, but it is Holbein Oils on gallery wrap canvas and ready to hang. I think as an artist I would probably frame this painting, but it would hang without. The composition developed slowly with under layers of horizontal acrylics in quinacridone Orange, burnt umber and white....(yes). Then came horizontal layers applied with a brush in oils. The colors were predominately blues, greens, and a bit of rose madder. From this layer came multiple layers of color with a palette knife. The photo does not do it justice. The Thought: Yesterday I wrote about not feeling appreciated, but this morning I am in a go go go mod
