Winter White Wolf 
24 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas.  

 Winter White Wolf is at Mirada Fine Art in Denver.  Steve Sonnen can tell you more about this incredible Wolf painting, thick with layers of color and paint. 
Mirada has a broad collection of Laurie Pace’s signature equine paintings.

I started watching some older shows on Netflix because there really is not much on all the cable we pay for that is not full of gun shooting, murder, vampires, and movies filled with panic and bad things happening.   I thought I was safe as I watched reruns of Ally McBeal and Brothers and Sisters. I really like Calista Flockhart and Rob Lowe. I have ordered Rob's latest book to enjoy on upcoming rainy days. I was doing well until I got to the end of Season Three on Brothers and Sisters and Rob's character, probably cast to be about 40, has a heart attack.

Just watching his acting with the headache, blood pressure raising, chest pain, vomiting, passing out... need I say more?  Felt way too real to me. When Terry came into bed I had turned on the cable looking for anything to make me laugh.  It took another hour before I could get that panic out of my own system. Problem was I connected too deeply to what I watched.  As Terry has said, the older we get and the more that falls apart or aches, the more we begin to see our mortality.  I am not sure that I have issues with death itself as I believe I will be leaving this journey to go further to an amazing journey back to the Father.  The panic is more settled about the days before... and realizing none of us know how we will die, or even when.  
We only have this time, this moment in this day to live it to its fullest. To share a hug, laughter, tears and be together with those we love. Time is too short for arguments, grudges, judging and 'standing your ground', as it is really not our ground.  We choose how we spend our time each day. We choose if we are caring for our own bodies and eating healthy and exercising.  But most importantly we need God in our lives....

As the deer pants for streams of water,
    so my soul pants for you, my God. Psalm 42:1

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...
