I experimented further with plain paper, layering it patiently with varnish layers and then painting in layers over it. I guess there are about four layers of paint. Today I will add at least five more layers of varnish to the top.

This has been a mission with me to try different things for expression. I have a question and I am sure I will get various answers and probably many of them. What would be your feelings if I used old bibles that are basically in tatters. No spine left, pages deteriorating etc...I am giving thought to using them in a piece of art that would last hopefully another century or more. Terry and I talked about this in depth how reactions could vary. I would only use pages from bibles that are basically in pieces. Almost reminded me a making a quilt where you use pieces of fabric from your past to make something to carry you into the future. I don't know but email me with your thoughts, or leave a comment.

Terry just left for work. Hummm, I think I am glad! He spent the last few days glued to the computer non-stop. Vicki Fletcher suggested I make him a list so he can see it daily on what is left to be done. I will do this today. I finished up the website for her husband, Paul Fletcher, one of our oldest friends and in a day or two I will give you the site to stop in and see it. I have not uploaded it to the server yet. Paul is running for Sheriff of Franklin County, Texas.

Pray for those that will be affected by the rains and winds of Hurricane Ike. I spoke with one of the owners of ACTWDWebhosting also side known as Webhostingforidiots... my server company of 7 years...(they are totally awesome people to work with. Incredible help desk and quick response to questions for us idiots.) and she was mentioning how the folks in Houston are truly preparing for this storm. There will be evacuations as many families leave and head other directions. Unfortunately if the storm continues it's track it will cover the great state of Texas.

I am praying for calm for those so greatly worried, as well as for their safety and wisdom as they make decisions on what to do with their homes, families and pets. Let's offer comfort through our prayers. We can let His light shine through us, even through a hurricane!

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...
