'Spring Recital'

SOLD

The NY Gallery is relocating at the end of this year. I had the owner send back some of

my favorite pieces so they were not included in the relocation sale.

THIS IS ONE OF MY MUSIC PIECES

available for sale directly from me.

I do not do very many of these keeping them highly collected. They are done with antique music from my grandfather. Most music from 1895-1925.

The Painting: RARE.. one of the few available. The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas has one mid size and two tiny ones and the Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole has one.... and I HAVE ONE!!! So if you are interested email me. Laurie

The Thought: A wild day of COLD weather at last. We have waited a long time! It is not going to freeze tonight but it will be done in the forties. We are still waiting for a freeze for bugs to be deleted from our lives for a few short months.

I hit the wall yesterday morning. It was one phone call with one person asking for one more thing from me that I cannot give any longer and I lost it. I handed Terry the phone and I literally hit the piano fingers flying and played hard and nonstop for almost an hour until I cried myself out. I went from classical music to my hymnal. When I play out of the hymnal I start at the front and work my way back. It takes almost three hours to play every hymn.... I only went about 25 pages in... and I was calm again. Sometimes I think my music is like prayer. Funny things is when I play out of the hymnal I feel my grandmother's presence like she is in the room with her knitting listening to me play, just like she did when I was growing up. So I felt God wrapped around me and her sitting near by just smiling with those clicking knitting needles. I got up calm.

Do you have something you do that connects you to Him besides just words or prayers? Believe it or not washing dishes is another place I connect. Whatever it is you do, celebrate it. Every contact you make with Him is vital to you in your life. Through words, actions and thoughts...He is there always.

So today it was appropriate to put up my Piano painting as a reminder of His grace....

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and painting.

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...

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...
