The Painting: These beauties live in the Valley here in Texas.  

The Thought: Friday night we played dominoes with family and had a riot of a time.  My sister-in-law Leslie is a remarkable opponent in any type game and I love playing with her learning from both her and brother Kirk.  


Saturday is truly just beginning as I am blogging a day early to post tomorrow on the fourth of July... the wedding day.

Saturday is filled with the Bridesmaid luncheon and the rehearsal dinner. We will mainly be on the road most of the time driving from here...50 miles to there 25 miles and back there 50 miles.
The luncheon is at a place called the CHOCOLATE ANGEL.  Not sure what to expect. Folks that have already lunched there said, 'Don't get excited and you won't be disappointed.' So we will see.  

The rehearsal dinner is at a Mexican Restaurant in Lewisville.... so Saturday is a high calorie day.


Reflecting on the Fourth of July... so many memories of years past, from my grandmother's farm in St Louis, to fireworks on the River in St Louis. (The Mississippi River) To fireworks after the baseball games the boys played in when they were young.... to Terry's favorite of eating Mexican food at Uncle Julios and then watching the fireworks in Dallas... and now we will have a new celebration of Justin and Tara, a wedding date easy to remember.  

God Bless American... the land of the free and the brave.

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 Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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

   © +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...
