This is one of my top ten favorites as well. It is at Davis and Co Gallery in Houston. 

Color and design are the strong points in this painting. It is not for the meek of heart.  I feel more men are drawn to it because of the strength, but many women like the mystery of the work. There is a gentle presence with the stance of the horses calm in the movement surrounding them.

Often when our lives are in turmoil we begin to wonder what to do to calm things down.  We loose energy wrestling with what we could have done differently and slowly we begin playing that blame game. 

In actuality there is a gentle presence with us all the time... God is there through it all. If we can slow the blame game down and open our heart and mind to just Him, we can find a peace in our quiet contemplation. When we are in a peaceful place it is easier to 'hear' an answer to our turmoil. This gentle spirit of the Father guides and directs us when we are open to allowing Him into our lives. 

"If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit."  Galatians 5:25

'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...

   © +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...
