Hills are both literal and psychological.  Some hills are higher to climb than others. Some hills offer something pretty neat on the other side. What hill are you climbing right now?

I really sat and thought about this blog before I began it. In the past week:
  • I lost a favorite Aunt, my dad's sister.  
  • I heard from some dear friends the dad has colon cancer.
  • One of my older art friends has a wife on the verge of sliding further up the other side of her hill into God's arms, also with cancer. 
  • Lady M, our newest granddaughter will be Baptised in a few weeks to celebrate her new journey in life as she begins to 'climb' her hill of life.
  • This past weekend we celebrated Easter and the death and resurrection of Christ.  From the top of the HIll of Calvary, down to the depths of hell and rising again to the highest existence with God the Father.
So, with that list being there in front of me... it truly put a lot into perspective.  I continue to do my meditations with the Healing Codes. Terry and I are working on cleaning up our diets again. With all of this comes a beautiful change of heart. Connecting throughout the day to God not just in prayer but listening while meditating; then smiling and feeling His light surrounding me and flowing through me - I have begun to realize the need is to have an open heart to him.  Really how important are things in your everyday life that seems to drain you of your energy and happiness.  Did you ever stop to think of everything that is weighing you down?  Where are you on your journey? What hill are you climbing? What is truly the most important thing in your life right now? Where is your joy? 

Sending you light and love, Laurie

 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.  Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." James 1: 2-8

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...
