The Painting: This is the fifth in my Modern Small Horse Series. They are gorgeous framed in thick frames. I saved this one for my card to you this day!

The Thought:  Here is our slide show from Christmas Eve.  Dallas received a blow from the north with lots of wind and snow.  All Church Services were canceled and we finished up our evening early so every one could get home while it was light. All bridges and overpasses were closed down with the storm. We made the decision not to even attempt to try and attend my brothers annual Christmas Party. This is something we look forward to every year.  We will enjoy the German Stollen they dropped off for us to eat Christmas Morning.  A white Christmas is rare indeed... and Dallas totally closes down when is snows. We will be up very early tomorrow for Terry to make the trip from our home to DFW to work. Yes, he has to work on Christmas.  Someone has to keep those planes in the air for the rest of you! The normal 25 minute trip will probably take two hours.

It is not light enough for morning pictures but I will add some new pictures to the slide show after the sun is up this gorgeous white Christmas morning. It has been 83 years since Dallas had a white Christmas.








THIS MORNING after the sun came UP:






HIS Gift for you:

Unto each of us a precious gift is given with the celebration of the birth of Jesus. If taken seriously, this gift erupts into something that wraps itself through the very fiber of your being.  This gift lights your way in the darkest of times in your life.  This joy fills your heart with warmth and peace. This love is deeper than anything you or I could ever understand.  It is right there with you, waiting for you to accept it and open it.

From my heart and my home I wish you all the blessing of this glorious season.  May your heart open to receive His Love.

Laurie

"“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.”Luke 2:16-20

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...
