WHIPPET IN FLIGHT
SOLD


Only four hours of sleep will lead to a long day at the easel. I have been up for an hour and am getting ready to paint. I will have to stay concentrated and not stray from what I have ahead.

I had a challenge from Anne Stark who raises Whippets in Ohio, to paint them. So you will see a new series of Whippets coming from my studio. They are majestic to watch running and are very similar to Greyhounds. Their swiftness is so close to the beauty of the horse running so I am excited about taking this on.

DASH Diet. That is what they have my Mother on, the DASH DIET. Daily Approaches to Stop Hypertension. It will lower blood pressure in 14 days. Wonderful suggestions and recipes to go with it. A perfect guide for changing your diet. After conferencing with the dietitian, they decided with the exception of some of her lunch choices (Soup) Mom eats very well. Last night I prepared Wild Alaskan Salmon flown in early in the morning fresh, with organic broccoli and summer squash. We ate on our new plates!





We have a DASH diet for our lives too. But it is called ACTS instead of DASH. Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. This is all part of prayer and ties directly into our guide, the Bible. The Bible contains wonderful suggestions, stories and lessons for your life. ACT upon it and practice daily the ACTS of Prayer.

Off to paint and pray.

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...

I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
