"She is a gift that keeps on giving back to all of us.  She is a God's beautiful miracle to me... she never ceases to amaze me and I give thanks daily having this beautiful daughter. Life changes when you have children and even more when you have a daughter. "  Laurie Pace

Today is her birthday and like my other children, I have to celebrate this day on my blog and share it with you. Last year we did a huge surprise party but right now there is too much going on to try and pull anything off like it again!

She grew up between two brothers.  She was a constant defender and protector for both of them and still is today. She loves with all her heart, body and soul.  She is a fierce defender of family. 
Her two daughters are as different as night and day.  One is seven and one just turned one.  They do not look alike or act alike, but what they share is that same love of family and of each other. She is a wonderful mother and wife.  I only worry she does not take care of herself as she should, something so common in women that love so fiercely. 

My favorite picture of the trio as they got older is this last one.  She was a rocking teen with a thirst for life, a keen sense of right and wrong and loved her friends with a similar passion as her family.  
She carries all this forward into her family today.  Everyday brings laughter and happiness and finding the good in the day and in the people you encounter in that day.  I worry with the world as untrustworthy as it has become, that it will be hard to teach her daughters to reach out with compassion safely to help others. She has a different world to grow these daughters in.  God be willing, I will see them grow into beautiful young women that find their way through life with love, compassion and respect for others. 
“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’  Ezekiel 16:44

Happy Birthday my sweet girl.
Mom

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...
