TRAVEL TO GREENER GRASS

Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

15 x 30 inches Gallery Wrap Canvas


SOLD


Friday has not dawned by sun time but it has by the clock. I worked until after nine last night painting and will be jumping back in front of the easel in a few moments. I noted it is difficult to ever catch up or get ahead. Strange that I chose to post this painting today...traveling to greener grass....chasing the elusive and missing what is right there in front of you.

Living in the moment is the key here. There is no catching up or getting ahead with God. That was part of my thought process this morning around one as the phone rang waking us up. As we settled back down to try to sleep again I realized this moment is the most important moment. It could be the beginning moment, the middle moment or an ending moment....but it is the moment of truth of being and being with the Lord in your heart and soul is the ultimate. In my heart as I laid there listening to the quiet of the night I felt a peace knowing Terry and I were safe in His care at that moment. Terry is there for me, and I for him, and together with God we make our time in a gentle peace enjoying the bounty we have in our love for Him and for each other. That is what is important to me in this moment.

Grace,
Laurie

'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...

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...
