Early Evening Dusk ~ Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 36 inches
Oil on Canvas

CONTEMPORARY ART for your home.




This is a second in this series of reflections. The first one was in coffee colors and this one is in blues! I noticed after I posted two paintings last week with horses and reflections there are several artists inspired on to paint horses and reflections! Paint on!

Gee, did I sleep last night? I was here in the studio working until eleven. Fell into bed and slept and I am back here at seven. I just finished my bible study ...it is on David in 1 Samuel. Pretty deep reading tying in the bond of the covenant between David and Jonathan and the bond with three with the Father. Then the covenant through the bread given to us as when Jesus says He is the bread of life....so much to reflect on this morning as I paint.

I had a comment on yesterday's work from Blue (Michael) and I wanted to email him and didn't know how...so if you are reading this, I did leave a comment on your blog, check it out! It amazes me how many people stop by to share my thoughts each morning and if anything small reaches to you I know my "ramblings" are the bread I share with each of you.

The relationship between David and Jonathan was amazing. I would put it equal in love and respect that I have for my own husband with our covenant we made with the Lord. When I reflect on my friends per sae, I have a friend from jr high and high school that I feel emotionally knitted to because we endured the tightest friendship through those teenage years and our mutual love and respect has lasted through the past 30 plus years. We live far apart from each other, but when we talk, the years and moments apart do not exist. We do have a covenant, a trust, a love and it is a forever thing bonded by God.

Reflect today on covenants in your life and who you are committed to through the unity of a relationship blessed by the Father.

Shalom,
Laurie

"And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul." 1 Samuel 20:17

They call me Blue said…
Once again you have presented a beautiful piece of artwork. I am particularly fond of it, do to the fact that Blue is my favorite color, but what would you expect from someone they call Blue.

I sent you an email to your aol address, I could not find the entry you said you had left on my blog.

I am busy on your new feeder, you will love it. The birds will love you for it.

I keep my eyes unto the hills from whence my help cometh.

Peace, Blue

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...
