“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand as well.”
― Jack London

This was a unique horse painting and I believe I only did two or three different sizes. One larger painting went to Australia, that was similar.  It begins with prayer always for me not to be in the way of the spirit moving my touch as I paint on that canvas.  I had the canvas flat on the table and a brush in hand... not a knife. I began applying paints and was not worried if they ran or overlapped.  No preconception of what would be where. (You saw this on yesterday's painting I shared, the bottom layers of acrylic paint.)  Usually you will find me turning the canvas on the easel from horizontal to vertical to inverted and back. Always I see horses.  (One day I want to do a child!) This horse raising his head was right there before me and that was the direction I pushed.

Do You Pray Before Doing Things?

Before embarking on any day, any new endeavor, or any painting, I firmly believe in the open relationship I have with the Lord to seek His divine guidance through prayer. It is imperative for me to back off and detach my own desires and aspirations, ensuring that I open myself up to God's influence and direction through the Holy Spirit that abides with in me. Bowing my head and humbly asking for His guidance brings me peace and clarity, acknowledging His wisdom far surpasses my own no matter what is ahead. By offering my intentions to Him, I am surrendering control and allowing His will to prevail in my life.  I know His plans for me are far greater than anything I could conceive. Does this work every time? If it does not, it is because I have taken back control in what ever work, mission, or painting I am working at.

If you can make this act of humble surrender, you will find strength, courage, and reassurance that you are on the right path.


"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 ESV

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...
