Bathing in Hot Sunlight . Still Snow on the ground? Is this really March? 

The cold freezing temperatures raised the bar in the studio this morning. I brought out the powerful RED.  I am in amazement at the first week of March and the continued cold, sleet and snow. 

Flowing from the top left upper corner is the flooding of warm hot sunlight turning red as it surfaces down to the horses and the ground. This beauty sold already. I had it on the Collectibles for sale and the first day it was up... it was bought.  If you like my small collectibles, you need to check them. They are added there usually a week or two before they end up here. 

I wrote about simplifying many times this year. I have made mental notes in my posture and my feelings from the moment I wake in the morning to when I hit the bed at night. Each day begins with a single step...but I want that step to be toward peace and joy... and every step after.  If I begin my day with a mental list racing through my head of what has to be done, I find myself tense and ready to do battle.  The peace is not there and joy is fleeting.  

My first step is now to pray upon waking and then connect with God on the feelings I want to have bless my day. They are there for the taking. To move forward in life with a smile and contentment in my heart knowing God has both my front and my back... relieves me of a lot of stress and worry. This alone opens up tremendous possibilities in the day with not only my art but with the people in my life.  It is indeed a small step but even after just a few days, it is my step with confidence in myself knowing God has it all for me if my heart is open.

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' 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

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...
