“But the rich should take pride in their humiliation–since they will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed.

Everything's coming up Roses!

The year was 2005
I just realized... lots of flowers, and tomorrow needs to be a horse!  Repetition, patterns, lines, movement and it is all in sync to keep your eye actively busy while you explore the painting.  I see another corner things going on with one corner area a different color than the rest of the background. The is something that pulls you through the piece. Personally  I love the soft light greens in this one. Dark green or bright mid green would not have made it at all.  It is intuition after painting so many paintings that color comes naturally. 

I love the scratch pulls of the knife behind the flowers where you can see it easily on the left top of the painting and falling down with a pattern.   Opposite corner is the yellow and it has the same feel of scratch pull of the palette knife. Repetition is important in art. It keeps the eye busy! The BLUE BOWL holds court in the central area midway down. Definitely have a riot of bright blooms throughout the painting!

 I believe my horses are getting jealous of the blooms! So tomorrow or the next day, depending on posting... I will share something besides flowers. That is the joy in painting.. something new every day.  Today the issue is selling the work while the country is in a economic slump, and the cost of everything is HIGH. Too high.  

Struggling with the words of the current Admin in Washington.... they are going to cover the pensions of the people in Ukraine ???? Right now they are giving away money and free housing and free food to all those illegally crossing our borders. Throw in the thought our national Admin is pushing the war in Ukraine to go into World War III.  Hubby just told me the US navy blew up the gas line from Russia to Europe creating this horrible situation in Europe, where people can only use so much gas every day. COLD and HUNGRY. USA destroyed the new gas line. Seems like many nations are growing angry with the United States right now.  Can you blame them? I do not recognize this country under this leadership. Our voices are not being heard.  I am not interested in WW3. I am not interested in covering pensions in a country in Europe... while our social security is going away in about ten years... and we are barely affording groceries and gas today.  What are your thoughts?  Things are not coming up roses in the USA. 

Our Trust is in Him.

Beautiful and skillful flowers. Looking forward to the horses, though. I'm a horse-aholic.

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' 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...
