Painting in Progress

"Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze." Elinor Glyn

Life can be filled with times of "haze".  This particular canvas started out with a haze.  I will be sharing progression on it for the next few posts... but it is not done as of this journal.  For the artist that is reading... this is oil using walnut oil with it to blend the subtle colors together. So soft and so not my normal palette.  

I have been contemplating the current changes just in my life as it happens, journeying into the life of a grandmother to four little ones and a twenty year old... and the importance of family. On the other side is the creative part of my life, the gifts from God.  I have been playing the piano more and surprised my fingers remember much more than my brain!   I will be picking up the guitar more and writing more. Did you know I have been working on several books?  I have almost two novels complete, but I really need to go over and do rewrites on them. They were started back in 2001.  Times changed and our life changed... and they were put aside in 2007 as my art became the lead gift. 

I would LOVE to know more about your stories... what gifts you have, what fears you have, what makes you laugh and what do you look forward to in life?  We all have times of HAZE... moments that we are unclear of direction.  Terry and I have been reading the entire Bible together cover to cover this year.  One of the outside readings we do pointed out God does not always just 'speak to us' in the moment we ask for guidance on something. It is always important to press on with life and other prayers and know with confidence He will answer you.  This will assuredly happen when you are totally busy and fully concentrating on something else in life... and then the LIGHT goes on and you know what He wants you to do.

I had to start my blog over. The RSS feed was not working correctly the past few weeks.  So I was not even blogging as I spent hours trying to go back and forth between my hosting company and my RSS company.  It became clear that I had to start with a clean slate.  WOW...think about that one.  Clean slate.  I think I can love it!  

"For I know the plans I have for you, " declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

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...
