Why is it at the end of every day I can think of 100 things to write and share pertaining to life, love, family and painting, but at 11 am... my brain is still trying to make sure I finished what I needed to do this morning!.  This would be why I always blogged the night before and posted it to release in the early morning hours. Something to be said about 'the old days'. 

Launching into November.

Feels officially like fall is here when we reach the first of November. The trees in Texas rarely turn with color.  Our elm in the front yard is getting its tiny yellow leaves and the red oaks in the back are still green! 
I do believe the fall colors are part of the painting I have been working on over the past three weeks ever so slowly until this week!  

Change is good right?

I am attempting to see if that is what I need in several places in life, including painting. With the smell back of oils... I am not happy.  But I started this one in acrylics and it is fine for small pieces but not large ones like this. I needed to try and do this one for Mirada and the holiday sale coming up. I have to finish this by Friday... ????  

The change in painting was to try and use more acrylics. The change in approach was to sketch it out and then layer oils over it taping out sections to keep.   Too early to tell if this is a good change or not.

  • The change in life is a daily one. To not argue with anyone, to always remember GOD has this, and wait on decisions to pray and see if you get answers on it from Him. He really does keep watch over us.  
  • Then to live each day purposefully using the gifts he gave me to help others and serve him through the process. This allows the Holy Spirit to guide us carefully.
  • Lastly, to stop consuming sugar as it is not good for the body! I still eat healthy but Terry brings home ice cream, cheese and eggs, ALL things NOT in our home until lately. I have to be strong to take care of myself.
Are you facing some things in life that require you to change, or situations that require you to wait and maybe not respond in anger? We can stick together and prepare our hearts and lives for the holidays ahead! 

Follow the Spirit of the Paint... with Laurie Pace

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...
