Day Six: S Spain is the winner drawn name! Congrats!! 

BPH... translates Before Painting Horses era.... I loved painting children and people doing things and often did portraits for families. This was painted in my studio on the lake and I was finishing her up late one evening and trying to get a photo of it as I finished it.   I am continuing to believe these are gentle nudges for me.... I hope you enjoy seeing some of the 'other types' of my work.

Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Short blog this morning just to greet the day and post a winner. Did you catch the horses in process right behind this beautiful little girl painting?  I am pulled two directions again! 

This is what I saw from my studio every day when we lived at the lake... winter in this photo. I am a bit nostalgic right now.

Have a beautiful  week each of you. It is cold today in north Texas... when we got up it felt like 36 degrees outside with a strong north wind and half the leaves on the oaks are blown to the south and I am sure many are over the fence line next door. We will stay chilly for this week but looks like by the weekend and Christmas we will be near seventy outside. Past years when this happens we end up with snow in late Feb - early March- Snowmagedon.

'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...
