Orange... for some reason orange is an enticing color for me. There are so many intense oranges and subtle oranges, but they really make a painting pop with life. Horse 90 is one of the bright ones in the herd.

I keep throwing these closeups at you so you can see the beauty of the paint. It truly is the Spirit of the Paint for me.  It is the salt and pepper of color that finishes a painting. 

We went to the Christmas Symphony yesterday. It was a large part of the family. Lady L and her parents, our youngest son Morgan and his wife Kelly...and of course Terry and I.  We fill 7 seats out of 8 in a box.  With Lady L being young we always go to the afternoon performance and it is always spectacular and yesterday was no exception!  Music, lights, action, dancers, stories and excitement.  Sitting in the Loge Boxes puts you in perfect view to see it all.  

God has the perfect spot watching over the birth of his son, Jesus.  Think about it... Music from the angels all around, Stars creating light and beauty, Shepherds, sheep, cattle, horses, town folks, a dirty stable, new parents and a little baby. Can't get much more exciting than that. It was a simple time but magnified and glorified in the heavens.  Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth Good Will to Men.

Lady L is reminding me we have only two days to go to Christmas Eve. Three to Christmas day. Get ready... take in the joy and simplicity and do not feel to overwhelmed with all the stress around you.

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,  and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them." Luke 2: 4-7

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...
