SOLD



Things are crazy here. I have been trying to update my website but can't get there. I am doing a clear out sale of work from earlier this year still in galleries and a few pieces here. If you are truly looking for art, email me and I can send you the list and prices on the pieces. LAURIE

I sold three new pieces this weekend NOT on sale and then over the past 24 hours a few of the older pieces at good prices. Time to think about holiday gifts for sure, and I will take payments if necessary.

This morning I am late blogging as we had to drive out to the airport for Terry to do his vacation bid. He is thinking more about retirement daily as we make it through these winter months. I was waiting for him in the office waiting area this morning and a group of AA hanger managers and trainees were there conversing. One was remarkably nice and just getting off his night shift. Then there were two men training, new hires, and then two other men, one of which I was ready to brain, but prayed for him instead. Airline mechanics are licensed. They have to maintain their license YEARLY. At Alliance Airport, where Terry was for 12 years before transferring to the hanger at DFW, most of the mechanics held four year college degrees and two years of AP license training. I guarantee that is more than those managers had. The one spoke so condescending toward the mechanics in the hanger as if they were untrained animals. It caught my breath and took it away. Mention of teaching them and having coaches with them for 6 months at a time to train them how to do turnover. Help me Lord. Terry has been doing turnovers for 20 years. I think Management needs to watch how they talk in public. I reaffirm that one of the men coming off shift was not that way at all. Has to be one bad apple in every basket I guess.

Today beware of gossiping and talking where your thoughts are heard by other folks. You might look around to see who is listening but you forget the Big Guy is always listening. He knows your thoughts before you do.

I am off to clean up around the studio and finish up some ballerian sketches for four small commission pieces!

REMEMBER

JOY AND ABUNDANCE

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...
