“The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.” ― Walt Disney Company, Mulan
Here it is Wednesday and I do not have an update on the studio. SAD... I am sad.   This old floral painting just about reflects the household right now!   Terry has worked diligently putting in a new sturdy back door with inset blinds in between the glass.  We also ordered a new front door, by accident... happened to be in the right place at the right time. Lowes.   They were having 15% off ordered doors... and we narrowed it down and when they were running numbers on the more expensive one they suddenly realized no one had changed the pricing on the doors in three years there in the store. They had to meet the price it was, plus give the 15 percent...AND give me another 15 percent off with my Home Depot coupon they met.  We save $1500 on the new front door. It is a Pella Architect series and I am pretty excited about it.  In about two months I promised to share pictures of it!
Terry hung the new backdoor this last weekend.  He also changed all the locks on the doors.  He has been very busy. He had to basically reframe the back door as it was not originally built correctly.  It is now.  This week he is hanging the TV in the den temporarily to get it off the floor from little fingers. HOPEFULLY boxing work headed to Mirada Fine Art for my Show in Denver on June 17th.
So while our life feels like the whirlwind of these flowers... we will bloom through this adversity!
Here is a shot of me with the two youngest grands... "Lady M" and "Cappy" short for the Captain. They are truly the balm in the day... spending this quality time with all of our grands.  This is at Lady M's house.  Ours is a bit dicey yet.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 NIV

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
