PAINTING IN PROGRESS
 by Laurie Pace  


"But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay." Psalm 70:5

A new painting in progress.  I love painting on birch.  If I could I would paint on it exclusively. I am laying down layers of color glazing it over as I go. My goal was to establish the connection as tight as the true photo. Again I often work from Helmut Hussman, Nevada Photographer on Facebook. He has always been kind to allow me the privilege to use his photography. I will continue to work on it today. I started the drawing on Saturday and then began painting on Sunday.  Yesterday I allowed the current layers to begin to dry and I will continue laying on the base of the left horse's coat and also continue to layer up more on the blue face.  Blue and Orange are opposites on the color spectrum. I love how they work together with the eye to create the colors needed. Horse painting in progress.


Time Passes

I cannot believe June is here and already ticking past. Things are changing even faster in the lives of our family right now and we cling to the reality that God is part of all of this. Still feeling blindsided in many ways, but ever thankful I began this painting to clear my mind. Working slowly with music is soothing.  I know we all have something that brings peace to us, and usually music will do it for me, or listening to the Word being read.  

 No matter what you face in life right now, be it joyful or challenging or sad, trust in the Lord.  He sees us in the darkest times of our lives and provides the light we need to find our way out of it. He sees us in the brightest of times, the joyful times, and He loves to hear our praises in both. Continue to live life and enjoy the gifts we have and share as often as we can.  Watch your steps and keep them in the light of God.

'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...

   © +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...
