Commissioned Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

3 ft by 4 ft

Contact me for Commission Work: Laurie



I was contacted by JJ Baldwin out of Lufkin Texas to paint her mom's favorite three horses. She wanted the fauvistic style I use with lots of color. The painting is drying now and will ship next week, but I wanted to share it with you. This is three ft by four ft in size and full of thick buttery oils!

The weather is gorgeous here, but I heard this morning Easter will be cold and rainy. We bought a ham at Whole Foods last night for Easter and I will fix food for family. Mom and I shopped at Albertsons early yesterday and I picked up one of those precooked chickens. Georgia had told me about the EGG NOODLES in the freezer that are like dumplings. I bought some of those too. I started out with chicken broth and added orange lentils to it and cooked them down. Then I added the chicken I had taken off the bone, onion, celery and carrots. The lentils kept it thick and rich and with some bread it made a yummy dinner. I am debating what to fix for tonight now but have no clue. Probably some black eyed peas and cornbread. We are heading to as many meatless meals as I can push through!

Painting this morning as I did not do much yesterday. I am appreciative of the sales off Daily Painters as well. Terry and I shipped out 8 boxes, many filled with two or more paintings) to The Red Tree Gallery in Atascadero California. Next week I ship to The Rain Bird Gallery in Blanco Texas...and then to Massachusetts. I would like to continue the sales off DP though because shipping work to a gallery does not mean I will sell it!

My painting is a passion and with every day that I paint I grow stronger and my style develops. It does not always grow in the same direction as I bravely try different ways to attack the canvas. It is time for you to recognize the fullness of the Lord with in you. Just as Spring awakens in the air, let the gifts our Father has filled with in you, be put to use. Just as I allow the inspiration out on my canvas, you must allow the beauty with in you to be flowing out to others in your life. It may be to someone on an elevator, or behind the counter at a register, or the older couple next door, but share the beauty you have with the world. Let it blossom out to others. Happy First Day of Spring.

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...
