Hints of Picasso
 by Laurie Pace  

I absolutely love this piece painted between 2007 and 2009. There is a freedom and freshness in this painting, even today discovering it in my archives. Vivid reds, yellows and blues predominately with cross over colors of green and orange.  I am still working out the sadness in life missing my Mom this week especially. Probably this is why I was called to share this particular painting.  When we cleared out her home and all the paintings in the household... it was amazing.  She had many from me from early ages through today...along with many from her circle of friends that were amazing artists. My youngest son has a favorite of Jesus. It hung in her front entry area and greeted you coming and going!

I often wonder where many of my pieces are these days. I really started selling on ebay in about 2003 I believe.  I miss those days... I painted a painting every single day and put it up for purchase.  Some things sold for $250 and some sold for up to $3500.  I always felt like the right painting called to the heart that wanted it.  

Wednesday.... the middle of the week. Not sure where the time has gone today. They continued to hint at storms... but doesn't look like it. Still pretty chilly at night in the thirties. Easter looks like beautiful weather and warmer!  Easter feels like it is early this year because of the cooler temperatures.   

"I do not count the sufferings of our present life worthy of mention when compared with the glory that is to be revealed and bestowed upon us." - Rom 8:18

While I am praying over painting again, I have much to mull over.  I may seek to stay painting my horses, but I love painting people, children and flowers.  It may be time to mix it up.  My strength is improving.  I do have canvas and paints.... May the Lord God guide me as I wait upon His way and not mine. 

To paint or not to paint, that remains the question.

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 Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
