"Christ Himself is the Creator who made everything in heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can't; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for His own use and glory. " Colossians 1:16


Jonathan was over yesterday to visit. Mom and I went to church and after church met my eldest son Justin and my grandson, Jonathan for lunch. Then it was a quick trip to Barnes and Noble for THE SHACK for mom to start reading hers. I can't say enough about this book, except GO BUY A COPY of it.

Home we came. Jonathan wanted to make Chocolate Chip Cookies, so we used Aunt Stacey's favorite recipe and that was my downfall as I ate two cookies and they were good! Terry got home and we went for walk. On the walk Jon said he wanted to paint...so we hurried home to do just that. Here is a slide show of him working away...

ENJOY!!!



Jon grew up with us from age 3 to age 6 in our household. He was such a joy then, just as he is now. We wish we could see him more, but they live in another town north of Dallas. I think we will see more of little Lauren since we are going to have her three days a week.

The short times we have with Jonathan are truly special and we try to make every moment count. That is what life is about, making every moment count...but is it making it count for you??? Or for others?

Today we are heading to Bonham with Terry's dad. He has medical appointments at the VA and Terry and I are going to take my dad to lunch while his dad is doing his medical appts. SO I will try to remember to take my camera... and capture what moments I can to make the memory of being with both our dads count.

"By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You. I have become as a wonder to many, but You are my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory allthe day. Psalm 71:6-8

Hey Laurie, I purchased The Shack a couple weeks ago. I'm about half-way thru it, but had to set it aside for classwork and moving. It's definitely a must read. Blessings, SusanD

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...
