REFLECTIONS Two

Oil by Laurie Justus Pace

18 x 27 inches On Gallery Wrap Canvas
SOLD


Joy to joy this is the day that the Lord hath made! Up to paint early and then get cleaned up for the day. I have been working on pieces for several new galleries. One is The Red Tree Gallery in California, opened by Wendy Rogers and her artist husband Ronald Ray Rogers. I am excited about this new adventure and anticipate a positive experience! Also was contacted by two other galleries, The Rain Bird Gallery in Blanco, Texas and a new gallery being put together in Dover Massachusetts. As soon as I have links on the others I will share them.

I think it is exciting to start out with a new gallery as they open their doors. The Blano Gallery has been around for a long time but the other two are brand new. The Dover Gallery supports children with special needs and a portion of every sale benefits charity. This is a tug to my heart after loosing our eldest grandson a year ago on the 27th of this month. Earth Works Art Gallery in New York does this as well. Artist choose what charity they want the money going toward and with every sale donations are made. What a positive impact this makes, small but steady on passing on what you have to others.

Do something special for someone today in kindness of heart and pass on the joy!

Grace,
Laurie

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13

Your continual heart of gratitude to God is sure an encouragement. And congratulations on the new Galleries. But actually my main comment is on the verse Jeremiah 29:11. It has meant a lot to me over the years. twenty some years back my pastors wife died in a car accident and this was the verse that God gave him. And around twelve years ago his teenage daughter Jessica also died in a car accident and he frequently referred to the same verse as a source of hope. Sorry for the rambling comment but this verse has meant so much to me over the years and pulled me through so many hard times that I had to let you know.

God bless,

Austin

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...
