Good morning from Dallas! It was brrr cold yesterday with Rain. I spent the morning with my mom with a stop at the Doc's, the store and then a fast lunch. Hoping to get her mended quickly and back on her feet again. This has been a rough winter for her already. Dad has a cold on top of it all, so keep them in prayer.

The above painting was done with a rag pull on canvas with my oil paints. This is my second rag pull painting. The first one sold on Daily Painters the day I posted it. I hope to do a third one this morning. Not sure of subject matter as of yet.

Wow, the holidays here have been so full. Highlights are difficult to choose from because it was all full of light and love and joy. We had more Christmas last night as Jonathan, our grandson came for dinner and gift exchange. He is such a joy to have in our home. We feasted on spiral ham from Whole foods, sweet potatoes, fresh tossed salad and steamed broccoli. Too full for dessert after all that. These memories will carry much joy and added pounds into the new year. Time to start the diet.

Billie flies home to NY today. BACK to the land of ice and snow. She cracked me up visiting as she walked around barefoot when it was 45 degrees outside. She loved Texas temperatures.... she swims when it is in the fifties in NY in the lake near her home. I would die even thinking about it. My blood is way thin after living in the south most of my life. I will cherish out time together along with my blue crocks I wear 24-7 now. Yes, she brought crocks into my life. I promised to take Jonathan to get a pair too!

What did Christmas bring into your life? My bounty is so deep I could not even begin to share it...the forever memories and moments, the laughter and the love....God is good. Take the joy into the new year.

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...
