I was so ready to be out of the office last night at eight. I had been in the office since 6:30 yesterday morning... but the effort brought about the birth of a new website, actually two...but one is not done yet. This was something that actually took about 48 hours almost in a row.

The first one was to revamp the site www.ContemporaryFineArtInternational.com 
 
This is a site owned by Kimberly Conrad out of Colorado.  She, Diane Whitehead, Judy Mackey, Mary Jo Zorad, Pam Van Londen, Amy Tuso and I have all been laboring over putting together state daily painting blogs.  The result was to combine into a site Kim started last year and go full tilt. It will take weeks and months to get everything fully up and running, but there is much to see.  To find all the state artists, you will have to navigate to ARTISTS BY LOCATION and then to UNITED STATES and then to the different states.  The only other way is the first page where there is  a list of artists but NOT updated fully. That is on the agenda list.  Seems like only God can do those things in a day. 
 
The slide shows, those were God's.  I do not know how but I do know it took literally hours to follow the hand written directions I had from Susan Moss Cooper of Artists of Texas.  She took a course in FLASH and told me every step last year. I had put slides shows up on my site and the AOT site, but this was an undertaking of FIVE SHOWS on one page all changing at different rates.  Only God can do that, not mortal artist.  PLUS I had just loaded CS5 on my MAC and I only had instructions for CS3. I had to use the older program. 

So now maybe the site will take less work by the week and I can start painting again. I have two commissions I will be starting this week and will be sure to take shots along the way.

The other site I labored on only has a holder page up...but Hall Groat II was so sweet to allow us to use one of his Paintings on the site. If you love the painting, click it and buy it.  Our daughter is going to follow her dream and make your dreams come true!  I believe she will ship across the country once she is up and running so stay tuned.

Hall has it for sale.

Post note:  I reflected on the verse below as we are all guilty of saying things at one time or the other and regretting them.  Sometimes I regret the wording but not the frustration, but definitely the choice of words and loss of calm.  When one takes the time to ask for forgiveness and then is rebuked back, you need to forgive again even when the person cannot forgive you.  My mom reminded me that only you stand before God and He knows what is in your heart over every situation that occurs.  Judgment is His alone, not anyone else's.

Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.--Proverbs 12:18

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

   © +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...
