The Painting: Wonderment always when things go together like this... harmony in painting at it's best. Holbein Duo Oils and Liquitex Acrylics all in tune together with the Spirit and my paint brush on canvas.


The Thought:   We are connected through life with our ancestors tracing way back to early times and the development of man as he made his way finding food and making shelter as he left the Garden of Eden.  There is basic instinct to survive in all of us, put there by God so we don't just give up and starve to death.

This painting is called the Hunter in reflection of that strength to survive. Horses in the wild have a natural instinct to be aware of danger before it hits using their sense of smell and the changes in nature around them. They are constantly listening and sniffing. 

God has built this into us as well, but I do not think we use it to our advantage.  Our control issues are more important than our listening.  If we would do more listening...pausing, waiting to hear and know, we would be in less confusion and stress in our lives.  In my painting the HUNTER is pausing to sniff the wind and listening carefully to the sounds carried by the wind.  We get these same messages provided for us, but are we pausing to listen?


Believing in Abundance,


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' 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...
