Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

Contact Wendy Rogers at THE RED TREE GALLERY California for pricing.



Wednesday, is there a song about that? Other than the old saying of HUMP DAY and getting through it for the slide down to Friday, I can't think of anything.

The painting I have listed is available through The Red Tree Gallery in California. It ships there this next week along with some other pieces I am working on right now. Such an exciting time as a new gallery opens it's door. I am honored to be a part of this and give my thanks both to the Rogers as well as to our Father for the gift of art.

There are so many things in life we strive for and many things we cannot seem to get that we want. I am not addressing the physical, but rather the spiritual. If you are down and seeking happiness, the key is to act happy. Put a smile on your face and look in the mirror to see it. Do this over and over and you will find your life begins to pick up hope and happiness creeps in. My mom always told me, no matter what you do, get up every morning and put your face on. That alone makes you feel better. She is right, it does. I often go weeks with out makeup but the moment I put it on, and not a lot of it, but a bit of blush, mascara and some lipstick and my whole appearance perks up and I stand a bit taller and smile a bit easier.

I think that would apply to our journey with the Lord for so many that are in between on the direction of their journey. Take the step of faith and just finally say to yourself, HE IS IN CHARGE. Then let it all go. Even if you do not believe it fully, let it go and let your life be in His Hands. Fake it until you make it. It truly will work. Even when you doubt prayer works, pray again...and again....and again. Make it part of your life and your day and you will find one day that the Lord is woven into your life and he provides all you need.

This all goes back to Pavlov and his dog and Conditional Reflexes. Through the practice of prayer you will find peace.


Grace,
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...
