SPRING LOVE, horses, western art by Laurie Justus Pace

Oil on Canvas
24 x 30 inches on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Contemporary Art inspired by the ART OF GOD


Tuesday morning brings a brisk breeze outside and a hint that fall is to come and heat is almost behind us. I will be working in the studio painting today. I was going to go into Dallas with Terry, but there are WEST NILE warnings out both here in Denton county and in the Lake Highlands area where we would be working outside. Terry and I can be standing next to each other and I will have 50 bites and he won't be touched. Enough said!

This painting is available in my eBay store, or heck, just email me! You save more buying from me directly anyway. Currently this painting is in a shop in Rockwall,but can be picked up and shipped directly to you.

Yesterday we took our baby car to the fix it shop again and maybe they will get it right this time...on putting the truck lid on with out angling it or shimming it. We are in a lease car from hertz. They picked us up at the auto place and with in the 5 mi ride to sign papers at the outlet I was wheezing. They certainly do spray alot of nasty stuff in those cars. As we entered the shop they knew I would not take the car they brought. Too bad, it was a Trailblazer. Instead we drove off in the office manager's Pacifica by Chrysler. NOT comfortable and drives very wishy washer compared to our Passat. I think I will have it till Thurs or Friday so I will smile!

There is much reflection today as to that day several years back. I was at work and got an email that something was happening. We switched on the TV as we heard the first report of a small plane hitting the first tower and I was standing there watching live as the second one plowed into the second tower. That day will stay in our minds just like the day President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. I was in elementary school then, I was eating lunch. Today I will paint reflecting quietly for the lives lost and the families still rebuilding.

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...
