 Good People - 60 x 90 inches Oil on Canvas


“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.” C. Joybell C.

The Painting 🖌

The Good People is the very last one I will paint in this series. I believe I have maybe 8 or 9 variations out there in different sizes, all inspired once again by Jack Johnson and the song, "Where did all the good people go?"  Using the abstract pull of my palette knife in downward strokes, the contemporary painting celebrates color representing the people. This palette pull of color is something seen in my horse paintings dating back to fall 2006. Contemporary Paintings of action by knife infused with color. 

Sunday Play ⚽

Annie had us up early for her morning walk. Upon their return, it felt like a typical Sunday with Terry slicing fruit 🍎🍑and cooking oatmeal while I played Sunday hymns on the piano. Sometimes we sing together, sometimes he whistles while I played. It was a rush morning as grandson Noah's last indoor soccer game was at 9:45 a.m.  

We enjoyed his soccer game rooting and applauding all the players (all around age 6) running and chasing the elusive ball.   He played hard the first half.  I have never seen him speed run the way he did today. 🏃 He scored a few times and assisted in a few more.  He was proud of his participation medal... and now eager to play on his outdoor team with his dad coaching!

After the slow down on Covid last summer 2020, we purposefully planned our days with more purpose aimed at living and enjoying them. Out of those lock down days grew a stronger faith, a healthier diet, weight loss, muscle gain, and trying out lots of new good recipes.  In many ways we are closer as a couple and most definitely closer to our Lord.  

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.." Psalm 19:1

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...
