Thanks for supporting Self Representing Artists!



I HAVE LIGHT!!! The Lord is good, my husband was handy. Instead of the horrible track lighting that was there, he bought a huge shop light and will add two more in a few weeks. We bought the day time bulbs so it doesn't distort my colors in my work and presto, I have light!
We also put together the tables in our living room. This is one of the few lights that works in the house, but I think you can see what we have done so far. (Thank you my dear friend for sending the tables!)



"We cannot make something where nothing existed - whether it be a poem, a house, or a painting - without breathing life into it so that it may itself breathe." Elizabeth O'Conner

I read this and realized how profound it is in every moment of our lives. We seem to get in a plateau in life that we just function with out thinking. I know you do that when you drive and I imagine you do it in all areas of your life. Function with out thinking or breathing life into what you are doing at that moment. Just being conscious of the creativity, the making or the work you are doing will breathe life into it. God has created us in His image to be givers, givers of life you might say. In every thing we do we glorify His name and we breathe "life" into our giving.

As you go through your day today, stop at various times and let that moment seep into your consciousness. Then regear and breathe life into what you are doing being acutely aware of every facet of it and how it will affect others around you. Your "breath" gives life to the world around you.

Think of the Lord on the cross and his last words as his last breath gave life to all of us.

Grace,
Laurie

"Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last." Luke 23:46

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...
