The Painting:  After painting the Warrior of Old this weekend...and it selling today, I decided to try this approach to the canvas again. It is ever so important for an artist to continue to stretch their minds to climb out of the "box" that holds them into new areas...and NOT areas already being explored and sold by other artists...but new areas. It is truly hard to be original with out having a bit of "other artists" touching in your work, but it truly should be a spiritual experience as you work on your pieces...a passion and a love from your heart.  So embrace my newest in this small pieces of this Gallery Series Spirit of the Equine.

The Thought: Terry is still home with pneumonia.  We continue to work on that puzzle we started before Christmas and I believe we might have it completed this week. Looks like we lost one piece of the daisy flowers, but hopefully we have the rest.  I will take some pictures to show our work..

There is a certain delight we share as we conquer this mindless puzzle of 2000 pieces.  It puts us together for hours with out the tv or computer and I love this. We both take pride as we work side by side on this simple puzzle celebrating and giggling with every "found" piece.

I wonder if God feels that way as each of us "FIND" our peace with Him? God delights in providing us with our heart's desires.  It will never be on our schedule but on His.  Everyday we are to serve Him and do what we can for Him in that day.  He will wait as He wants to see you be a blessing to others.  Nothing blesses others better than knowing that real joy of trusting God and believing with out doubt that He works on behalf of those who love Him.

Are you a lost puzzle piece in His Kingdom?  Time to be found...and placed in the perfect spot to complete both your life and His plans.

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...
