I find my small daily exercise paintings, like this one, to be my best source of experimentation and inspiration.  My first step is to decide on what I'm trying to learn during the session, which lasts up to 2 hours.  Then, before I paint, to give it the same design considerations and emphasis I would a larger painting.  The nice thing is I can learn as much doing these small paintings as the larger ones.  The biggest pay-off has been how it keeps me discovering and focusing on things in my work that are developing daily.  When paintings go badly, as they occasionally will, it isn't as emotionally depressing as when I've invested a lot of work in a larger painting.  Painting the small studies every day lets the bad ones tell me what I need to work on next.

Taylor Cutaway by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

By Laurie Justus Pace
Taylor Cut Away by Laurie Pace Sold    Philippians 4:6 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."    I have not posted here often but will be stopping by. Seems like Texas Artist Barbara Haviland has kept this blog strong.  I will stand in solidarity with her and encourage our other AOT members to join in again.  This Blog was ranked #16 out of the top 80 blogs. My personal one was number #13 in rank.  Texas has some really great artists and I am blessed to be one of them. I know if you see this today, it is really REALLY cold here in Texas.  I am north of the Dallas Ft Worth Metroplex closer to Oklahoma and I am not leaving the house still today!! Stay safe in your journey of today. Praying for all of you that see this blog and read it.  May you be blessed with God's love and great mercy.  Laurie Pace aka Elle Pace WAOW, AOT, OPA Ellepace.com   W...
