Gathering the Morning Wood
American Indian Painting By Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas

Available, contact me and mention the title: Laurie



Just returned from a mile walk this morning. Temperature here are in the low sixties. IT WAS WONDERFUL. Walking by the elementary school and all the parents that walk the kids to school.... what a joyful way to start the day.

My only message that came to me while I was walking and praying was WAIT UPON THE LORD. I know there are several things in our lives that we are in waiting for, and I am sure you are as well. When I wait, I wait in hopeful thoughts of what is to come with God's plan. Almost like knowing there is a present on the table but I cannot open it until the appointed time.

If I get impatient and begin to try and work things out on my own, I know my life becomes a mess. I have learned at my ripe age to wait upon the Lord when in prayer. God will place upon my life the right events, the right people and the right places as they are to be. I will wait upon him with full trust and humility. His promise to me will be made as he is faithful to care for me.

So what ever you are waiting on, debating on and praying on, my advice is to Wait upon the Lord. It is in His timing and His promise that all will come to be for your journey. Just as if you pick a flower too soon, hoping to put it in water and watch it bloom, it may not. Better to leave it on the bush and wait upon the Lord. It will come to full bloom on its own.


Grace to you as we wait together.

Laurie

'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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said:      "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition:   Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet.  So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it.  Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher.  ...
