Thanksgiving is a day to remember in prayers and thoughts all of our blessings as well as the blessings of our country and it's beginnings.  It is celebrated in the US and Canada, as well as in Leiden in the Netherlands.  Many today call it Turkey Day.  Takes the romance out of the Indian and the Pilgrim story.  But there are many things in our history that tie it all in together.  Read about it on Wikipedia.

We are home from our travels and I have a camera full of TINK pictures. Have to get permission from Tink's mama to put one on the blog, but I will see what I can do.  Daddy Larry did a superb job of  preparing our Turkey Day... and the left overs yesterday at Justin's were even better.  When Terry and I left Dallas late Friday, we stopped in at Whole Foods and picked up a turkey to cook this weekend.  We wanted leftovers of our own.

Today I will be working on the Ocean Prime painting and a guitar painting. The guitar painting is of three of the guitars used by the Kings of Leon.  The research into this group was interesting and even more so when you studied the instruments they share and use while performing.   After that I will be starting sketches for a 36 x 36 x 2 inches mega big sunflower painting and finishing up Krysta's portrait.   Lastly, two more portraits of some gorgeous little girls from Georgia.  It will be a busy two weeks but I love everything I have to focus on to paint.

Before I forget... please pick up a new copy of SOUTHWEST ART for December. There is a FABULOUS 8 page spread for Contemporary Fine Art International in it, filled with some incredible international art work from their membership.

Advent starts this weekend.  Prepare your heart and home for that special birth date ahead!

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...
