Shorter posts this week as we have a respite teenager in the house. The kitchen remodel continues and I am taking pictures for a grand slide show. What I did snap a few pictures of are things Mak and I were drawing last night while watching Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel. Terry was in the kitchen stripping cabinets.



Yesterday when Liz and Darla were here working on sheetrock and electrical stuff I told them both I wanted to adopt them. Would their parents mind? They are both in their thirties and giggled of course. I told them no matter what I would add them to my will. More Chuckles followed. Mom and I had been to church and brought home Kentucky Fried Chicken and sides. I can honestly tell you I have not had KFC in about 18 months and I know why. It was the best comfort food going down but later I must have swallowed 3 gallons of water from all the high sodium!

Back to my will, or rather yours. What do you have for your children to inherit? Or your grandchildren? There are so many physical things to list, but I want to turn thoughts to the spiritual sense. I would like them to know not only of God's great love, but of His mercy. The sharing of this knowledge should pass from generation to generation as it has over the centuries. If we want this for our children and grand-children, we must fashion our lives to be an example to them, to reverence the Lord.

Mercy is God's gift to us and our reverence is our gift bakc to Him. This is a legace for all generations and ties us together as one in His name.

May His Mercy be upon you through this Christmas Season.

Laurie

"For He, the might one, is holy, and He has done great things for me. His mercy goes on from generation to generation, to all who fear him." Luke 1:49-50

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...
