The Painting:  It continues....


The Thought:  I have to share with you today a new Christian Author.  I just finished a book by her, not knowing anything about her, her background or how much she had written.  My favorite series is Liz Curtis Higgs Scottish Series. It is one of the best series I have read to date.  Terry ordered the book "The Frontiersman's Daughter" for me for Christmas. It was written by Laura Frantz.  It was one of those books that was written so well, you didn't know what would happen. It was not a milk toast book with only predictability, but a book that was written as people lived and breathed and reacted to life, not always making those right choices.   It was a book that was so good I savored it and enjoyed every time I had time to read.  Before I was even through with it, I flew to amazon.com to see what else I could order by Laura Frantz.  I was disappointed as there was only a preorder for her next book due out this year.

Current Book to order, just click the book.





Well, the more I reflected I decided I was blessed as I get to build up in anticipation to the next book and hopefully more to come from this new author. Reading is my salvation and joy with the Bible and my pleasure and retreat with my other books. I have a huge library and I reread all of them... delighting in the stories and finding new things in them as I do.


New Book to pre-order, just click the book!




I wish you joy in life in whatever you do!

Laurie


"The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;

Your loving kindness, O Lord, is everlasting;

Do not forsake the works of Your hands."  
Psalm 138:8

Laurie, It's such a blessing and honor to have you read my book and post about it on here. That just blesses me immensely! I'm going to post about you and another artist this week and have added you to my blog roll on my sidebar.
Your artwork is so amazing! I've often thought that if the Lord hadn't blessed me with the gift of writing I'd love to be an artist like you. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I'm so glad my book blessed you.

Laurie,after seeing the link for Frontiersman's Daughter on yesterday's blog I placed an order immediately. Today you sold me again - I pre-ordered the new one.I will check into the series as well. I have been reading Jan Karon and Beverly Lewis series and it is time I switch gears and try Laura Franz.

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' 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

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...
