The Painting: This was from the archives. I actually did some collaging at Stacey's house on Jan 1st, but have not shot pictures of it. Will try and do that!

The Thought: This can't come from the archive as I write it from my heart with every key stroke.

Every heartbeat is from God's hand.. your heartbeat and mine. Every second is yours to take and use to the best it can be used. My wish for you this day is not to waste any part of it. Live it as it was meant to be lived.

As we took down the Christmas tree yesterday and I carefully put away my new manger scene... I thought lovingly of the angel that bought it for our family. She is a dear sister/friend that lives far from us in Texas. As I cradled each piece dusting it and wrapping it carefully... I thought of her and how blessed every Christmas would be with this wonderful new manger scene/group that she bought for our family. She is here in spirit in so many things in my home already, but this will be something I will cherish tenderly and pass on to Tink one day. Terry chuckled at me watching my face and actions and said, "you really like this don't you..." I nodded with a tear on my cheek and said how much I did cherish it.

As you put away the festivities of Christmas, reflect back through the years and the pieces of family that live on through your celebration. I laughed earlier because we have boxes of ornaments from KMART that were made in Bavaria. They were from Terry's side of the family from YEARS ago and are absolutely delicately gorgeous. You can't buy these anywhere now days... hand painted and so delicate. We have used them every year and together we pack them away sharing moments of Christmas past. It is a warm joyful thing to start the new year. Tucking away the memories of yesterday and embracing the new moment today.

Wishing you blessings of Abundance.

Laurie

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...

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...
