Well, the hurricane is on all channels. My brother and mother are going to drive north to Bonham this morning to visit my dad. I am 50/50 on going as I spent the day shopping with mother yesterday and I really need to stick around here and I am not the best car rider in the back seat when driving through major weather. They are predicting the rains to be here later this afternoon. At the rate the storm keeps changing paths, we may not see as much rain here in Dallas at all...but where Dad is, is north east of here and that is in the path of heavier rain.

Last night we dropped by The Dutch Art Gallery after my brother called and said, DID YOU KNOW there is a wine and cheese party tonight? NO we did not. We were sitting at the table eating homemade brushetta, homemade speghetti and meathballs and thick yummy desserts from Henk's in Dallas. I was even miserable when we went to bed last night! The exhibit is nice.

I took these pictures the day they were hanging things at The Dutch Art Gallery.





Yesterday morning BEFORE mother called I was cleaning house. That has to be finished today. I cleaned out some bathroom cabinets as well and tossed many unneeded things. Again thinking on the lines of simplifying life. She wanted to go see the show yesterday, shop at Pier One, and do an exchange at Khols. I bought Stacey some Maternity things at Khol's and at Pier One I am considering a table with some pretty cool chair to put in the dining room. I moved Terry's fifties table from his mom into the breakfast area. Now the kitchen and breakfast room look so nice! I keep shifting things around trying to find the right niches. I also picked up some wine racks for some of the wine we had shipped from NY. Much to do today besides paint and I am more eager to paint than do anything else.

Today would be a great day to encourage someone. When you take that time you begin to actually see their inner divine nature. When you take that time you direct your energy into them and you encourage them to reach beyond what they believe that can do. Your words of assurance can boost new thoughts and new direction and from that new joy.

What can I encourage you to do today?

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...
