I have to figure out where to shoot my paintings in this house. Everything is blurry because of the lack of light. Terry put in some new lights last night but I have not painted by them yet. Will be doing so in a few moments.

I really enjoyed sharing the studios of everyone in the daily painters! WOW. I didn't post a painting yesterday because I didn't know it would pick up both. I missed that email but that is okay. Yesterday we drove to the airport to pick up Billie Bauman. She left Rochester NY with 10 degrees and blowing snow and arrived in Sunny Dallas at 65 degrees and clear blue skies. The high today will be seventy. It will get cooler this weekend. Believe it or not we have had several Snowy Thanksgivings and a handful of snowy Christmas Days. We took 12 packages to Fedex, two were international, and bless those folks, they ran us through so quickly and my collectors will all have their gifts before Christmas! YEAH

Not sure what the day will bring, much to accomplish and as Billie said yesterday, it is so much easier to float through the day because you can't control much of it. I know we have to buy groceries today and pick up some paint for me...I am out of several colors and that is very frustrating when working. Other than that just clean clean and unpack unpack. I want to put up a tree this week too. It will be artificial. We normally have real trees. The kind you replant, but with new mohagony floors, I am NOT taking a chance with overflow. Will just get a small one and decorate the house a bit. Trying to not miss the whole entire season.

We went to the symphony last night and it was fabulous. It definitely was like having Christmas early and the memories of the sounds will last for months in my heart and mind. Making Christmas last...ponder that one today. We are in preparation in our hearts and homes, but what will it take to keep that Joy alive all year round?

With the Light of His Joy,

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...
