The Painting: THICK OILS... passionate color, two horses, no impasto.... need I say more?

The Thought:

I was checking up on the Winsor Newton competition where I am attempting to win $1000 in art supplies for the foster children in North Texas through Covenant Kids. I only submitted ONE painting into the contest. Many folks submitted MANY paintings. If you look at the page I have pasted below you will see that there are only four artists in the top eight. PLEASE support my White Arabian Nights with five stars as I would love to donate these supplies to Covenant Kids to be used in their foster homes.

This pictures hyperlinks to the top eight paintings.
To Vote please click on my White Arabian Horse to the left of my blog or once connected on this page vote directly on the painting from there.




CLICK on the White Arabian (in purple) to the left and please give a five star rating supporting the gift to Covenant Kids. Pass it on to friends if you have already voted. There are only a few weeks left.


We are still on Vacation. Terry is still tiling the bathroom. I did not realize this would be such a daunting task but he is a gifted mason and very particular along the way. He rips it out if he doesn't like it and doesn't think anything of it. I guess I am that way when Painting. If I have a painting almost finished and it is not working, I do not think twice before wiping it off the canvas and beginning it again.

I am glad God only did that once to mankind. He wasn't happy with where we were and sent the huge floods. I am glad He does not do that to each of us whenever we appear to be going in a wrong direction or mess up our lives. We seem to do it to ourselves. We have choices everyday on what we choose to do and how we choose to react to things happening around us.

Choose your battles carefully.

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' 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

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...
