Facing the Storm
Oil on Canvas 2015  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  

Facing the Storm, this horse painting was created and sold in 2015.  I can still feel the power in this abstract horse. This is one I would love to hang in my home!! The horse faces things in life humans could not face. Their heart and strength is filled with God's power in their creation. Serving man here on earth, they have withstood challenges. 

 Psalm 37:5-6  "Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.  He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun."

God is unfailing. If you believe in Him you know this. Trusting Him through dark times that last a long time, is truly a trying time. I literally cling to Him right now. He will not fail me. I know this. We are in year three of a family situation. I have a choice to put down the pain of this situation and live my life in joy that awaits my heart. Days are better... slowly better. I cannot fix what is, but I can seek His life and love in other simple daily things. He knows my heart.  He saw hubby and I through Covid with total confidence in the words ABIDE. It was a stressful situation not ever having been 'ordered' to stay at home. Relearning how to wash your hands ... and paranoia standing six ft apart in a line to grocery shop once they opened the stores to seniors early. Talk about loss of power that was MAN induced through lies ... God's word is Truth you can trust. God does not deceive or lie to you. Satan does. When "Facing the Storm" turn your face up to God... He is there. He will respond. 

Rise up my friends in the joy of His promise.  Elle

'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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said:      "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition:   Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet.  So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it.  Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher.  ...
