No pictures today. We fell behind a day and the boys took Sunday off. I went and picked up my dad and took him grocery shopping with me. He drives that cart pretty darn good. He wheels it around like a NASCAR racers in fact. He would be potentially scary driving a car!

I have family that flew to St Louis yesterday arriving to snow. Billie Bauman, Owner of Earth Works Art Gallery flies into Texas tomorrow morning. She has to fly out of Rochester and that is pretty snowed in right now. She will bask in the 66 degree temps we have daily now. At night it is in the low forties. At least we got a break from all the rain. It is a joy to think of friends in for Christmas. She will have the task of helping me pick out a tree for the house and decorating a bit. I hope we get that far in preparation today.

The men are preparing to cut off my computer off and I must hussle through this posting. They are putting in a dedicated line to my computer. I am still WAITING For Time Warner Cable to put in a live line for my fax machine. It has been 10 days. I dislike that company. Wish Verizon was here.

Preparing is the word I will leave you with as you prepare for the holidays to come. What preparation have you done? Is the tree up? Are the cookies baked? Are the presents bought and wrapped? What about your heart....is it prepared? Have you prepared your family in the beauty of the story and the joy of the birth of Jesus? We prepare for the celebration of His birth.

In His Joy,
Laurie


“But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21

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...
