POST 4001 Rain Drops

Been busy tinkering at a family home with updating, and this painting was completed for a special place in the house a few years back. The photos are shiny but I wanted to get it up to share with you.  Painted around 2010, it is oil on canvas and framed by the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. 

I decided to bring it home, since I was replacing it with others, and offer it on my website at a special price. What I love about this flower painting are the values and the colors. The reds lean to a rich deep rose color and the greens edge into the moss greens you find in the woods. The raindrops bring it all together almost like a woodland snapshot. If it calls to your heart... click through and check it out!

What is happening?  Prayers Answered!

Turning away from the American scene... I must abide with the Lord. I do not stand with the current PIP (Party in Power) because they have strayed away from reality and are pushing us in directions you will regret. 

Prayer is important. Living your life fully is vitally important and to be content and happy. God wants us to have joy and love in our lives. The longer you are exposed to all the news and shenanigans, your mind wraps up in it. Not only are you what you eat, you are what you watch.  Seeking His word is my solace and my constant comfort.  Also want to share what appears to be an answer to my painting situation that I have prayed over.  Do I paint any more?  I felt burned out and done a year ago.  I had commissions last year and re bought paints to do them. (I literally sold all my paints a year ago January)  I have tubes left but not in all the colors I normally use. With our budget strained, I cannot buy paint or sell paintings when people are trying to put food on the table, buying artwork comes last, as it should.  

Meanwhile, a really sweet woman I have known for over 10 years, was changing her palette in her studio, and she was selling her paints, switching to different ones.  My eyes literally popped out when she told how much for what she had. Only God could have been behind this... The paints are due here in a few days.  Then at the home we are working on, there were more tubes of unused paint...all the same brand and colors because I did some workshops and had bought the paint for this person to participate.  Between the oils here and the oils from my friend, and more acrylics from the house we are working on... God provided paint I simple could not buy right now.  

He does answer prayers.  I will pray I can find my way with a brush or a knife again. Stay tuned!

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...
