HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERRY!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

72 Hours... his dream came true for 72 Hours.  He loved this car.  We bought it for my birthday and his birthday and all the Christmases for the next five years...but only had it for 72 hours.

His birthday is today. I only wish we still had this car.  He loved it.  What was the problem?  I could not ride in it. I could drive it, but not ride in it. The suspension did something to my lower back and legs that was beyond painful.  When we bought it and drove it home, I was riding and in tremendous pain on that two hour trip. 

Long story very short, we could not keep it. He still wishes he had the car and I still watch for one to buy for him but I think we missed the window. The kids all ask me what to get him for birthday, but I have no idea. With our downsizing and joining of families, we are basically purging down to basics.  He had one back in 1970... a REAL one as he says.  I dare not try Ebay for anything. If it happens it will be a newer model.



So today, we will go to his favorite restaurant, Uncle Julio's... and maybe snag my Mom... as her birthday is tomorrow.  All the kids will come with the grands.  What fun.  






I have known this man since I was 11 years old. I am 62, so that is over fifty years.  He captured my heart the first day I saw him in Jr High. Our years have been richly blessed and we are more in love today than yesterday.  




Once in a lifetime if you are blessed you find that soulmate people always dream about. Terry Pace I am so thankful for you in my life and all the wonderful things you gift each of us with each day.  While I am sorry there is no Challenger outside on the driveway, I can promise lots of love in the years to come. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY T.P.

'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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said:      "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition:   Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet.  So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it.  Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher.  ...
