Abstract Figurative Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Contemporary Abstract Figurative Pulled Paintings 
by Laurie Justus Pace 


This is where I went as I began to rework the painting and I love the results. The harsh lines are gone and the blending of the colors lead directly into individual spaces of figures.

 Blending of Spirits

Whenever two are more are gathered...there is a blending of spirits.  First out of the box, I count that as God and me.  His Spirit remains with me day and night and when I am in prayer with Him, for me there is a blending of His Holy Spirit with my physical being.  How else do you have blending of the spirit? When I paint, I have to blend my spirit with His for the painting to have depth and feeling in its composition.


 The next thing that pops in my mind is marriage. When two become as one, blending together in marriage.  And later as children arrive, more blending. Maybe blending is synonymous with 'adjusting'. Every day is a reminder of blending in a relationship, not standing out as a single person but part of a couple.


Then there is friendship. That is truly a challenge when two very different people come together as friends for life. They bring odd differences to the table and at the same time they bring total acceptance for who each person is. Careful not to overstep bounds, and yet protecting and guiding each other through a lifetime of events. 


I think of the stories in the bible as the Israelite tribe wandered together for years waiting to arrive in the Promise Land. They just could not get it all together, blending as a society as well as blending with the Father spiritually.  Through a turn over in generations, they finally found that balance with God and arrived 'home' to Israel.  God had made a covenant with them.


It is time to stop wandering. He is still waiting for you to come home and His arms are open to embrace you.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
