Yeah... not my norm...but my style...still working things out on this one and running out of time. This week one day is national Bosses Day... October 16th. My son Morgan works at TD Ameritrade and while he would normally do this himself, he came to Mom to help. (yes he paints too)  He wanted to surprise his boss with a Bull.  I do longhorns all the time but never a 'bull' so I am not doing my signature Longhorn pull but am using the wild knife with lots of color.  

 I just shot images of it and brought it into photoshop and flipped it horizontally and can immediately see what needs to be done... Some of it is free, some still seems forced.  So this is what I will be working on today.  Boss will get it wet... very wet....or maybe just an image with it forthcoming. 

 Morgan has loved this past first year at TDA.  He is thankful for the opportunity to serve. He follows in the footsteps of my Dad being a financial planner and helping people with their needs for retirement and the future. He has done a great job with us.  We in turn are thankful and feel graced by God to have Morgan helping us.  I miss my Dad all the time, but Morgan has taken the lead with many things Dad once helped us with. 

 Every meal each day Terry and I say grace together and pray for those that need specific prayers in our family while giving thanks for our own gifts and blessings.  We realize that God is the source of everything in our lives from those personal gifts, to our family, our food...just everything.  Acknowledging Him and His blessings is so important to us and at the same time asking for His continual forgiveness. Appreciation from our heart, a blessing of gratitude makes everything each day even better.  We are blessed in every way. 
"He took bread and giving thanks to God in the presence of all, he broke it and began to eat."  Acts 27:35

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...
