 Glazed and Dazed

After writing about shutting everything down yesterday morning, the day found our phones out as well as our internet.  I laughed to myself and knew God was chuckling as well.   The phones would work if someone called in, but would not work if we wanted to call out.  Our internet was down as well. As our little box kept trying to 'call' out to connect... it could not do it.  I thought my grandson was going to melt down.  We all thought he broke it when he was in here pushing buttons. Boy did we all kid him about it. Finally we reached the phone company using my dependable VERIZON phone and listened to the sad recording that the lines had been tampered with and cut.

About a month ago it happened and it was due to teenagers stealing the copper and it knocked out phone lines and everything.  I am sure it was something equally ridiculous.   God works like this in our lives. We are so intent on the objects in front of us drawing our attention to them... and He has to "cut the wires" to get our attention. He has to turn our head another way by creating a major attention getting situation.  I personally do not like those 'happenings'. I always told my kids God hits you upside the head with His baseball bat and you know when you have been clunked. He WILL have your attention.  So do you want to do it the easy way or the hard way?

We are off to Dallas this morning early to Asel art for a 3 x 4 ft canvas for a special commission painting of my pony pulls.  THEN off to see Lady L aka The Tink.  We will spend the night with Tink and return on the morrow.  Carol is keeping the dogs for us so she will keep the house cool and ready to go... we will only be gone 24 hours, so it is not bad.  We are celebrating Terry's birthday at lunch and Lady L is very excited buying balloons and cake.

I will try and blog if I have time, if not I will pick back up when we get back.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

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...
