There is always that one winter day that the sunlight seems brighter and warmth begins to creep into the air, just slightly in the mid-afternoon hours. That is what this painting was trying to capture...that crystallized moment of warmth and coolness together.

Our lives are like that too. In those times when it is cold and dark....we focus on a beam of light to guide us back into the sunlight. For many living in the dark for a long time, they grow accustomed to their dark environment. When that beam of light hits into their lives, they often turn away because the truth of the light casting open the reality around them hurts. First reaction is to turn away and close their eyes. They do not want to face what it is there. It is so much easier to hide from it in the dark. They turn from the light of the Lord and the warmth of his love. I wish I knew the answer, if I did I would share it. I know as a believer I must continue to shine the light from my heart out to those around me. I have to then pray that those so close to me, living in darkness, will finally realize everything is much easier to do in the light. It is painful adjusting from dark to light, but it comes quickly if they will believe. Believe in themselves and the goodness God planted in them at conception. Believe in the rightness of the Lord to balance out their lives IF they are ready to be open and receptive.

Alternative is to stay in the dark, living in the shadows and never finding your way. Lost forever in darkness.

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...
