Flower Painting, Blue Hydrangea and Pink Geraniums in Pots by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Blue Hydrangea and Pink Geraniums
Bobbie Jean Pots
Talk about OUT of the BOX... this is it for me. I have pots from my decease mother-in-law that are wonderful. THE REALLY old clay pots. Terry filled them with different flowers for the summer and I sat outside and sketch this out on ...hold on... 6 x 6 inch linen canvas paper.  Then I work in acrylics for a change in pace.  If I can get out of my box, you can too! Enjoy this tiny beauty... ready to slip into a frame and enjoy.

While I was working on my plants and pots... Terry began painting. He is very good in art with drawing and rendering. He has not painted in years. Tomorrow you will see his sailboat painting.


MOVING FORWARD

I wrote a friend in North Carolina yesterday about my life.  Right now I am so exhausted I am struggling with health... mental and physical. The trip to Santa Fe took all of my spunk out of me... it was a hard turn around. What I do know is life is continuing to move forward. My choice is to know with confidence that God is in charge and He has me close in His embrace.  If I did not believe this I could not make it through this day or the next one.

One's fears and anxieties and issues keep you from living life forward. It is like trying to drive your car with the emergency brake on.  To move forward you have to not empower those things in your life. Refocus on Christ and keep Him centered in your life. While you are powerless, He is not and He promises to care for you in all ways.

Refuse to give into the problem. Celebrate an understanding with God and move forward to prosperity. Make room in your life for His highest good for your life.

In the club 47 challenge I am averaging 45 min a day in exercising.  Totaling for the past 6 days I have 165 minutes invested.  Hopefully today will add another 45 minutes putting me at 200 minutes for the week.

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...
