Fair Flowers was the giveaway painting for my February Newsletter. The winning name was chosen by choosing a number and finding the match to the number in my subscriber list. Congratulations to Kim Theriault from Texas. Kim has been a supporter of my art for over 17 years. Her son, Ryan, and daughter, Hannah, both took art from me as well as music learning to play the guitar. Hannah is in college now and Ryan heads there next year. I am really excited to do this giveaway every month. Some paintings are large ones, others are small ones.  Thanks to all of you and your supportive emails, I am painting on!

Heartful Flowers for February... 
I will be painting some flower paintings this month and trying some new ideas and approaches to the canvas. Some will be midsized and some small.  I have not decided what I will do with the practice paints, but assume it will depend on how they turn out!

February is all about God, love, flowers, family, friends and more. I love all the comments on the blogs for the free paintings. While diverse, each of you holds dear to you your family. 

Planning the Rendezvous. It is time for me to think about the Rendezvous. If I do not plan something it will not happen.  One thought is to fly to San Diego and go to the opening of The La Jolla Gallery.  We are blessed with airline passes as Terry is retired from American Airlines. The negative is once the merger happened last year, retirees load planes last.  So making a flight would depend on the load in the airplane.  Another idea would be a romantic dinner at a restaurant we have never been to. OR maybe Lady L and I need to plan a special Romantic Dinner for her parents and Bampa and I . Of course little sister, Lady M, could come too. Or we have a good friend with a second home in Ecuador... just food for thought. Any ideas?

The ordinary easily becomes the extraordinary: the sun's rays catching the dew on the naked empty branches of the trees, sparkling like diamond, or the brilliance of the sun bounding through the house filling it with light and warmth each morning.  Do you allow your spiritual nature to shine out to others? You have gifts to share with others. You are filled with divine love. This is February, the month to transform everything into the gift of love for others.The process is a thing of splendor. 

Blessings, Laurie

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...
