SOLD THANK YOU!!!



Sunday Morning and the house is quiet as I get Terry off to work. Later Mom and I will drive up to see Dad today.

THEN upon arriving home, I am three days behind after being caught up after the summer, so I will be working late tonight and through the next few days. It is bad when I am out of paintings to post on my blog.

We enjoyed our time with Mark Bryant. He boarded a plane late yesterday afternoon to head back to Nevada. I am laughing at the Tomato, TOMMAATO thing the long "a" sound or the "ah" sound. I do not pronounce Nev"ah"da correctly....it is Nev "a" da. I may have to work on that after 55 years of saying it incorrectly.

The family reunion was all too fast. It was in a church we had never been to and we were surprised at the small turnout. I think some folks got lost. Usually there are 100 people there and I think maybe we might have had 35-40. I sure didn't change how good the food was. Terry took two barbecue chickens he made on the grill. I made Frito Corn Salad, fresh fruit salad, brownies, banana bread and we took two loaves of french bread with us. Aunt Eola had the homemade mac and cheese that was to die for and some blessed soul had a huge container of homemade banana pudding with vanilla wafers and fresh eggs whites whipped and toasted on top in a huge merangue. There was a fabulous feast set out though with all the different dishes folks brought to share.

We raced from there to the airport to drop Mark off, and then home to see our grandson Jonathan. We all went swimming at Grandpa Ben's place and back home again where Terry and Jon grilled hamburgers. Now you know what I gained 12 pounds this summer. Too much food.

There is an inner peace this morning with the quiet in the studio. I do not feel hurried at all despite knowing I have work ahead. Today is Sunday and it should be a day with family spent with the Father-God. It is a day to acknowledge this peace through out the hours and spend it in quiet and rest. It is here as we are comforted by God's embrace of love, we can rest feeling his arms around us and knowing He is watching out. His love enfolds us to be secure and safe.

I pray for you and yours today as I hold you up in prayer that you feel Him surrounding you with his presence. Together we are connected in spirit and truly comforted by his grace.

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...
