 12 Days!  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

“No space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused” ― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

Too easy to get caught up again in life and forget about staying in touch with God through prayer and keeping the peace and simplicity in your life.  We all seem to miss that opportunity daily.  

This last final coffee mug is the last gift of the 12 days. Mike Tudor... this is for you!  I hope it brings a smile this year as you use it.  

I said I would make it through the 12 days of Christmas before sharing.  Our extended family that was living with us has moved to a new home in the neighborhood.  It was with a heavy heart we watched our two granddaughters leave. I know they are just blocks away, but the house seems so empty without Lady M's singing and Lady L's continual conversation.  Also miss their Mom and Dad too. It is a big house for the two of us, but the good side is I have space again to paint and teach.  We took an opportunity and gave it all we had.  I think it was the right decision at the time given the situation and now we are ready to grow forward again. 

I still believe in multi-generational families and believe this could have worked with a different one story house layout. With us all piled on top of each other it was not working with sound carrying and echoing through the two story living area from the open upstairs.  Keep us in prayer with this transition.

"People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River."  Matthew 3:5-6

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...
