Here is the invitation out for the Colorado Show. If you are in the area... stop by!

The Painting: Brilliant colors spill across the canvas surface creating a translucent feeling of energy running through the horses.

The Thought: Are you filled with God's translucent energy? I was in a situation yesterday that I have never been in before. It was stressful before it occurred, but while I was in the midst of it, I felt Him flowing through me and I was not nervous or distracted by fear. It was God's Translucent Energy filling the fabric of my being, and from it the peace that was needed.

I know each of us face things like this in life. We face people that throw barbs at us and accusations that simply are not true. It is rather hard not to come back to defend yourself, but you do not need to. What is important is what is in your heart and what is between you and God. You are going to fail at times in your life, but pick yourself right back up and keep going.

If you never fail at things you never grow and learn from mistakes. God is there with you, helping you up and dusting you off. Do not waste your energy trying to defend your stance... go with God and allow Him to cover you with His grace.

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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said: "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition: Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet. So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it. Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher. ...
