A knifed painting with much action for attention and energy in the room! Thick creamy oils applied with the palette knife always brings interesting compositions!


Well, we closed on both houses yesterday. BUT we do not move for 10 days. It is the count down. I snapped a few more pictures when we were there on Monday. I hope you enjoy them. THIS is the furniture of the old owner...mine is not there yet....give me the 10 days please!

This is the loft in the Master bedroom. Terry told me he wanted to close it in for a
cedar closet but I say no because of the light that would be
lost coming in the windows in the loft.


This is standing in the entry hall looking south into the living room and dining room. The
glass doors on the left open up to the enclosed garden room. It is heated and
cooled. I will have an occasional easel in this garden room.

This is standing in the kitchen looking into the breakfast area which is off another patio.


This is standing in the third dining area with the garden room off of it.
In this area is a built in cabinet, very typical design of Frank Lloyd Wright. The
top of the cabinet has tiny tile in designs using red, yellow, blue and white
but the last owner painted it all turquoise. Terry says we can remove the
turquoise paint to restore the old tile.


This is where I will put the larger part of the studio.


Well, I am off to paint. I have two new commission pieces. One has to be done by Friday to dry. The collector has a Christmas party and wants the new piece in by then. The other is a young mom from Georgia that saw my work on Daily Painters and she wants a painting of her young daughter with one of their horses. She saw the other painting, Precious Moments, and send me her family shot wanting to surprise her husband for Christmas. I will be working on that today.

Daily Word talks about MOVING in the right direction today. I pray that might be a good sign for us as we undertake this move. It is an increase in financial output with the repairs ahead of us, so in faith we are stepping out. In life we must prepare for the blessings to come. The Lord wants to give us our hearts desire. I think sometimes we just don't know truly what that is. Your dreams can become realities. Take the first step and believe.

In His Light,

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' 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

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...
