These are my Koi that were in my own private collection. I need to sell them because I have not place to hang them in our new house. I had them in my entry hall but they are not a large enough piece for the entry hall. This painting took honors in several art shows and was a headliner in my New York Show last year. The paint is close to 1/2 inch thick in many places. It is done in restful colors of greens and blues contrasted with the koi's gold and white. The custom frame by the Dutch Art Gallery was close to $200. Email me if you like them and shoot me a fair offer. Click here to email me.

"I've Got Your Back." Those were the words out of my husbands mouth as we fell asleep last night pushed up against each other back to back, cold toes to cold toes. As I drifted into preslumber the words echoed in my mind. "I've got your back." I felt so safe at that moment and I let go of all worries from the day.

Late yesterday we brought Mom home from the hospital. She is weak but healing quickly now that she is off the blood thinners. I have deducted blood thinners are not the miracle drug that they are made out to be and most of our seniors are on them. They cause many dangerous situations. Thank you for your prayers... and basically for 'having my back'.

Knowing God is always there, you could hear him say, NEVERTHELESS I'VE GOT YOUR BACK. It is true He does. So next time today or tomorrow when you feel buried in chaos or burdened, please close your eyes and hear him say, "I've got your back". He is our protector if we let Him be there in our lives.


Grace,
Laurie

"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you." Psalm 5:11

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...
