"Every painting has a reason and a season. It felt like abstract but I did not know how it would progress. I sectioned the canvas in quarters and laid basic colors in weaving them between.  I worked while the paint was crazy wet. I wanted the edges to form the boundary defining objects. 

Can you see repeated patterns in this painting? The purple, red and blue merge through three times.  Yellow patterns in quarters three times... and three yellow pulls on or close to the vase.  Three large turquoise areas around the outside of the vase. Two on one side and one on the opposite side. So much of this is accidental, but is it truly accidental?  Part of painting is the intuitive pull of the palette knife as if in rhythm to the music playing in the room. Purposeful painting never has fresh freedom." 
 
Color always a pure constant in Laurie's paintings. She loves the mystery as she unravels things on the canvas. One stroke will trigger a reaction and a motion forward. The strokes build into a narrative of their own. The painting longs to be free, to stretch and find balance in the distortion. 

PERSISTANT

As an artist, Laurie is aware of the need of discovery and as well as the need to establish a style that is hers and no one else's style. As a member of The Daily Painters from 2006 through the closure of the group in 2018, Laurie was one of the few large scale painters. While many artists painted 8 x 8 pieces, most of hers were 24 x 36 up to 40 x 60... and yes... that is one painting a day.  The larger the canvas the more powerful the paint.  Laurie has blogged from those early days forward taking a break after 2014 and returning here and there throughout the years.

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...
