A Painting a Day


This was fun! Really fun. I used to do a series of Pantry items, and I may have to jump back in there! Click here to bid on live auction through the Sat after Thanksgiving. FUN Christmas/Holiday gifts will be listing all through the next Thirty days!

Yesterday I was up early and painted and still made the seven a.m. blowout at JCPenny's with my daughter. She had adopted seniors off a senior Christmas tree and wanted to shop for all four of them...and we did. I also picked up a couple gifts and rugs for my bathroom and the guest bathroom. It was a new store that just opened, so it was stocked well and of course not crowded at seven in the morning. After that I was home painting until after five yesterday. Hoping to see our youngest son here later and Computer guru Mark to help with the transfer of mess to another computer...unless he can figure out how to break down the C divider in my hard drive. Partition Magic is not able to do it.

I had hopes of visiting with Sue this weekend...she bought a camera for her computer, but obviously not user friendly at this time. I saw her online the other day on SKYPE and rang her up knowing she could not see me. I grinned into the camera (face with streaks of paint and my old paint clothes on) and chatted away with air and then emailed her as I clicked the done button. Turns out her hubby was on the other end.... oh my was I embarrassed. I am learning.

Well, I am off to the easel this morning. Blessings to you all. Trina sent me the Kabbalah thought for the week and I want to share it...it was based on the story of Isaac giving his blessing to Esau and Jacob jumping in ahead to receive it....the idea is realizing what little control we actually have and letting go and letting God.

I will leave you with that thought for the week. Grace, Laurie

I am no longer a prisoner of my past - past regrets, earlier traumas, pain and suffering. I believe in miracles and a joy-filled future. I gain the courage to let go! I let go. Of everything. Period.


I am refreshed by every breathe and prayer.
"God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." Genesis 2:7

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 Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. 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...
