RACE FOR HOME ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

30 x 30 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Art for the Home




Sunday dawns with new times and hours. The skies still are inky black outside and it feels like seven a.m. but it is truly six a.m. I am struggling to finish all of my blogging because I want to paint the sunrise this morning! This painting was completed with a wide brush and lots of contemporary color as I tried to capture the horses neck to neck racing for the stable.

Yesterday Stacey and I hit shopping at six and then off to Dallas to house hunt and have a girl day of hair cuts and facials. Terry drove in and we retraced our steps through several houses and had dinner at Sweet Temptations. (Yes Tom, we ate again...he mentioned to me via phone I was eating all the time according to my blog!) We returned home through the massive mess at the Texas Motor Speedway to our waiting pups. They were happy to see us after a long day away.

Do you ever feel pressured like you don't have enough time to do something? I feel that way with house hunting. I am already worn out after two days. This is the time you must remind yourself that you are beloved of God and HE has limitless resources ready for you. Feeling pressured I will spend the day painting and praying and meditating on the Lord. I will be counting blessings and listening for his divine guidance in our decisions. He will provide the resources I need and I will trust in him.

Shalom,
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...
