Best Friends Two ~ Child and Pony by Laurie Justus Pace

18 x 24 inches Oil on Linen Panel
SOLD Commissioned Painting



This is painting I was working on before the move. We are in the midst of boxes everywhere right now. The studio had breathing room but is now boxed in. Below I will post pictures of what is happening here in the house as we go through the renovations of this home.

Remember with this second week of advent to prepare yourself. Forgive someone today and remember to in turn ask forgiveness from someone you might have hurt.

God's Light to you! Pictures below. I could not figure out how to type next to the picture. Sorry for the mess and I am out of time~

"But now, for a brief moment, the LORD our God has been gracious in leaving us a remnant and giving us a firm place in his sanctuary, and so our God gives light to our eyes and a little relief in our bondage." Ezra 9:8



This is Terry's dad, Ben, repairing a leaky shower for us.
This is the drip that kept us awake the first two nights here in the house. Eventually in January we will slate this entire room.


















This is the loft above the master bedroom. They just finished the flooring on this level yesterday and it looks really nice.

The floors are mahogany wood and have so many beautiful colors in the wood. This room looks down on both the bedroom and the enclosed garden room, which you can see the pictures below.
Most of yesterday Morgan worked on scraping wood in the entry hall. Uncle John worked on molding and caulking. I scraped with Morgan until I injured my hand.




below is Morgan Working.
He has one more job to scrap on the rounded wall in the living room. It may take a few hours to complete.

This is the loft and view from the loft.
We are painting the bedroom sometime this week.

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...
