Forms are beginning to set Horse Painting.
24  x 30  inches Oil on Canvas. 

I did not do much today but finish forming in some blocked areas of color on this horse painting.  I know it will be called Downhill.  Been a busy weekend at the Pace household. TP has been busy beginning our painting process. 

Many thanks to Lee Small of Lee Small Gallery in Ft Worth. She visited and walked through the house over three hours one morning as we bridged colors for the different rooms.  We have stayed with most of her color direction and if we did adjust one, we still stayed at a full dark value of the color.  Right now TP is painting the music room where my baby grand will be delivered on Wednesday... a mid grey ceiling and the walls will be dark dark dark.  I may have to do my own artwork for this room. Not sure what I have in my collections or even what I want in there.  


Our decision with this house was not to rush anything... room by room. We chose to start here because the piano is moving from Stacey's house across the street where I had it delivered in January before the big move.  I am truly loving the idea of having it home. I miss playing.  The guitars have had their workout...and I love doing it with Lady L as she dances and learns the words to all the songs really fast.

Have a blessed Sunday.

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
