 The painting I just finished of the guitars was based on the guitars played by the Kings of Leon.  Took some research and then decisions as I painted, but the collector liked the composition of another piece that Morgan and I did together several years ago, so I worked toward that as I painted. Kings of Leon rock the Charts with Gibson and Epiphone.  

Here are some of my guitar pieces from 2004-2008
I have played guitar for over 45 years and taught it for 30 years.  I have a 1975 Alverez Classical,  a 2002 Taylor 914 E, and a 2007 Laravee.

2004-2006 I did a series of these in colors and sold about 8 of them at a music store in Dallas.

 2007  This is the composition that inspired Kings Of Leon Guitars and it was painted
by my son and I together for a buyer in Oklahoma.


 2007  A collection of Four

 2008  Three singles from a grouping of six.
 2008
 2008


 2008 for an album cover.



Another piece done and two more to finish for the holidays...and then I will begin a 5 ft by 5 ft commissioned piece...horses of course for a new collector in Arizona.  

Just a quick catch up. We worked in the yard yesterday all day. COLD weather hit last night and we knew we would not be back outside to do much for almost a week. We raked leaves, but did not burn them yet.  Terry clipped hedges and we cleaned up extra trash that seems to blow in from the lake. We hurried through baked chicken and wild brown rice to go to the Christmas Parade in downtown Mt Vernon. It was so much fun to see all the kids and how excited they were with the small local holiday parade.  It is a wonderful community.

Do you remember the writing lesson on what does it feel like to be a blade of grass and you hear the lawn mower coming?? Sue Kemnitz  wrote me back and sent an image of her work... I love it.  I liked what she wrote:

"We are best when in submission to our Lord, letting Him clip away what is unnecessary, or even cumbersome and a drag.  In joy, because we know the final result will be the image of Jesus as He trims , prunes, and then encourages and cheers us on   All in His love and goodness. Enjoy process."
She signs her email.... "ONLY BELIEVE" and how very true is that!



 New lesson will post in the next day or so!  I usually say... prepare for abundance... is it yours..but I will close with Sue's ONLY BELIEVE....

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...
