THROUGH THE FIRE
Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

20 x 20 inches

Inquiries:Laurie


We are in Amarillo. We made it in time for a glass of wine at the "Happy Hour" and then hit the indoor pool and swam for about 30 minutes. After a hot shower we ate left over Buffalo burgers Terry made at home last night, fresh cut up fruit and left over corn on the cob. We traveled with our Oxygen Pillows and yes, we both slept like logs...no neck aches or shoulder aches and after 8 hours in the car...that says a lot!

Our trip out of town yesterday was slow. We finished packing up the car about ten thirty, made a stop at the post office and then stopped to visit my dad, who is in respite care. We left Dallas at 12:30 and headed north to Denton and then North west to Amarillo. Next stop today will be Denver to see Uncle Charles and Aunt Barbara; Thursday we will drive from there into Jackson.

Morgan was settled into the house and the dogs were happy he was there. The plants inside and out have to be watered and maintained along with the dogs. Last weekend he popped a string on my favorite guitar...I have one left with six strings on it, hopefully it will stay in tack.

I give thanks this morning for the safe journey thus far. I give praise for the love that surrounds our family and for the gifts God has given. I think for us today will be PRAISE day and we will spend it sharing the beauty and giving thanks! God has abundantly provided for each of us. Believe in Him and believe in abundance...it is yours.

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.

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...
