IRIS Back Yard Blooms

11 x 14 giclee

A Painting a Day




Well, the big thing arrived. The 98oo printer. Egads it didn't look this big in the store! I am finishing up work to send to New York for next weekend and decided to send some of my prints from my Backyard Blooms Series. This is a favorite. I miss these iris...I had a huge group of them in my backyard at the old house. Should have brought some with me!

Preparing for this show has been a huge drag for me with my brain only half functioning from the wreck. For example, I forgot to order the clear bags for the prints in the new sizes. I have old ones for the regular size prints. It will be $60 in shipping to get those babies here by Tuesday so I can ship them to the Gallery. We are actually on VACATION next week and suppose to be in NY and here I am still trying to get ready to go to NY. What is wrong with this picture?

What is wrong is my frantic place of mind. Trying to do more than I should and not trusting that God has it all in His hands as I fumble around. I can only do what I can do and do the best as I do it mindfully. The things I cannot get to I must let go of. Try it in your life and let me know what happens. Choose your battles, don't waste negative time or energy on a something that has no value or gain to the world. If you are battling over a principal, forget it, wasted energy to make people into something they will never be. All the words you gather with the negative energy to make your point just cause pain with in you. What are you seeking in the end?

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...
