Through the Fall Foliage Equine Art Painted Pony Pull Horizon Horses Oil Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Laurie Pace

'Through the Fall Foliage'
24 x 36  Oil on Canvas

A Rare Treat... one of my horizon Painted Pony Pulls.
I have limited the number I paint every year to keep them more collectible.
Other artists attempt to imitate the approach,  but if you ever seen one of mine in  person you realize
there is no comparison in the technique and the paints. 
This is a developed style that I have worked on since 2006.
Read more about it on my website, the History of the Painted Pony.

It was a rough night.  I was sound asleep when Terry woke me at three to see if I felt all right.  I told him I did feel all right when I was asleep... why was he waking me up?  He said he didn't feel good and was worried he had made us sick from something he cooked from dinner.  That woke me up.  Then he proceeded to allow several subjects of squirrels loose into the bedroom.  Heck they went from his cage in his head into mine. Ten minutes later he was snoring away and I looked at the clock at 3:30 and thought, "NO WAY."  

I laid there discussing this with God and I  was up at four thirty and came in  here to work on websites and do "stuff".  Thought I would blog early too. Might as well.


Despite the time it is now, egads 4:45 am,  this brand new Sunday beings with prayer and the knowledge that He lives with in me.  Despite the early hour I am determined to remain positive and not allow old thoughts and squirrels to get in my way this morning.   It is time to allow the creativity to flow and embrace the new day with positive new thoughts. (Which do not include shaking him awake.)

Heck, maybe he needs to celebrate the sunrise with me...but that won't be up until 7am.. that is still two hours away.  I will release my negative thoughts and through goodwill allow him to sleep in peace and I will go about my day knowing this is the day that the Lord has made.

I pray for you an inner peace this day.  Believe in abundance and it will be yours.

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

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...
