 I chose this painting from my store, so if you like it click it. It is on sale for $399.  It will require a frame, it is painted on a panel with beautiful thick paint.  The story felt when being painted, was one of finally feeling at 'home' in the house we moved to two and a half years ago.  It always takes a period of time to adjust to a new place and we were really feeling the joy when I painted this one.  
I love this quote I found so very much, I may have to use it in my newsletter.

  "Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action."  Mother Teresa


With the latest changes here at our house this spoke volumes to me.  As you know from my posts things have changed in our lives. Our daughter and her family are now living with us. We have made our first week together and no one has cried or lost it. I know both Terry and I are exhausted.  We are exhausted with being busy, which is actually good for us.  Lady L, the almost five month old, is totally spoiled by having us nearby. She has wrapped her 'Bampa' around her finger and she is now wrapped in his heart. She is redefining for me "falling in love".  You cannot help being taken in by her huge smiles and flirty eyes.  
Not much has changed in our routine in the early hours... we wake up and watch the news in bed with coffee for him and coconut water for me.  By seven thirty we are in the kitchen preparing our meal and it is easy to prepare something for Lady L at the same time.  

 Their family has found the biggest change for them is sitting at the table together as a family and sharing the thanks to God, the food and the companionship.  

Living day by day with the challenges we face, seeking God through prayer, adoration and petition, we make our way 'in love' for the greater good.

 Blessings, Laurie

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...
