Thank you for supporting the arts.




Daylight Saving definitely was not God's plan for us or he would have adjusted the day and night. I asked Terry this morning what states did NOT do it because I wanted to move there. I can't buy into the thought that this saves energy. We are only on real time four months out of the year. Why doesn't Congress just outvote the Lord and his creation and make DLS permanent? I truly dislike DLS.

Last night as Terry and I were trying to go to sleep by nine thirty old time/ten thirty new time, the phone rang. Often the phone rings in the middle of the night and it is a collect call from an inmate at the Dallas County Jail and always that is disturbing as I refuse the call hoping it is NOT one of my children or a relative in jail. BUT, it was our CPA out in California calling to go over our return. Here it is Sat night and she is working overtime at the office finishing up. We got the call because we have to pay this year. She wanted me prepared. This year I will have to plan better to either paint and sell less or put back more for Uncle Sam. Wish there was a candidate running that was ready to fix our tax system. It definitely is broken. AGAIN, I do not think the Lord created the tax system.

Not sure where the thoughts are flowing this morning, but I am grumbly getting up at four a.m. old time, 5 a.m. new time. This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it...think I will paint now. Otherwise I will fall face first onto my desk in a sound sleep. It is dark and in accordance to the word, it is still night and I should be asleep. Time for change somewhere in my life.

Grace,
Laurie

It was such a pleasure to find your blog this morning. I referenced it from the daily painters email. I loved the piggy bottoms. :) I was so sorry to hear of your father's Alzheimer's and your mothers illness. I live in Arlington so we are practically neighbors. Love your paintings Laurie.

All you need is a donkey and a windmill - raging against what, unfortunately, is. Love your blog.

I do not like Daylight Savings Time, either, and I think that our time ought to be standardized to regular time across our country.

I hope that your mother is MUCH better! She has many people praying for her and a loving, supportive family. Those two things can do wonders! Hold onto that belief!

If you think back, we always have bad periods, but then they are followed by good ones. Life loves balance, so this bad period through which you are going now is bound to change to a good one. Just hold on!

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...
