A Painting of soft pink and white flowers created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun. 

Proverbs 4:18  “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” 

Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our direction.  

I REALLY Loved living up in Kentucky on the river.  We were in Ft Thomas, Kentucky.  My soul felt at home. I believe it did because I was born in St Louis and spent all my summers there after we moved to Dallas when I was almost 5.  

I have treasured memories of the house my Dad had built for us in Dallas.  I loved it. My room had a great big bow window, which had pillows and books and all my stuffed animals.   Formal living room with a matching bow window and off of it the formal dining room.  That is where we ate with company or for someone's birthday in the family. Nice large square kitchen with room for a table and chairs... and open to the den with a half wall bookcase of knotty pine serving as a partial separation to the den. There was a utility room off the den. (Who did that in 1956?) We had trees in the backyard for me to climb. Mom grew a garden with watermelons and cantaloupe.  It was there about six years later God decided my older brother and I needed another sibling and that house was not big enough!  

They moved us to a huge 5 bedroom home with no trees in the backyard.  But that first home today on it's lot could sell for up to 500k and the old house would be bulldozed down. (I think Dad paid about $7000 for the original house to be built on the lot.)  Now add a 1 million dollar home on the lot? Oh my stars!!!  Elle

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' 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...
