Moments of meditation are abundant for me through out yesterday and this morning.  Just sitting back and totally immersing my mind in the simplicity of this granddaughter. Our God is so good.


This is so true of many of the things that grace our world, from the simple blooming pink rose blowing on the vine outside the window, to the quiet of the sunrise on the lake...and back to watching this beautiful baby eat her mother's famous French Toast recipe yesterday morning.

Then it was off to Target. I cannot come into the city with out a trip to Target.  It was there I found the Tinkerbelle tyke bike for a two year old. Our Tink comes close to two... so it was a no brainer on sale. Pictures will follow this next week.

Today I am up way way early.  We have to leave here around six to drive to the VW dealership in Richardson TX to drop off our car and pray they will have time to get to the compressor.  

 Abundance in His grace to you this day.  Look around you and mediate on the glory He has provided to nourish you.

I absolutely love today's painting and the photo of your Tink is so cute.
I had to play catch-up with your blog as we had family in from out of town this weekend so I took no time for the computer.
What is with the hunderd+ degree temps in Texas? Here it is expected but not there. I hope you all get relief soon.
Stay cool...love you..

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...
