   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Pot of Orange Poppies   Sold I remember the joy of this painting and how the composition of the orange poppies wrapped around the painting crowning the vase. You notice the simplicity of color and the limited palette yet your eye stays active through out the painting. White, blue with a compliment of Orange to the blue... and from the darker areas of Red orange, the compliment of green.   Pretty simple.

What fills your life? I love the simple painting above! Not very complicated.  Pretty Simple. Our lives should be so simple.  It seems to grow more complicated by the day and as we sink lower into our busy lives. ...

Pot of Orange Poppies 24 x 24 Inches Oil with Acrylic Undercoats on Gallery Wrapped Canvas A Painting A Day Sunday dawns with thoughts of Jonathan's 10th birthday party today. I am gearing up. I NEED to be painting, But first things first...it will probably be tomorrow before I paint! This painting is NEW YORK at my show and is the cover of my summer book. This picture does not do it justice as it is layers of thick paint and dimensional overlays. Bottom layer is blue acrylic, everything else is oil. A tremendous painting with power. On this day I ask you to remember you too were created by the Father. You are filled with good and it is your challenge to pass this good on to all you pass today. Have reverence for His creation both in you and in all people. Grace, Laurie “For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I s...

POT OF ORANGE POPPIES 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day Sometimes things are whimsical and appear and this was one of them. I began washing the canvas with a rag and Golden Acrylic Ultramarine Blue. Then I used a palette knife and began layering two others blues on top with white. Allowing that to dry, I automatically flipped the canvas and began to paint. I had seen on Good Morning America yesterday some flowers behind Robin Roberts...orange against the dark blue. That had burned itself into my brain, the two colors, so I loaded my palette with Scarlett, Red, yellow, marigold, white, sap green, leaf green and yellow green, oh yes blue violet, violet red, horizon blue, marine blue, white, black and orange... and to work I went. I began just placing blobs of orange in different areas on the surface and then sweeping the colors of yellow and red through the blobs....I stopped and studied the surface and immediately saw the low rounded ceramic vase popping out at me. I...
