A Painting A Day


Good morning from COLD COLD Texas. It is our Easter Freeze right on time.

I worked on three birds yesterday and this one is already sold and has a home to fly to in about a week when it is dry. It was a very soul searching time as I worked on these little guys, I did a robin and a bluebird, both are in my ebay store listed at $89. I have been challenged to do an owl....we will see.

The Good Friday Service we went to yesterday was a moving trail of love from the Lord. From the calling of the disciples, through the entire store of Jesus's moments, candles extinguishing with the story ... we ended at the kneeling alter, each having pulled nails out of the offering plate and holding them in our hands, meditating and praying. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. The service ended with deep thoughts of where we all were in our lives and our walk with the Lord. I know for my self there is so much work to be done.

They have put the church building on the market. Only on Thursday at Service had I said to Terry "What a marvelous place this would be for a studio." It is two levels, built in the old fashion way of a 2/3rd's basement for the gathering area, kitchens etc, and the sanctuary upstairs with absolutely stunning hardwood floors. They would take your breath away. It has north/south windows and it is a brick structure. I can't imagine this being part of my path, but if it were I would not be disappointed! I have to look to Him and know He has my path cleared ahead.

Also this week found me in touch with a long lost cousin I do not remember meeting, altho I do remember his older brother. We have emailed back and forth this week finding out more about our lives and our goals. He seems to be a bit off the beaten path as I am, so we have much to visit about! He is the grandson of my favorite great aunt and sharing stories of her is so heart warming.

My diet, hummm...was doing great until I discovered the cadbury mini eggs filled with DARK CHOCOLATE. I have discovered it is mighty good. Yesterday became my C day.... I ate all C items, Chocolate, Cheese, Cheerios, and Carrots! Terry asked me this morning what letter was the letter of the day today!

Have a blessed day!
Grace,
Laurie

Equally wonderful work Laurie,
and a fantastic use of color, my favorite part of painting.
And your right, Dark chocolate is the only way to go.

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.

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...
