4 x 6 x 1 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas, Ready to Hang when it arrives!

Contemporary Art Work


Good morning Friday Sept Seventh! Phil arrived in the midst of art classes yesterday. He is a pleasant house guest and delight to sit and visit with. I truly appreciate folks that think before responding in a conversation...so much thought is behind the conversation...not just emotions clouding things. Very intelligent young man, Niki, you did a wonderful job!

Painting this morning is a small one, four by six in size on Gallery Wrapped Canvas. It is available for sale, contact me and make an offer! Think about the holidays and gifts that need to be bought. ART gives love daily in a home.

Deep reading in 1 Samuel right now. Simply amazed at things I guess I had not slowed down to read over the past fifty years. Was deeply moved by the story of Samuel and Saul when the Lord told Saul to wipe out the Amalekite tribe. (They had done bad things to the Israelites when they left Egypt. I think that is like the revenge thing.) Saul didn't exactly do that...well, he was supposed to finish them ALL off along with their livestock etc. He sort of decided he could use the livestock and kept the best of those and then killed everyone but the king...not sure what he was going to do with him. Samuel was pretty darn distressed because he had given Saul the message to DO IT ALL and Saul did not do it all. He followed PART of the instructions from God, thinking there was a better way to deal with it. (Do I read there is an issue with CONTROL in this story) Well that didn't cut it with the Lord and Saul lost his job as the Leader/King of the Israelites. It grieved Samuel tremendously as it did the Lord to have Saul disobey.

Really made me think. Falls into category those little white lies we all tell, or how we are all SOO good at justification of things and rationalizing things to fit our situation and need. My hand goes up guilty of that...for what ever reasons, even some of them I think are for the sake of feelings of others...but again that is not acceptable. I told Terry it felt like there was only BLACK and WHITE....no gray. With our faith in God and our trust it has to be this way. God's love is available to us if we believe. NO gray areas there...just believe.

Read my verse from Psalms today....there is no gray area here either.

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.

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...
