This is another blend of expressive color and still representational subject matter... ie the horse.   This sold directly from my home studio about 12 hours after I posted it on the blog.  

In actions I am finishing up ON THE LAMB... and decided not to post progress pictures... because simply... most of it was painted straight in a 10 hour day... and touch ups after the main paint.  I am holding off till Saturday to post it!

Meanwhile... what would it be like to play hooky from your every day life?  Yesterday I shared one dream of a Canadian Trek... hummm what comes to mind this morning. What are you suppose to do in your sixties?  Our CPA convinced us early retirement was the way to go and that is what we did. We have had fun living at the lake, and now back near the grands...but I am not ready for the rocking chair and Saturday painting. 

 My dearest girlfriend has taken off into her ranching and farming full time and painting is when she has time or a commission.  I have known her since high school days.
Click here to see her blog and artwork and tales from the farm.


She LOVES doing her thing with her chickens, cows, honey bees and crops. She makes her own cheese.... drink's the mild from her cow. This is all from their ranch/farm...venison, peas and beets. 

Peaches from her peach tree... of which she makes so many things from desserts to just freezing them for use throughout the year.  I think she cans most things.








And this is her incredible homemade cheese.   Debbie stepped away from everything and jumped heart long into  providing for herself and family like our ancestors did. 

Terry and I are not much into farming... we have our garden going and growing thanks to so many helpful hints from Debbie.   Have only had tomatoes from the garden but soon to come bell peppers, squash, zucchini, carrots and more. I guess this might keep us from traveling right now...but I know in August I will be ready to bail from the Texas Heat.  Might be fun to go to Upper State New York... to the wineries there. The nights are cool and the days are filled with pleasant sunshine and real rain, something rarely seen in this part of Texas.



He made the moon to mark the seasons,
    and the sun knows when to go down.  Psalm 104:19

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
