'Triple Red' Summer Flowers Oil Painting by Laurie Pace

'Triple Red'

18 x 27 inches

Oil on Canvas

The Painting: It was a red day and I immersed myself in values of red highlighting with rich oranges and soft yellows. A complimentary background of green pops these summer beauties right off the canvas.

The Thought: Did you ever wake up in the morning NOT wanting to do what was on the agenda for the day? Sometimes we want to break free of the monotony or the constant demands on our schedules and just be free.

What is being free? Free to skip out on premade plans and obligations? Free to walk away from responsibility? Free to lay in bed and read a book? Each of us has our own vision of freedom. Unfortunately in our world it is not easy to find freedom. We have cornered ourselves and covered up our freedom with our lifestyles. We did it to ourselves, no one else did.

Today would be the day to embrace the idea of spiritual freedom. It has absolutely no limits. You have the choice on what thoughts pass through today and what fills your heart. Choose today to fill it with love and thanks staying in constant contact with God today. You will find yourself breaking through many of your own self-imposed limitations by indulging in spiritual connectivity with God.

Choose encouraging words today. Choose uplifting thoughts. Create new positive habits and enjoy new freedom.

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and 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...

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...
