Deep breath and start running! The House Painters finished up painting the outside of the house late afternoon yesterday. YEAH! They pulled all the heavy plastic that was covering the windows and I am no longer living in a bubble! Today they will be in the house working in the garden room repainting that area. Also had the window men here yesterday replacing windows that were installed incorrectly last week...well they put in the wrong windows. They have to come back next week to finish it as the wrong color insets were sent. Murphy's Law, right??

Murphy was obviously a man of great faith to survive it all!

I am writing on team work today. That could apply to families, friendships, working groups for pay or with out pay. In life we have to find a common ground to get along. When there is a team there is always a mixture of personalities. Yes, this applies to families too. No one thinks the same, no one shares the same background and experiences. Isn't God wonderful to bring us all together? Now we have to learn to let go and listen with respect to all the views and input from each person. Working in harmony we are able to reach higher than if we did it alone. God did not plan for us to be ALONE. Every person is filled with a lifetime of input to share and we have to work our way around difference in personalities or opinions.

I have the blessing of working with six members of Daily Painters on our advertising. The artists I work with are all incredibly talented not just in their painting, but in their creative ideas for the ads. I have to sit back in amazement as ideas come across my computer screen!
In American Art Collectors current edition DP has a huge spread of several pages near the back. This magazine is amazing so if you are somewhere that carries it, look up the ads from the DP's. I give thanks to the great committee I serve on and to Micah our leader!

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...
