" This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" - and I am the worst of them. " 1 Timothy 1:15 Poppies The year was 2006 My colors went opposites and bloomed into these poppies.  I went through a painting period of painting a frame around things in 2007. I painted two of these but this was the first one and my favorite! Nine blooms in the pot and one on the counter. Not really planned, but i know you see the canvas was BLUE and I did the white inset frame that shows up almost all the way around.  Notice how the white/with blue... triangles into the flowers on the left. That brings your eye straight into the painting. The whit...

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...

Summer Rain Poppies 2007 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day We are off to Grapevine and the bank in a few minutes. I just finished this HUGE 30 X 30 inch Poppies in the rain. I did one similar last year and loved the colors playing in it and decided to do a similar one. It is emotional! The palette was three different reds, orange, yellow, marigold, white, leaf green, yellow green and sap green. I threw in a bit of Blue Violet as well. To me the flowers seem to be floating and dancing!!! My dad has been struggling with some heart rhythm issues but hopefully this will be resolved this week. I know the stress on my Mom is doubled right now. Please keep them in prayer. DOGS, they are home. Paddy had his FIX ME surgery yesterday and he doesn't even realize he is missing part of his anatomy. Annie on the other hand, had five large cysts removed and at age 8 she is moving slowly and not really happy! The vet did give us HAPPY pills for her when the storms blow throug...

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...

POPPY RED 16 x 20 inches Oil On Canvas A Painting A Day $169.00 A quick note before I go take my two miles walk with Talana. We are TRYING to get some exercise. Today is also teaching day. I will be preparing watercolor paper for the children and finishing up another painting. Terry and I worked in the yard yesterday watering in the fertilizer they put on a few days ago.
