Red Flowers is available in my Small Collectibles, just click the painting.

 Not sure where the year went but am sure the new one arrived.  Here in North Texas it is cold and rainy and a little bit of ice on top. Today it is going to thaw out to fifty degrees! 

 New Year always brings thoughts of starting over, laying out plans, making those resolutions we all break... but I believe it is a often a search for happiness.  Talk to my grandmother and you would immediately realize you can not 'find' happiness.  
Happiness finds you.

 When you can find contentment inside yourself those constant racing thoughts of control and demands begin to dissipate. When you realize you can be quiet and just enjoy the sounds around you and breath in the grace of the moment, you are on your way.  When you accept a relationship with the Father and relinquish your feeble attempts of control and realize His plan is the only plan, you are beginning to arrive.  Happiness happens. Happiness finds you.

 Happiness finds you while you are doing for others unselfishly.

 Happiness finds you in the peace and calmness of the moment when you can block out 'YOU".

 Happiness find you in the joys of family and friends sharing time without TV, computers and phones.

 My prayer for you is to slow down this year and discover the simplicity of life God intends for you. Happiness is waiting for you.

 Laurie

 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Psalm 90:12 NIV

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...
