Well we were up late last night...it was the night before CHILI PARTY...which is tonight. Terry was cutting and preparing until way after eleven...despite the fact we had to be up at five for him to leave for work. At our house this is a serious venture and Terry prepares two or three pots of Chili. He also makes me a small pot with out hot peppers in it! This is an annual event and usually the week after Christmas, but the house was only so so and I had not had time to invite folks...so I put it off till tonight. I figure it is the 11th day of Christmas, it still works! Everyone coming will bring White Elephant Gifts to have the numbered gift exchange where you can steal gifts from each other. I hope there are no orange toilet seats this year.

Tomorrow I will post more photos of inside the house as Morgan has been working even more the past two days and I believe we are almost as the point we can enjoy what is here and take a break from construction.


This is Terry in the Kitchen Seriously at Work.


These are all our organic veggies being soaked and washed in fruit wash. I
was attracted to all the colors.



Onion cutting time.....



Three pots going at one time.





The end results....


More tomorrow on the happenings. From the great city of Dallas, in the Great State of Texas...I wish you the best weekend....Our temps are climbing near eighty today after record lows all week around twenty degrees. This is the norm though!

Have a bowl of Chili and SMILE!

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.

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...
