Night Snow
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


Night Snow is a beautiful horse painting done back in 2013 and sold from Mirada Fine Art in Denver. 28 x 42 inches of thick rich oil paints living in the Rocky Mountains.

The sun is setting as I logged onto my laptop. A weekend coming to a close with some new steps and an inspiring sermon from our Pastor Tom Pennington at Countryside Bible Church. We were blessed to have our grandson Jon join us today and even more excited that he was moved by the message.  It was on the distinctives of our Church. 

"We are committed to two great priorities that have inspired the church for 2,000 years: a high view of God and high view of scripture." Countryside Bible Church. 

We became new members at the church after visiting over the past year and a half, of course many weekends we were with my Mom last year before she passed. It is a joy to think of Countryside... because every person we have encountered there is filled with peace and a smile. There is a feeling of release and an open heart when you enter the sanctuary.  The music lifts you to a place of pure joy and for us that is crossing more than 70 years of church with some familiar hymns and some new ones. Many Sundays I have had to sit down while singing, breaking down in tears and searching for a hanky. Joyful tears. Words and songs that have taken me through my life to now. The choir and orchestra bring in the fullness of love filling the air with melody and harmony.  Coming home to Countryside also opens fellowship and study of scripture for us daily. The message is always The Word, God's Word. Pastor Tom follows the scripture weaving it throughout the Bible to tie in the connections.   We review it through out the week as we continue to study it.

Today's study was a new series,  "A HIGH VIEW OF GOD" . Pastor Tom deeply develops this message to put things back in perspective in our lives...and it will for you as well. If you are a fellow artist... listen while you paint. If you are a believer that follows this blog... put it on and sit back with your Bible or take a few notes.... There is purpose here that while God is over all things in heaven and earth and in the universe, He remains approachable by us... Pastor Tom breaks it down beautifully and for both Terry and me, much was lifted from our current lives and minds that we need to give it up and let God work on. I have always called it abiding and waiting, but after this message it is abide always and do not wait... it will be come 'to be' as He has planned it from the beginning. 

Tonight will be an early to bed as are currently listening to Tommy Emmanuel from Australia on Youtube... his music is incredible. Less tv mess, the better. We enjoy the music...and this is guitar like you can only imagine. It has been a beautiful weekend. I pray you had a restful one too.

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...
