REFLECTIONS OF GLORY

SOLD


Good morning. I was up painting this at two a.m. We stayed up watching a movie and Terry rolled over and started snoring last night and my mind was going ninety to nothing. So about One thirty I got up and decided to paint and I did until I finished it. Granted I am typing this with zero sleep in over 24 hours...but oh well.

This piece had to do with direction and lack of and taking the time to reflect of where we are and not so much where we are going. Must let that be up to God. We drove into Dallas yesterday with good intentions of moving the last of our boxes out of my father in law's house to our storage unit there. We also were going to pick up our other sailboat to bring it back to the country. Well, we got there and we took off for Krogers to pick up his prescriptions, then to the realtor's to sign paperwork on the house and lastly to Three Fountains where he is moving. No box moving...but we did load the boat on the trailer and make a dash for dinner to ST Cafe in the Lake Highlands area. YUM. Soup, salad and a small plate of grilled chicken and mushrooms over linguine. Coming home was slow pulling the sailboat.

Cultivate a loving heart as you wait on divine direction. Keep yourself open and prepared to share your loving heart with those on your journey.

Shalom,
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...
