Good morning! Today is gorgeous, sixty degrees and sunny. I could not have ordered a better day! I give thanks and praise to the LORD for His beauty and the weather!
Meanwhile this morning I finished this Venice Sunrise and have it listed on Artbyus.com.
THICK paint in my tradition but with a paint brush and brilliant colors.

I am working on a second large commission piece of roosters today, so maybe tomorrow I can post that one...it is a long paint with it with at least seven layers of paint and impasto!

Yesterday at the grocery store we were checking out. Krogers always hires mentally challenged individuals and we have always appreciated this. I think more so after losing Grant. As the man was trying to figure out how to use our cloth grocery bags (I take my own) Terry gently helped him and was so tender with this man, who was at least 35 years old. I sucked it up but by the time we hit the door out I burst into tears over Grant and realizing he would never have even this small opportunity. I had to really release the tears and know he is with the Lord and it remains to leave emptiness here and often we will be reminded of him. Hopefully I will grow stronger and not break down so easily. My lesson is simple, trust and know Grant is with God and this is part of His larger plan.

Grace,
Laurie

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...
