Celebrate Each Day

The past month has brought monumental changes in our lives... especially mine. I lost my closest family member that was 94 years old.  Our days are determined by the Lord, and none of us expected her to live this long and most of the 94 years in good health.  She has had several close calls with death in the last half of her life but rallied through everything. 
 


Her hands were that of a healer... they held us all as babies, as young children, a church friend, a kind neighbor, a hungry teen, our marriages, our babies (grandchildren and great grandchildren), our own hands through brutal times in life... She spent 94 1/2 years walking this earth with her faith, her strength, her love, her kindness, her determination, her intelligence... and those hands rarely rested as she served others. She loved fiercely, took care of her family with God and grace in hand, she served in His name, active in church, community, teaching and singing. Many were touched by those healing hands. She studied and took classes up until a year ago, but it was in her early sixties she became a Pilates instructor and made it a mission and volunteered to visit senior living places and teach seniors how to move and stay limber.  

This beautiful woman was surrounded by all of us on this journey on to God, and greeted there by many loved ones and friends. She was one of those that always gave back and your life was better because of it.  

Live life today and enjoy the gifts you have and share as often as you can. Make a difference.  
“Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" Isaiah 58:7

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' 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...
