Once again I pulled two canvas on each of my easels and painted a second composition of the abstract horses on color fields. The first two I posted on my blog left to live in Marble Falls Texas. They will arrive at their new home on Wednesday. Today I am posting Roaming ONE and tomorrow I will post Roaming Two. They can be owned separately or together if someone wants lively color across the room!


Monday dawns and the sun is already peaking over the horizon. I slept in until six thirty. Very unusual. I am blogging, then feeding my dogs, maybe walking the dogs and then painting for a few hours before we head into FEDEX and then Dallas to go measure at the new house. The rest of the day will be filled with Whole Foods and eating of course. Tom mentioned that I always tend to mention food and eating in my blogs....of course. Yesterday Morgan came to visit with Hillary. We propped him up in the studio (for those of you who missed reading the blog earlier this week, he fell off a roof and trashed his ankle.) He finished three nice paintings while Hillary wrapped my Christmas Gifts and I got to COOK!!! YEAH. I miss cooking sometimes. I made meatloaf, cornbread stuffing, salad and potatoes smothered in onions. I am looking forward to meatloaf sandwiches this week.


Staying focused in life is important whether you are cooking in the kitchen, shopping at the store, cleaning the house, changing the oil in the car; it doesn't matter, you must stay focused. I would highly suggested every morning focusing a few minutes in conversation with the Lord. I always took seriously the thought that God created us in his own image, and if he did that, he wants to hear from me how great he is. I absolutely love it when someone tells me I did something wonderful, or did a good job. Builds my confidence and gives me warm fuzzies. So in reverse, I know the Lord loves those warm fuzzies too. When was the last time you had an open frank conversation with Him giving Him the warm fuzzies? Focus on Him today and give him the time to say, HEY you did it really good when.... or Father, I am so blessed because you have given me.....

Focusing on Him will actually open up your day to relax and enjoy the good he brings into your life.

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 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...
