"This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" - and I am the worst of them." 1 Timothy 1:15

Poppies

The year was 2006

My colors went opposites and bloomed into these poppies. I went through a painting period of painting a frame around things in 2007. I painted two of these but this was the first one and my favorite! Nine blooms in the pot and one on the counter. Not really planned, but i know you see the canvas was BLUE and I did the white inset frame that shows up almost all the way around. Notice how the white/with blue... triangles into the flowers on the left. That brings your eye straight into the painting. The white below also pulls you up and into the blue bowl. Contrast is strong in the upper corner with dark blue.

If you are an artist... think about the elements. Simple conversations between them keep this painting quietly fun and elegant. The contrast of blue and deep orange rocks the entire party!

God is our rock and salvation. Are we trustworthy and deserving? Are we accepted by God? We need to seek God in ALL TIMES in our lives. We must share the joys and love, while we hang on for the troubled times. Christ came to this world to offer us salvation. He died to save us. We are all sinners. YES...all of us. The sooner we learn to turn our hearts and trust in Him through both the good and the bad times, the better we are each day.

Repent means to turn back or turn around... Maybe it is time to repent and turn around to God and rest in Him. He will make 'straight' your path with His plans, which are way better than your plans or my plans.

Abide in Him.

I am thankful for my daughter sharing her verse of the day with me... as I share it on 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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and painting.

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

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...
