Well the color was fun as I approached it open hearted and no color palette in mind. Bits of Liz Hill floated through my mind but Liz is not handy to say "NO" to me.. and I am afraid to try it and let go further without Liz's urging. This will sit for a week or more as I decide what to do for the next steps. Rushing into things was something my Dad frowned upon. Planning and making lists were his main guide in life. He kept his tool box full of ideas to push himself to be the best he could be and he taught that to all three of his children. Thanks Dad. I will remember there are times to back away and let life happen. Things tend to work out better that way. I love you. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio
As I began this one I used one of my sketches from long ago. always something new to create with it. By doing something totally 180 degrees from what I do daily, I am able to stretch my mind and let go to try things differently. This will get an entire coating of acrylic paint but in the end I will probably hit it with the knife and oils. I often talk about the many layers of a painting is no different than the layers in our lives. Every layer is a new experience. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio
