"Misery.. winter cold hit and I am in the thick of it!... not just cold air but a head cold. The cold air hits in about 36 hours and it keeps dropping.  I did see my doctor today and it is not in my chest...thankfully! I had an allergic reaction to something last Wednesday and have been battling that and Suddenly this morning, I have a blooming head cold!  Stay healthy and eat healthy... I am going to work hard to be well by Christmas Eve. Excuse me... I am sneezing!

Traversing New Lands

I have always believed an artist that stagnated was not growing if their work was not deepening. The end work is not as important as the journey.  We know it when we come to it face to face.  I had to criss cross several paintings I had up over the past two weeks and rework them.  This colorful Horse Painting is one of those.  My journey simply was unsatisfactory.  I brought it back and reworked a small area and it was too perfect. It just was not happening. It was time for infusion of color and that is where the journey became exciting.  There is a rhythm to the paint placement and the colors as they weave through the painting.  This one is newly posted on my website for sale!  

On the spiritual side, I am focusing on time reading and studying preparing for not just the celebration of Christmas but the advent of the new year. My word for 2023 is 'beholding' and I am not sure if I shared that in my blog or not.  I want to take the time to see (Behold) God woven in everything I actually see and do each day. Last night I was reading about giving him full control and letting go.  We all remember what it is like to hold a new born baby, tiny and strong, but totally unable to do anything for themselves.  To God, we are that new born babe, and we are dependent on Him for everything. We only think we have control... we do not.

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...
