Dance of The Veils Two
Contemporary Oil Painting of a Dancer by Laurie Justus Pace

18 x24 inches
Inquiries: Laurie



At last a short moment to blog. We didn't sleep much last night. Seems that a production company was inhabiting the rooms around us and they worked through the night. NO ONE answered at the desk, but believe me they heard from us this morning. I was in the hall at three a.m. begging them to please shut their doors and allow some of us to sleep.

We have had breakfast and are heading into town to walk a bit this morning. We are also changing rooms this morning...up to the third floor. Maybe we will sleep tonight. I hope we sleep somewhere soon....

We stopped by the gallery yesterday. Half of the work is hung. I will take pictures today when we stop in! More to come.

We continue to grasp tightly to the Lord and know we are where we are suppose to be and the journey is for a reason. In His time it will be known. I am so grateful to have my supportive loving husband to shore me up when I fall. Fall down the curb, fall asleep in the chair, fall to the demise of depression of wanting to go home. He always tells me at night after we have prayed and we are ready to fall asleep that he has my backside. I know God is in him and that is why he is with me. I could have never been married to a non believer. It is our faith and our constant prayers that we make each day.

Think today of those in your life that cover your backside...or shore you up when you want to fall over. Know that God is working through them to allow you to feel his love through another human...by touch. We are touched by God every second of our lives, but somehow we neglect to realize that. So I believe he often works through those around us for comfort. He is our 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...
