Abstract Horse Painting Woven Horses by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

WIPE OUT  Woven Horses
With so much scraped paint, I played on the canvas one more time and then Terry scraped it and washed it clean for me. I hope today my replacement paint arrives from Asel.

SOLD for DP but truly a WIPE OUT.

WIPE OUT?  WIPE CLEAN!

That was easy to predict.  WIPE OUT.  Only I do not see my definition on WIKI.  I scanned the entire page and did not find anything like "scraping or doing away with" . Even if it was doing away with one's self or one's painting...surfing or painting.

Do we 'wipe out' in life as well?  I found stories of pollution wiping out ocean life... and that life on Mars was wiped out from a nuclear catastrophe 180 million years ago.  More segments on America's TV show Wipeout and German Wipeout Racing Games along with the creation of artificial life with a synthetic cell that could wipe out humanity? I do not think so.

All of this reflection over wiping out a canvas... or maybe I should say WIPING CLEAN a canvas. I rather like the feeling of 'wiping clean'.  It gives hope where as 'wipe out' does not.  Wiping clean gives an option to cleanse or wash away the unneeded. It allows room for good and growth to build. It gives you an opportunity to begin again.

That is what I hope today if my paints arrive from Asel Art. I want to begin again on my painting. This was a huge first for me... so part of me is anxious to see what will come of a new start. This canvas has seen life already and felt the buildling of layers. The surface is not new... it is used, but it is as clean as it can be.  Could it be a masterpiece?

Perhaps that is something to reflect in life... wiping clean your slate and beginning again with God.  He loves us so much that He provided a way for us to step into His grace and light by receiving Jesus in our lives. When we do that we begin again with a clean slate.  Could you be a masterpiece?

Sometimes I wish we could do that with relationships here on earth.  Humans carry such large burdened rocks that they are unable to being again. Many times repairs cannot be made in relationships because to wipe it clean means to forgive and forget and begin again. Heavy rocks not discarded weigh down the earthly journey.

Much thought for you today...to not wipe out but wipe clean and begin again...with God and with those you love.

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...
