18 x 27 inches of thick buttery oil paint by Laurie Pace  



JUST for you... this newly painted piece is on sale, hoping to make a Christmas Wish come true! Click on the painting or the Title of the painting. I did the first portions of this live on Instagram.  It is almost ready to ship out with a pre-glaze on it.  

It is already late on Thursday night and I am not sure where the day went. Our two granddaughters came to spend the day.  It was full of school work first, and then time in the backyard in the sun helping their Bampa rake leaves from our nine trees out back! 

I am trying to figure out how to shop for Christmas.  Still need to buy gifts for two of the grandsons... we are not doing gifts for the adults this year. We will be celebrating quietly apart again. Just like Thanksgiving.   This rips my heart as a grandmother who wants to see the grand babies.  Terry and I have not even thought about gifts for each other, because we don't need anything but possibly FREEDOM!!!

This year has definitely redefined our lives. I must note that I am not wearing makeup (So I am not buying makeup). While I am wearing clothes,... I am not buying clothes. We are not going out to eat. We are not buying junk food. We are not traveling. We are not out just 'shopping' either. 

While this takes us two ways... one more negative, one more positive... we are learning even more about each other and we 'date' back to him age 13 and me age 11.  We are closer than we have ever been. Never thought it possible.   We are more gentle in our thoughts and care for each other more closely.  We are knitted even tighter in our dependency on each other. (Again...good or bad?) 

Good
1. Not spending extra money shopping (Clothes, Shoes, Makeup and more)
2. We are not spending money eating out.
3. Groceries cost less with more thought to food prep.
4. Kindness is the word of each day.
5. We grow closer by the day and the hour.
6. We are not spending much in gas for the cars.

Not so Good Things.
1. Our temper seems to flare a bit more these days.
2. We run out of bananas quickly.
3. We are not seeing family and friends.
4. We are not putting miles on the truck/car. 

Looks like The Goods stacked up higher than the Not So Goods!

Have a great Friday!  From the Great State of Texas... wishing you a safe weekend.


 “So may all your enemies perish, LORD! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years." Judges 5:31

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
