A Painting a Day


SOLD



He dances in the moonlight now, my grandson Grant. He is a twinkle in the night sky and is in the heavens during the day as well...I can look up and see him day or night. I could not even begin to tell you how many times I sang the song to my grandsons about MR MOON.

Mr Moon Mr Moon you're up too soon, the sun is still in the sky. Go back to bed and cover up
your head and wait till the day goes by.....

Not a day will go by with a prayer of thanks for his life and the gifts he left us. Stacey and Larry were given the sweetest mold of his little hand...and I almost cried out when I saw it. The last time I was in the room with him I had my fingers laced with his and then placed my fingers beneath his just to feel the weight and warm of his little hand one more time. So to see the beautiful mold Cooks Children gave them touched through my heart into my soul. My last touch, my last memory....his little hand.

I will try to remember to take a picture of Grant's only painting he did in my studio to post it next week. He called me Mum and Terry was Bampa....and I can still hear his little voice calling us. The sound echoes through out me and I pray it never leaves for he will always live in our hearts until we see him again in heaven.

In memory of Grant Hendren, Roanoke Texas, donations can be made to Autism Research.

I again cannot thank all of you who have written from reading my blog. Your words have sustained me through these days of numbness.

Grace,

Laurie

I can't believe it is March 1st...I lost the last week of February somewhere!

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.

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...
