I am sitting in the dark. Now the lights in my studio are only working 50%. The entire desk area and where I paint is dark. The day has not started out on the best foot at all. I cannot do anything anywhere else in the house unless I carry a flashlight. Are there ANY electricians reading this blog? Terry's desk is lit up but I do not want to be on the PC today and none of my stuff is on it. Everything in this house is worn out. I am not far behind now. I have maintained hope with lights in this room where I need to work, but I guess I will finish this blog and go sit in the dark until the sun comes up. I would like to see my husband do his job in the dark.

On the brighter side I did go visit my mom yesterday afternoon. She was dressed and with makeup and looking very pretty. We are praying her strength returns soon as she is still very tired and moving slowly. The pink in her face and the twinkle in her eye are a song in my heart. I give praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for her healing.

Moving slowly in life is perhaps a reminder of the tortoise and the hare story we all heard when we were younger. Steady is the course, and steady in your faith in the Lord and His knowledge of your unknown future. As a child, a young child, you never gave thought to the future. You were focused on the moment and your immediate needs. How can we be more child-like? Give your worry about the future to the Lord as I must turn and give him my darkness issue and pray he will provide someone to bring light back into my home. It is four weeks now we have lived like this. I remain patient and will work daylight hours in faith.

Grace,
Laurie

" When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

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...
