The Painting:  I debated whether to put this one up. The colors are so intense and this doesn't show it properly.  I may post it again later once I get a good picture in good light.

The ThoughtWhen I take a photo of a painting, the light matters. As an artist I do not have all the photography equipment that would make it nice, so I do what Peter Togel, husband of Conni Togel, www.Charisma-art.com taught me to do.  Simply take it in natural light.  The picture above was in the studio at 10 at night.. not good light.  

I began to think about that and with the "light" being the most important element to viewing the painting at its best... that would be true in life with all situations.   View them in the "best light". That light of course is God's light.  With the worst of situations, stop and regroup and view it in the "Best Light"   It works on situations, people, unplanned or planned events...it works on everything.  There is always a positive way to view things.... viewing them in the best light.

Yesterday we moved our boats out to Mt Vernon. We had to stop at Royce City and re-tie them down. Terry had the second one piggy back on top of the first one. We have 18 ft DART catamarans. They fly on the water... and definitely try to fly off the trailer on the windy day we had today.  We piled both dogs in the truck and headed off east.   We stopped at a small park just before arriving in Saltillo and allowed them out to water and potty... and then back in the truck to Sheriff Paul's house.  We had to literally tie Paddy down in the back seat as he wanted to eat all Sheriff Paul's dogs, his cows, his horses and his donkeys.  Paddy is a bit aggressive as dogs come. He loves people but nothing else on four legs.   It was a fast trip over and back home.

 This is not our boat in the picture, but it is a picture of how our boat works on the water.
We have a blue boat and a dark red/orange boat.


Terry has had to stay quiet most of the time. His pneumonia is still not clear. We are on round FOUR of antibiotics.  He has still not been released for work.  Taking the boats out today was a major outing for someone that has been resting for two months.  He wants to be well for the summer and sailing again.  Come join us this summer! (It is not for the weak of heart.)

Sorry to hear that Terry is still not 100% over the pneumonia. Perhaps in a few more days ....

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.

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...
