 After the Afternoon Rains
9 x 12  Oils on Canvas


A flash back from 2014 and a sweet small enticing painting 9 x 12 in size.  My color addiction really shows in this piece with my collected painted ponies!  Contemporary palette knife horses straight from my studio!

One of Those Days

 It was a delicious night of sleep... and I woke up late, but still dove into my Bible readings, which I do each morning. JOYFUL CELEBRATION greeted me... with remembering it is Holy Week. 

The sermon yesterday at Countryside Church was breath taking at many levels. Factual to the time of Jesus and what he experienced as he was falsely arrested, people falsely testified against him, he was passed from court to court only to be sent back to the original court. The Jewish Court that wanted him dead.  Our Pastor was very moving as he walked us through the timeline.  In truth they remind you of what is happening today.

As this Holy Week begins, I place my mind and heart with the celebration.  In life we are often brought to our knees with pain and anguish before we are brought back to the grace of God.  

I sit here blogging... headache creeping in. Hubby sprayed Lysol in the house without opening windows... It does not take much. I do not use Lysol in the house. It is not an organic product and I react to most things used today.  I did walk three miles this morning before eating delicious homemade oatmeal!  I am striving for this to not be ONE OF THOSE DAYS....not this week.  Keep my eyes on God, my thoughts on His words, and let go of all stress and worry.   You can do it too. It is a fabulous feeling not worrying about things. JOYFUL CELEBRATION...

Matthew 21:9
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

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...
