The Calling
Commission Painting Oil on Canvas by Laurie Pace  

LOVE this painting. It comes up every year closer to August when my dear friend Queen Esther starred in NY in a musical. She has been on broadway many times and this was on the re-opening of the Apollo Theater back about 22 years ago. She is a forever friend, a mentor and a classy woman with a huge voice!

1 Thessalonians 4:14 "For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep."

This is the week that brings me to my knees and my heart to mourn and then to sing. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I implore you to read one of the Gospels of His birth and His life here on earth; Matthew or Luke both offer great insight to His time spent here.   

Did you know Jesus has been with God in heaven, along with the Holy Spirit, since before the earth was created? While I am not sure what they did prior to this time, Hubby and I are deeply invested in our faith, still growing in His word and more aware of how we live our lives.  Attending a Bible church that teaches scripture and avoids telling "stories", we find ourself in the Word daily.  While the Bible is full of words, these are ancient writings passed through the Jewish people until the arrival of Jesus as a babe.  We also have a Tanach, which is the Hebrew Bible containing the Torah, Prophets and Writings. I love reading the views of Jewish Rabbis through out the past 2000 years. It  is an eye opener to compare the text of the Torah to our Old Testament and interesting how many 'versions' of the Christian Bible there are.  Be careful what you have in your hands to read. 
Be careful what grows in your heart, make way for His second coming.  Elle

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...
