Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

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...

      I have painted many pet portraits this size, but this is my first human! It was a challenge I was willing to accept and am very happy with the results. It was a commissioned as a gift  by one of my collectors. I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do.   Visit my website:  www.melissaatorresart.com Follow me on social media:  Instagram:  @melissa_a.torresart Facebook:   www.facebook.com/MelissaA.TorresArt

  "Brownsfield Relic." this piece is a 16x12 oil painting on canvas, depicting a vintage, weathered truck I discovered in Brownsfield, Texas. The truck, painted in shades of brown, blue, and rust, sits on a grassy terrain under a sky with soft, warm tones, evoking a nostalgic, rustic atmosphere. Creating this piece was a unique journey—capturing the aged beauty of such a relic was simply something I had to do. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a timeless moment in a semi-rural setting. Good day to all and remember to be kind to someone!     ©Barbara Haviland  Barb's Garden 2024 Brownsfield Relic, Ford Truck   Medium oils on canvas Size .16"x12"  by Artist Barbara Haviland Click to purchase Painting.

 I haven’t posted here in a long time, partly because my artistic endeavors have taken a turn toward quilting instead of painting.   But this quilt started as a painting which I had printed on fabric and then turned it into a quilt.  So maybe I can slip it into the blog!  If you are interested in seeing more, let me know!
