SPIRIT OF THE SNAKE RIVER Abstract Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 36 inches of THICK PAINT on Gallery Wrap Canvas

SOLD



Monday is here...cloudy but suppose to go up to 70 degrees today. Packing and shipping are a priority but so are many other things. I will be split about five directions at least!

I posted this and realized some folks may not understand the painting. I first was pulling the landscape of the Snake river from Photos from our Wyoming Trip. But then I saw the horse with in.... Do you see it? It is the spirit of the Snake River...think of how many horses have cross that river over all the many years it has been in existence.

Saw a billboard last night on the way to pick up an OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGER about six last night.


"FAILURE IS NOT FALLING DOWN,
FAILURE IS FALLING DOWN AND NOT GETTING UP."


Definitely food for thought today. Screwing things up is normal for the human race. All of us have that built in knack of messing up by the day. Am I wrong? What we have to keep in perspective is going forward from the boo-boo and learning from it. THEN nothing is failure...it is growth. Encourage not only yourself when you mess things up but remember to remind those around you that you can not learn if you do not fail. That is when you learn it the best.

Grace,
Laurie

Learning from one's mistakes, picking oneself up, learning from the mistake, and going on, as the artist comments in her blog, is very wise, in my opinion! No wonder her paintings are so beautiful and often spiritual!

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...
