Contemporary Art for the home.



Wednesday finds a turkey in the oven. We are eating at Stacey Beth's tomorrow but she has a crowd coming and we would have ZERO leftovers, so I normally fix on Wednesday for Terry and I to have left overs for the next few days! He is coming home and making CHILI too! It is going to be cold shortly . Seventy degrees right now and hopefully falling soon! Tom are you ready to eat tomorrow? Can't wait to hug your neck. Charlene I wish you were here. We would share a glass of wine and many laughs and hugs. Niki I hope you have arrived in NY safely. Give my best to Helen and Joe. Jan, I know you will be neck deep in family, enjoy them all. Kathy, I share my deepest prayers with you today. I know not what your group is doing, but I know you will be serving those around you.

Yesterday I began packing up reference books and my library here in the studio. It is emotional to move. There are so many mixed emotions with the move back to the city but the pluses are family, church and friends. I have to stay focused there. No matter what we do or where we go, I feel protected by my Father in Heaven. This has been difficult as my own earthly father has progressed with Alzheimers robbing him of his thoughts and memories and his mind slowly falling into pieces. This is a man well respected for his wisdom and his strength. He indeed was a true image of God the Father, because no matter where I traveled in my life I knew KNEW that my dad was there when I needed him to help me with decisions ( as was my mom, they were a team). But I grew up knowing dad was the ultimate in all decisions and that is why that feeling of security has always been there. I must gather my strength now realizing my own earthly father is in the arms of the heavenly father and there is where my trust and faith must be. The tears I cry at this moment are for the past, the loss of the man that I knew as invincible from my earliest memories. My tears are for joy knowing that we all are wrapped in the love of God the Father. May His light and joy fill your holidays as we give thanks for all we have in our lives.

I leave you today in the protection of His Light.

Laurie

“Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. —Isaiah 41:10

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...
