It is only six thirty this morning. Terry is still sleeping soundly and I am up to blog. At least we did sleep last night sort of...they had a king room but the location was by that noisy ice machine that kept us awake the last time we stayed here. This is a huge resort. Problem this weekend which we did not anticipate because of Texas OU weekend, is there are four wedding parties here. This resort is packed. They found us a quiet room on the seventh floor, water front view, very nice, but only two double beds. not even queen. I think it is like the second side of a suite or something. So we started out on two beds, and of course after all these years of marriage, that didn't work. So we crammed together on one bed. I had the smaller side.

The opening at Patina last night was wonderful. I have pictures but forgot to bring the things that moves them from my camera to the computer, so you will have to wait for pictures until tomorrow morning. There was a huge crowd there last night and Terry and I enjoyed meeting everyone. This is truly a unique place to live! John and Marnie that own Patina are incredible.

When you meet so many folks at one time with different personalities, lifestyles and backgrounds, it makes you aware how blessed you are to see life in so many way. God created each of us with such unique ways, each of us individuals and yet all his children. I encourage you today to break away from your usual activities and try something new and different for you. Meet someone new today. Call someone you would never think to call and share conversation. Take a walk on a new route today and make sure you greet everyone you see. Small changes in your habits will welcome huge new changes in your life.

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...
