HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUE!!!!
Surprises await you...anticipation is always the greatest. Each day from the Lord should be approached with joy and anticipation of the gift of that day. As you unwrap this day take delight in His creations around you and all He blesses you with!
He has blessed all of us with you! ANTICIPATION!


Happy Thursday! I am preparing to hit the canvas for the next few hours and then must clean house and do lesson prep for the art classes today. We will be doing NIGHT SCENES using acrylic paints...on what I have not decided! LOL Their imaginations always soar past my expectations so we will see.

It is cool out this morning so the house is chilly but once I crank the music and start working it will warm up! Last night we walked the dogs and I wore a jacket...this has to be my favorite time of the year! COOL nights and up to the low seventies during the day with lots of sunshine.

This weekend is the NASCAR race at the local Texas Motor Speedway. My Daughter phoned to tell me the main highway that goes by her house will be closed on Sunday...they will be stranded. Hwy 114 will be flowing one direction into the speedway and one direction out of the speedway. It amaze me how the state can shut down a MAJOR MAJOR hwy for the dad gum car races. Our lives are not pleasant on these weekends. We have two big races a year and several smaller ones. I am still trying to see if I will be able to get out to even go to my brothers birthday party. I could stay at mom's all weekend, which is good, but the dogs need care and we are not sure if Terry will be able to get in and out of the Airport to get home!

Other than the impending traffic mess, life is good! Rain is in our forecast for tomorrow and Sat morning. Good Painting weather. God is good, all the time, God is Good!
Remember to give thanks for his glory that surrounds us and weaves through us. It is our choice every moment how we react and pass on the Joy that is given to us so freely. We must open our arms and embrace it and then pass part of that Joy on to other people we pass in this day. The freedom of the Spirit.... pass it on.

Grace,
Laurie

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...
