COOL WATER
Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace



I am truly not sure what is happening with the BLOG and images this morning as I have attempted to load an image four times and it does not seem to be here.

Terry calls the BLOG the BLAB. His dad was over visiting yesterday dropping off TP's birthday card and we were catching up on things. Especially things that we were in the midst of.... Terry thinks I put everything in my blog/the blab, but I truly do not.

I learned so much though yesterday it is a shame not to share it. My mom is doing better and we are hoping for her release from the hospital today. My dad enjoyed visiting her yesterday; Terry took him to get a much needed haircut and then we all met for lunch. Well, not all of us. Terry stopped to put FUEL in the car. Remember it is a diesel and takes fuel not gas. Well, Dad got out of the car at the station and was walking around and a pan handler walked up trying to get money off Dad and Terry. Terry is very over protective and he shooed the guy off but gave him a dollar. He had already put his info in at the pump and grabbed the handled and pumped the gas. They left the station to drive to the restaurant to meet my brother Bill and me. The car stopped working just a block away.

Note: I said he put gas in the tank. Remember there is a difference between gas and fuel. The Baby Passat is at Rusty Wallis being cleaned out. We pick her up on Thursday. So I have learned that a diesel will not run on gas, only on fuel.

Isn't life grand? Keeping things like this in perspective is often hard, but we must. Brother Bill shared he did the same thing in reverse, putting diesel in his daughter's gas car. Ya know what is strange....that happened eight years ago...and both incidents happened at the same gas station. It is not even one close to our homes. It is a small world.

Jump into life today. You cannot always know what lies ahead in the day, so meet it in Faith that the Lord is next to you. For a reason, for a season, our life has meaning and direction, although it may not be predictable, it is our life and we cannot be afraid to live it to it's fullest.

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...
