Horse Art Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

18 x 27 inches
Inquiries: Laurie


My eyes do not want to be open, but tomorrow Terry starts back to work again after six days off. He is asleep, Mom is asleep and I woke and decided to jump in here to paint before everyone wakes up. Seems like once the household is awake and there is movement, my creativity seems to disappear. Hopefully they will both sleep until at least eight or nine and hopefully the phone will not ring too early!

Terry spent yesterday cleaning or unpacking or repacking a room that was stacked with models. Now they are all in my loft in our master bedroom. Here in Texas Boxes plus Boxes equals Roaches. I do not mix well with roaches. I have delayed mentioning this to him but will need to. If he built a model every week, he could live to be 140 years old. I have yet to figure out what we will do with all those models once he builds them. I will have to sneak up next week and snap a shot... then you will have full view of what I mean.

My Daily Word talks about Divine Synergy today. Actually it is pretty good and simple with thought progression. How many of us do not have an issue we are dealing with in our lives right now? I cannot see many hands up in the air. The thought of Divine Synergy goes back to the idea of where ever two or more are gathered in prayer...that simple one plus one equals two. When you have two gathered in prayer you basically create something greater they refer to as combined action Divine Synergy. With this energy of prayer, praise and thanksgiving results follow. It can be a transformation of the issue or a resolution of the issue. So remember when you are heavy with the burden of things, to reach out not just to God but to others in your life and ask for prayer. All things are possible and we gotta have faith.

My favorite mantra right now is WAIT UPON THE LORD.

I did receive a note late last night from a reader/collector requesting prayer for her dog who had undergone pancreatic surgery and taken a turn for the worse. We are dog people here and firm believers that God created dogs to be a stress reliever in our lives as well as add so much love. We lift little India up in prayer.



My personal prayer request is for my St Louis family. This is my Mother's sister, brother-in-law and their children and grandchildren. Transformation and healing prayers are requested as my Aunt is currently hospitalized and in intensive care. Her birthday is just a few days away and I am thinking she will be 87. My uncle is a few years older. Pray for Peace and a gathering of strength for the family.

Grace,
Laurie

I certainly enjoy reading you blog and your fine art. Here I hope you do not mind if I ask you about your SOVN bed. I happen to look for a right one and I can tell it works great for you. Which model did you get and any discount?

I appreciate your time answering my question.
Truman, do not know how to email you! I will write in my blog tomorrow. I am not sure what my model is called. They are all built individually. We have both the coils and the foam. WE LOVE IT! We sleep sooo much better. And no disct. bed and pillows were a bit over $4000.

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.

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

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...
