The Painting: Well I started it six years ago... found it in the closet and decided perhaps I need to finsih it! Stay tuned over the next few days for work on it. Today was busy with dress fittings for the upcoming wedding and birthday shopping for Tink. Stacey and I had a wonderful day....so I did not paint today.

The Thought: This painting is a long work in progress... as is life. Just when you think you are getting the hang of things, life changes. Never better, never worse but ALWAYS different. Sometimes I shake my head and can imagine God chuckling as He made the plans for my life before I was even breathing here on earth. I think we all remain in suspense in our own lives never knowing what the day will bring.

My friend, stay open to change. Think of yourself on a raft floating down the river...there are rapids and smooth areas...relax and allow yourself to float through breathlessly with out a snag or a hiccup...it is only when you fight the river that you lose. You lose power, strength and even your life. Stop trying to control the flow of the river. God is on that raft with you and He will guide you through the rapids and the rocks along the way.

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 © 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

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...
