Progress on Five Hearts 
30 x 40 inches Mixed Media on Canvas. 

I began to work on collaging papers over the Bible and Narnia pages. This type of work has it's own path and often I have to step back and let it go on its own. 

Please watch each day for progress here OR a new giveaway.  I have everyone that entered for the 12 Days of Christmas and there are five more paintings to give away.  So check back each day. I will list the winners with the 12 Days of Christmas winners.

Mary said:  “My being proclaims the greatness of the Lord, 
my spirit finds joy  in God my savior,  For he has looked upon  
his servant in her lowliness; all ages to come shall  call me blessed.  
God who is mighty  has done great things for me, 
holy is his name; His mercy is from age to age on those who fear him.

My husband and I spend time with our advent wreath doing a reading and a small study each day.  This is the beginning of the third week in advent.  This week is our 'joy' week. We lit a candle for 'hope' each day the first week and 'peace' each day the second week. This is a time of anticipation, one filled with joy, and at the same time with our reading the full realization of the true gift of Jesus to the world.  It is often hard to get past the everyday chaos or sadness that surround us to find the way to the joy of lighting this third candle. So as you light your third candle today, Mary's Candle,  remember to give thanks for all you have been given. No matter what life has brought you, or how busy you are, stop tonight and give thanks for the light we walk in, the freedom to walk there and the joy of 
His love and grace... in His Light and His Love.  

 Your mission is to be content in your life. Give to others.  Give what they need even if you must give a part of what you have. Let go of your anxiety and stay in prayer to God.

 Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your request known to God.  Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

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...
