A Painting A Day


This week of my life has been a journey and I have walked it totally in faith that the Lord has a plan to make something out of what has happened with in our family. I was at my youngest son's apartment on Wednesday night and saw a piece of art work I did back in 1999 and between that inspiration and my paints today, this work emerged. Not sure if it is fall or winter or even spring...but from the dark into the light exists as well as the path between. Isn't that life ? Also in my mind were thoughts of another daily painter, Cheryl A. Pass... she was questioning where she was going with her art...her journey...and all of this was tumbling around in my head as I worked yesterday.

Gotta hit the canvas. Was contacted by a Western Store north of here that wants to carry some work and I promised some pieces, so today I will be painting non stop!

Grace to you all...

Laurie


Okay...now try this one...as I go to Daily Word online...this is the entire reading today. Read this and then try and tell me God's hand is not in our lives. The tears are flowing down my face at this moment making it hard to type...I am hoping this messages reaches a friend in Canada as well.

Inner Peace
The Christ of my being fills my heart with love. I am calm and at peace.
There is a presence of love within me that cannot be disturbed. This sacred presence is the Christ of my being.
Wherever I am, I can turn within to this heart of love and know the peace that passes all understanding. As I lay any burdensome thoughts and memories down, I enter into a consciousness of peace. Calm and serene, I know and see myself as the beloved creation of God I was created to be. Through the understanding that comes from deep within me, I am patient with myself and with others. I am an instrument of peace.
The love of Christ fills my heart and shines forth from within me, guiding every step I take and every word I speak. In all circumstances, I am calm and at peace.


“What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”—John 1:3-5

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 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...
