"Feel like I have been absent... from life and from my studio. Caught Covid from our grandson next door... but slowly eating again.  I had great intentions the two days before I fell ill early on a Wednesday morning. In fact I was at the point of jumping in to work on some new pieces for a show in Denver... and I hope to get somethings drawn off today.  It has been a time of grit and determination. For three days I could not eat because I would throw it all up.  I dropped 7 pounds... and now I am trying to regain some back but not eating healthy as I normally do. Something about taste buds trying to work again! My poor hubby came down with it just as I was coming out of it all. The illness was three packed days...but then it took three more days to be able to stand and do anything small... and another three days to be able to clean house!  This morning I walked 1.5 miles at 4 mph... hope in the next few days to be up to 3 miles again.   My direction to you... stay away from 'kids' in early elementary school right now!  His family all had it too!"

TAKE HEART

This is usually the time of year I try to paint a few fun hearts, so this morning I began working on a few of them for fun.   Still torn between Oil and Acrylics for somethings!  The heart in the photo above is an oil heart.  

John Ford Coley, Terry's first cousin, is performing in Arlington this evening. Morgan and Kelly are going but we are not. Night time brings us both to our knees in early prayer and early bed on this tail end of recovery.  Love JFC so much. He playin Niagara Falls last night.  Hoping we can see him soon.  Maybe at a family reunion. They did the last one on my birthday and we did not make to the farm to see everyone. 

John Ford is FULL OF HEART!!!  Here is an old one for you....  What can I do with this broken heart?   Not sure I have heard it very often.  Click on the photo below to hear the Broken Heart older song!   MY true favorite song is HERE. I'm not talking about Moving In....


Missing you JCF!  Wish we were there with you.

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...
