I am meeting myself coming and going but that is a good thing sometimes. I am excited to be offering some limited edition prints of a few paintings from this year, and Indian Paint Pony is one of those offered at this tremendous price for a 36 x 36 inch painting. #ChristmasCelebration #ContemporaryHorsePainting 
I cannot believe that Christmas is a mere 4 1/2 days away. Then I cannot believe it will be 2019 in less than two weeks.  I am not ready. I still need to buy paints, canvas and supplies for the new year. I am not mentally prepared to close out this year.... and I wonder if Mary and Joseph ever thought, "I am not ready for the birth of this baby...the responsibility of raising God's son."
We should be centered in the celebration of the birth of God's son.  Our minds should be focused on how it all came together with the angels, the shepherds, Mary heavy with baby riding the long journey on a donkey, ... but wait how was Joseph really dealing with all of this? He does not have a 'speaking' part in the Bible, but he has one of the main positions in all of this... his faith was unwavering.   He believed God. He believed the angel; he married Mary knowing she was with child. He walked in God's light and grace as the chosen father for God's son here on earth.  God specifically chose Joseph and Mary to be the parents of this wee baby and bring him up with God's love, following God's laws and setting forth the strong foundation that only parents can provide. Yet, we do not hear much about Joseph in the Bible as Jesus was born, and not anything as he grew... and it was not until Jesus was 12, that we hear about Joseph again. Joseph fulfilled the role of Jesus' earthly father with all the love any man could have for his son.  As his protector, provider and teacher, he raised Jesus with out any reservations. God provided Joseph with all he needed for this role in his son's life. Without wavering, Joseph was granted the needed gifts from God to raise this boy to be our Savior.

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...
