Thursday looms with a list on my desk and it is just 5:56 a.m. I have to do my Texas Sales Tax this morning, fix the three errors in my new 2008 Painted Pony Book and start one more painting! Mix in cleaning house, doing wash, bringing boxes from Storage and my day is pretty well set. This painting was completed a few days ago. I worked on the cityscape with Morgan yesterday and as it was finished I still debated whether to post it to this blog, but I will tomorrow. We had a wonderful time working on it together.

Working together is something to key in on for the new year. In my classrooms I never had a major discipline issue or rarely needed an intervention plan. From the first day of class it was ingrained into my children that we were family and they were spending more waking hours in that classroom during the day than they spent at home. We visited about how you can care about someone and still have anger. Long discussions included how our feelings often get hurt and how to deal with that...but most importantly the simple fact of Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You. Treat others as you want to be treated...makes working together and living life so much easier. I have decided so many parents today are giving their children so many choices and the choices are often there but not the back up information of how will your choice affect others around you. It is so important to think through even the smallest reaction and teaching children to think a moment before responding leads to a calm contented classroom. Imagine what this would do for the world. Well, maybe most of the world.

Blessings of His Light and Love,
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.

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...
