The sun is up and the birds are in full chorus outside...it is a wonderful day. This is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Todays painting is an exploration of another approach to the canvas. If it calls to you email me for a good price!

Exploring in life is always a must. God is really good about closing doors. We must use our wisdom gained through our life experiences to be wise and find an open window. Yesterday morning I went to my parents house and fixed breakfast. It was a treasured time to share a meal with them. God is good! After eating mom sent dad into shower and we sat and visited. She has been seeking direction on several issues in her life that involved changes. Major changes. She sat back and said, "I guess I will wait until God knocks me upside the head." I sat forward and yelped "NO". I have been knocked upside the head several times and have watched it happen to those close to me. That is not a good thing to wait for in my opinion. I really don't think God likes to "knock us upside the head" and I think he would prefer us to be quiet within and listen to the wisdom he provides. It is hard to make decisions in your life that affect your entire earthly being, the way life has been for almost 60 plus years.

Nothing in life is constant but change. You can only count on change, not on better or worse, but change. Allowing God to knock you upside the head because you do not want to make decisions is really leaving yourself wide open for many painful things. My dad was always the best on Making Lists. "Make a list" is a major part of my life when making decisions. Pros and cons. This is a tool he provided for me that even my mother reminded me of last year as we made the decision to move back to the city. The wisdom of the Father....from the Father.

Grace,
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...
