The day after... uh, my aching back! Somehow we woke to 70 degree temps this morning here in Dallas. DUH, what happened to winter?

Today will be general clean up and then begin preps for Sunday's Annual Chili party. I need to stop eating as I gained back all ten pounds I lost in November. I have NOT unloaded the Christmas Pictures but will try and get something up soon. It was truly wonderful and even better that Stacey and Larry drove in from Roanoke. Doctor said she could come for Christmas but she stayed in the chair with her feet up.

Truth. I have to write on Truth today. Those that know what is going on in my life right now, know I am burdened with a situation out of hand that is so close to me that it hurts. Terry and I tried to instill on our children that the most impt thing was to always tell the truth. It is hard when there are adults out there that toss things around in the air and paint situations to look desperate and twist the truth to their best advantage in order to gain from other people. The one thing I do know from life is to stand by the truth and to stand with God in your heart. You have beside you an army of angels so deep and so strong that you will survive the worst attacks of evil and dishonesty.

Hold to the truth in love. Teach your children that "truth stands the test of time." Proverbs 12:19.
Without truth you cannot have trust. The foundation you seek to build for the young ones in your life must be built on truth, trust and love.

Joy and Abundance

Laurie

"Though you do not see Him, you trust Him; and even now you are happy..." 1 Peter 1:8

Trusting God produces Joy.

It's a peaceful painting, Laurie.

The Lord knows our struggles. I'm so thankful He is the stability of all our times.

Wishing you a blessed 2009!

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...
