PINTO PONY EVOLUTION

22 x 28 inches
Oil on Canvas

A Painting a Day

RAIN and more rain. Still have to varnish. We did not get to pack paintings yesterday...we had to cut the grass...it was thigh high and we have an acre of it! Terry spent six hours in the sun doing the yard and I spent the time scrubbing and cleaning the house. We will pack the paintings this morning IF I am able to spray the varnish sealer.

This painting was a pinto pony on a grey blue background....I came into the studio on Saturday and saw something else on the canvas and it evolved! Thick paint and contrasting pulls....very startling in person.

I am up early this morning for one of those I HAVE TO PAINT IT images floating in my head. The household is quiet because we were with out power last night when I fell asleep....I think I slept 8 or 9 hours. Terry is still sound asleep so I am hoping the phone does not ring to wake him. It is only 5:30 a.m. here right now....and I am itching to paint!

Faith and Patience with life is mentioned in my Daily Word today. Instead of tangling up our minds with worry, we should live life giving it all we can and the joy that results is unbelievable....who wouldn't rather have the joy over the worry? Hard to break the habit of trying to control everything. Give your worry validation and acknowledge it and then give it to the Lord. Turn loose of it. The joy begins then and you will feel lighter immediately.

Wow, thigh high grass. You ARE a trouper!
We have a tiny little 5000 sq ft lot with a house on most of it and it's quite a bit of work!

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...
