“I heard of a tradition," said Thorne, "where the guests are supposed to make a bunch of raucous noise outside of the bridal chambers on the wedding night, until you give us candy and send us away."   Scarlet glared at him. "Yeah, please don't do that.” ― Marissa Meyer, Stars Above
Yep, it is a strange one.... but sometimes an artist has to do what an artist has to do! This was way way back in 2005... 11 years ago.  Part of a pop art series.  I am heading into exploring another area with figurative and I am not sure how to get there and believe it may take a year to even scratch the surface.  That will be a lot of painting time ahead.
Sometimes we often feel that process is the same with praying and God, but it truly is not. God knows what we are thinking before we hear it in our own brain... that little voice that talks up there.  We believe we have to earn the way with God... when in fact we only have to believe and truly believe in our heart and it all happens right then.  But staying connected is the hardest thing for each of us to do... staying connected with God throughout our waking hours.
One of the verses from the Bible Study that touched my heart is in Deuteronomy. Please read it through and listen to the words. 
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.  Impress them on your children.Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
  • Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and strength
  • Let this be on your heart all the time
  • Impress this on your children
  • Talk about this when you are at home
  • Talk about this when you are on the road
  • Talk about this when you lie down at night
  • Talk about this when you get up in the morning
  • Keep the words tied to your hands (In what you do)
  • Bind them on your forehead so you do not forget them
  • Write them on the doorframes of your house
  • Write them on your gate.
Sadly when I look back to the raising of the kids time... we did attend church and we prayed at meals and we thought we were walking the walk, but reading this passage I feel like I failed somewhere.  He has to be woven into your life, your words, your actions, your deeds, your children, your family, your home and in your thoughts.

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...
