Humm, it is the way I sleep! I woke up in pain again, but had my right arm swung up under my pillow. I sleep to soundly here compared to our home in Justin, I just don't move around much!

Coming home. I had a piece of art I sold several years ago come home to me via a friend that bought it and sent it to me. IT IS one of my favorites. I will be repainting and touching it up and varnishing it and then sending it on to be sold at the Gallery. IF I can part with it! IF.
It is an Indian warrior holding his child in his arms. Hopefully I will work on it this weekend and post it.

Coming home. Those words mean so much to all of us. Home plants pleasant memories for many of us...life was simple growing up with our parents. Their home is always a safe place to come to when life is beating you up. It is psychological at best, but it always works. Then you have the words, If I Can Part With It....Our life is full of partings, endings and new beginnings. I believe even when we die it is a new beginning...a joining of our spiritual energy with God in a new journey. Combining the two should be coming home to be with our Father. That should be the enduring comfort in our lives...He is with us with every breath; he is home; our home is with in our heart with him. Our comfort is there with every breath. Coming Home in my mind is that moment I meditate, refocus, breath and find my center in Him. I am coming home. Yes, I can part with the chaos around me; I can part with the materialistic things surrounding me; I can part with the pain and the hurt. I am coming home. This journey will be as I make it today. Share the joy with someone. Share a smile and a hug. Let them feel the spirit of comfort of coming home in your presence warming in the light of the Lord that shines from your heart.

Pass it on.
Laurie


"And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." 2 Peter 1:19

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...
