PRE-NOTE:  I am in immediate search of a small white teddy bear with a pink tutu....please email me Laurie
if you know of where I can find one.  THANKS!

The Painting: This was started last week and finished this week.  Softness of white and tan countered with golds, Indian wheat, violet blues and periwinkle... all layered in this angelic composition.

The Thought:  Well, Terry and I have continued with the puzzle.  He made the comment that he felt stupid at times sitting there twenty minutes with a puzzle piece in hand and it slips simply into a spot where he has been staring at.  The answer was there all the time... he was just looking to hard.   I have decided it has be done in the next two weeks so I can put it up for us to have Christmas eve here and feed everyone.

We all have things in life we are trying to figure out and I cannot emphasize enough you are trying too hard to see the answers. God has provided those answers. You are so stuck in your box you cannot possible even begin to see them over the edge of the side of your box...and the answers are right there in front of you.  The love you want is there. The job you need is there. The money that you are short is truly there; you are looking for these things in a predictable way that you can control.  You have not sat in simple concentration and prayer with God for HIM to show you where you will find the missing love or the job you need.  Our way is not His way. 

When someone is missing from your life you cannot bring them back. You have to get into the daily habit of releasing them to God. You are in God's heart and you are filled with His spirit. The next best thing is to pray that God is in this person's life filling them with His grace.  Viola you are connected through the Spirit.


The missing job... you are obviously going in the wrong direction or it would be working. Your mindset is in concrete and nothing can pull you from it...so be ready to be poor and miserable. You need to reinvent yourself and refocus on other assets. God obviously wants you going a different direction. YOU need to try it out.  Try a different career.  Do the un-obvious and pray.



Money is short for bills?  Get creative.  This week we made goulash again and it will feed us for five days.  We get tired of eating it, but we keep fresh organic fruit and breads that rotate that make it easier.  Perhaps you could offer your services to family or friends letting them know you need to pick up some extra money to help out right now.   You may find you enjoy raking leaves or painting walls...and the money will be there that you need and you will be helping someone else out.   I remember when I was young and the kids were young, my friends and I would get together and help each other clean house.  It was WONDERFUL.  We each took certain areas of the house and did it. Our kids played together.  By working together we each ended up with a clean house and we had fun doing it.   Another friend and I would cook on Sundays and make enough to trade out with each other on part of the food.  I loved her Hawaiin Meatballs and she loved my chili.  We did dessert trades too...and by each of us preparing two meals on Sunday for two families, we were able to feed our families all week from those meals.


Back to THE puzzle.  We are not even half way... and I should be spending more time working on it too.  Mid day is best for me...mind and light on the pieces.


Is there a best time to talk to God to figure out your decision on something?  Nope, anytime is good for Him. Infact,  give Him a nod right now... reach out and tell Him you  are ready to release your control to Him, for Him to order your steps....and send you in the right direction.

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...
