I will always remember this painting. The verse written on it you have seen on this blog and my website... the Lord's Prayer covers the front of the canvas before a light wash of rust red was tinted over it. The wolves were drawn on and the painting began. This is truly a one of a kind, and the best thing to get is a commissioned painting that is one of a kind. 

"Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they will be called Children of God." Matthew 5:9

A short blog today. Been busy with learning curves on FB, and Instagram, cooking and then tending to friends.  

We all have times in life where our feelings may be hurt by words from others, some intentional hurts, and some that just slip into happening. What do you do with them?

A wise minister once told me... you let it go. You extend grace and you walk away from conflict as God would want you to do. 

I know in life there are times we buckle on that armor of God, but in the same breath...there are times we turn away from igniting conflict and prayerfully extend grace.

God never wants us to worry, to fear, or to obsess over things we cannot change. Time is on your side... walk away, give it time and disengage. 

When facing conflict with another person, there is always the debate on what you might be willing to risk with your words or actions as you decide how to defuse the conflict and reconcile the situation. Do not compromise your values or your needs.  That probably means something like "We can talk later." and turning away.

You cannot possibly anticipate what has happened to actually create this hurt and you cannot always predict where the anger or ugly words were born out of.  Don't be worn down. Do not allow these events to suck energy from you or stir anger in you.  Do not allow any fuel from you into the fire that already exists. 

Learn now that walking away from conflict is easier done with grace and stepping back and away, sooner than later.

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...
