24 x 36 inches, Gallery Wrap Canvas, Oil



Good morning from the construction site. I cannot believe I am doing this at Christmas. Billie Bauman, The owner of the NY Gallery, Earth Works Art Gallery, is coming to visit over the Christmas break. I will have the potty in the guest bathroom the day before she arrives. I only hope I have the guest room ready.

Here is where I am painting right now. The lighting is not the best, but we will get to it.


This is the round wall in the living room that on the outdoors is beautiful stone and inside we scraped off layers of latex paint. The surface was not primed correctly or sanded, so Morgan is putting his skills to work on this one.

Kyle, the contractor that was sent to us by God and Pam and Jud Kendall, is wonderful. He does landscaping and water features too...I hope to have money left to do something in the garden room at least. His tile men are doing a fabulous job in the kitchen.

This is the formal dining room. Has my washer and dryer in it as well as the old potty from the guest bathroom. We need to put it out front, but have not yet. The stove and dishwasher are i the yard already. If you look closely in the lower left corner you can see where we have been taking off layers of turquoise latex paint off original one inch tile. The tile has designs and colors in it and there is much to be revealed in the next few days.

This is the study...Morgan is painting it now. He did the ceiling yesterday and will finish the walls today.

My dearest friend Jan, in Arizona, sent me an email yesterday about Christmas. We are still in the second week of Advent preparing. She reminded me of the Fruits of the Spirit, Galatians 5:22, "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control": Our Father has provided the best gifts through these "fruits". We can give this to those around us as He provides them to us in bounty daily.

I pray for you to have peace today.

Laurie

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Galatians 5: 22-25

'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

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...

I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
