Busy Tuesday for us. FEDEX run as well as grocery shopping. Terry boxed yesterday and I started cleaning house...maybe I will finish today! We did get clean sheets on the bed last night and that always feels good. Today I will do the rest of the wash and finish up the house.

Surprises yesterday arrived, some beautiful crystal dessert bowls from a dear friend. They arrived safely all the way from Australia. I was not expecting them and it is so fun to get unexpected surprises in the mail.

I finished the book that Carol and I have been working on. The name of the show in Jackson is CROSSING PATHS. Carol and I have an ad coming out for the August issue of American Art Collectors. I also ran a half page ad for July too! It is below:




My thoughts today run to not only forgiving people in your life that YOU think did a wrong thing to you or your family, but to stop for a moment and ask someone else for forgiveness for something you did. Often we do not realize how much we might offend or hurt others. We tend to keep track in our busy brains with a list of what they did to us. We could not have possibly done anything to them. When I think of it and who I need to call my gut reaction is, ugh...they will lap up the apology and then kick me in the head again when I turn around. I have a feeling that is not where my thoughts should be. Turning the check and apologizing is where it should be.

It takes two for the misunderstanding and hurt feelings. Be out front today and reflect on situations in your life. Take that HUGE step and call that person or persons and ask for their forgiveness. The feeling of peace that follows is incredible.

Grace,
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...
