Bright and early...no wait, dark and early. It is 5:49 a.m. as I begin this blog. Terry left but his face was really green. We went out and ate for Justin's birthday last night and Justin, Terry and Morgan all ate VEAL CHOPS. Personally I do not eat much beef. Especially when I do not know where it came from. I won't eat baby Cow at all. An occasional hamburger is okay and when there is steak, I eat about six bites but that is it. SOOO, my man did not have a restful night and I hope he does better today. I did not have to fix breakfast or pack his lunch.

Today Mark Bryant is flying in for my show tonight at the Dutch Art Gallery. I think it is meet the artist from six to nine. He wants to see a collection of work and watch me paint for a day. I like gallery owners that take an interest in your work and your life. He is just getting his gallery up and going in Central Nevada. The website is up but not anywhere near developed or ready.

I will be working mainly on commission pieces this weekend and some pieces for The Red Tree Gallery in Atascadero, CA. Wendy has been wanting a music piece and I have not had time to do the painting. I have all the music layered on and it is ready, but I have not done one yet!

This is the ad Diane Whitehead and I have in the newest edition of Western Art Collector. It is a fabulous new magazine. This is my third month to run a full page ad, so if you have one of my paintings, you might want to pick up an issue. Diane and I are doing a show in Marble Falls, TX in October.





Have you faced disappointments in your life? Has someone you know well let you down? I know my favorite phrase is, "if every one would just do their job". To me the lack of responsibility in the younger generation is predictable as it has been for centuries. I basically decided God thinks that with every single one of us. Do you think we fall short of His wishes for us? With our need to control, we seem to be going in an opposite direction most of the time. So yeah, I believe we disappoint Him daily by not only our actions but our lack of actions. If you were in a new relationship you would invest valuable time and thought into courting that person or developing that relationship. God deserves this from us daily. Problem is we have so much going on there is not much time left for Him.

What can you do for God today? Focus on Him today as much as you can. You will see things in a new light and you will feel a calm surrounding you.

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...
