BRR cold in North Texas yesterday and today..  Terry and I took a trip out to Paradise TX and saw our dear friend Karen. She is a fellow artist with me and she also gives us a quick haircut with the visit. She is talented.  I will be working on her website and share some of her work as I do that this next few weeks.  The cold front moved in early yesterday plunging us in the high twenties last night with a freeze and today it was still cold.  

We had a great time today with one of our grandsons and took him and friend to eat Pizza in Solana at our favorite Italian place and then to the infamous Ice Cream and Candy store. Nothing like buying candy by the pound. Photo of Hubby and I below. 

Hubby and I have been centered a lot in the Bible. This past week I was in Isaiah studying the servants songs. Have you heard of this? It can be googled and through several areas from Chapt 42 forward, there are mentions of the servant and the servants song. This is all prophesy from Isaiah concerning the arrival of Jesus to come.  It truly will give you goosebumps as you read each of the Servant Songs and you suddenly feel the REAL in all of God's word. 

This below was part of my study last night:

"So why, then, do we make it so difficult for God and for ourselves? Why do we deprive ourselves of God’s abundant blessings that He promises to give in order to go after things that a) we aren’t guaranteed to get, and b) don’t last?
Do you make it difficult for God to be fully God in your life? How can you begin — today — to listen even more diligently to His words of wisdom?"

We always seem to get in the way of our own lives. Watch young children how easily they depend on the direction, care and love of their parents.  How easy for you make it for God to take care of you and give you direction in your life?  He wants to be fully in your life and you to be wholly His. 
So why, then, do we make it so diffcult for God d for ourselves? Why do we deprive

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' 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...
