In Progress 

The contemporary horse painting above is in progress.  The destination is unknown, but I am taking my time and seeing where the Spirit of the Paint leads me.

“Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,  Whispering 'it will be happier'...” Alfred Lord Tennyson 

Happy New Year from Golden Pond Studio ... from both myself and from Terry, the ultimate packer shipper and wonderful man that puts up with me.  We were up early for an intimate breakfast of pancakes and fresh fruits... and then I finished up some soup and butter beans for my mom with some fresh baked cornbread. It was fast trip in and of Dallas because our Puppy Annie is still under the weather from her infection she arrived home with. 

Friends from the Lake were the first before seven this morning to call and wish us a Happy New Year... and then just a few hours later, another call from my sweet friend Ann, also out near Lake Cypress Springs.  We really miss our friends from our life there. It was a short three years but it was packed with so much to do almost every weekend and throughout the week.  Terry and I discussed it and we have to step up the involvement this year.  

I really do not make New Years Resolutions...but I do think about where I need to broaden my life.  We eat healthy, we do not need to lose weight... but we do need more contact with friends and family.  I am also doing a prayer journal this year and will report as I go along if I can keep up with it.


"He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Revelations 21:5

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...
