Un-named Painting New Me Abstract Horse Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace,

Un-named Scraped Painting

This is the final shot of this before I scraped it. With out white paint I could not finish it.  I am so thankful to Jim at Asel Art in Richardson that sent me paint that arrived 36 hours later and I am able to paint again... and revisit this same profile starting from scratch. When I work on this painted pulls, my signature Painted Ponies, I work wet. It is difficult to go back and move the paint around or add paint once it is dry or beginning to dry. Someone emailed me and ask if I had a picture of the painting before I scraped it...so here it is.
marked SOLD for DP but really non existent.

NEW ME

This was a good lead in thought as this painting will begin again, just as I had encouraged you to do this week.  Sometimes starting over seems exhausting as we over think how to reinvent ourselves.  That alone is overwhelming and why do you need to reinvent yourself?  I know I almost dread approaching this canvas!




It is a matter of discarding the negative images that seem to control you. If you begin to focus on the positive and refuse to allow the negativity in, you reinforce the foundation of self and begin to remold the person you are...like a reshaping in a sense.  Sometimes we limit our ability to move forward by fear of failure. Sometimes we limit our ability to love ourselves and others by fear of not being good enough.

My dear friend, our Heavenly Father created you and you are precious. You have taken on things in your life that camouflage who you truly are. Hiding behind insecurities and presumed inabilities.  Is it possible to just stop and accept this and begin to let go of some of those?  Write down a new vision. Write down some small new goals that are out of your comfort zone.  Don't wait...the time is now to begin this new adventure.

In support of many artists on Contemporary Fine Art International, I have joined Operation 47 with Kimberly Conrad and many many other artists as we take that stance to change our lives for the better and to start now.  I pulled back out the Wii and bought batteries so I can do the 45 min program I was doing before we moved to the lake last year. Terry and I walk at least three or four days a week, so by doing this and making sure I do it, I have committed to 100 min of exercise a week. That is not much, but it is a start. I have other personal issues I struggle with and God knows what they are. I grow stronger as I realize so much of what I worry with is UNIMPORTANT.

Join me and lets revise or reframe our goals and values and our intentions in life. God will guide us in our spiritual journey and support us in our physical transformations.   Lets Celebrate the NEW ME in each of us.  God is smiling.

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...
