The Painting:  This is another archival piece from 2005.  Old pottery and bowls are often handed down in families.  This was a still life set up from something in the past...

The Thought:  We went to the Symphony last night:


Terry, Crystal and Laurie



My brother was able to get us a Loge Box for Crystal's first symphony.


Our view!

As always the Dallas Symphony Orchestra puts on one of the best Christmas programs you could imagine.  Our favorite piece was the Twelve Days of Christmas using the flair and compositions from some of the greatest composers to date.  It was unbelievable.

There is much from the season surrounding you as well.  It is not just the snow, jingle bells or presents stacked under the tree, it is the love that warms the heart from the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child. It is the memories from Christmas past.  Tomorrow night we will attend the German Service at St Paul United Church of Christ in Dallas.  They are known through out Texas for their annual German Service and there is usually not a seat left in the house.  For me Silent Night is not Silent Night if it is not sung in German. In fact most of my first memories of Christmas are my Nanie singing to me in German.  "Oh Tannebaum, oh Tannebaum..." (Yes Conni, I probably misspelled that one.)

Celebrate in your heart something from a past Christmas season that brought you joy. Share that memory with someone. Pull together all those heart strings into one sweet melody and accept Him into your heart with the joyous strains of heavenly hosts.

“Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:7, 9-10

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...
