Waking up with a massive sinus headache is not my favorite. Unfortunately for many of us living in the DFW area this is common for this time of the year. The ozone levels are level RED which is really really bad. Terry and I were out in it yesterday. We went to Cavanaugh's Flight Museum in Addison. (north Dallas) Sun and wind proved to leave me in bad shape so today will be a dull ache day. Before the Museum we had lunch at Margiano's where Morgan works. The Halibut was fabulous and something I wish they would carry on the main menu. WOW!

I have been working on small pieces for the Dutch Art Gallery Show. Several small 8 x 10's and a 9 x 12. Today I will do a larger piece and they we may print some giclees. I had hopes of a few days off, but with all the shows I do not think this is going to happen. Terry mentioned helping me with house work so I may take him up on that one today.

Yesterday we got pay back! It is was so nice. I am one of those drivers that is friendly in nature. I let people turn out when needed, or let them over if they use a blinker and always take my turn correctly. We missed our turn lane for the restaurant yesterday and Terry had to turn to the right into a gas station and come out on the opposite diagonal to get on the correct street. The problem we faced was the first lane would only put us back right again and we wanted to go straight. This is an intersection by a mall so you know at lunch time traffic is thick. The light was red and cars were piled thickly in long rows except for the TURN RIGHT lane. I heard a light toot of a horn and Terry and I both looked to our left and a work truck full of workers was waving us in, in front of them in the lane we desperately needed. It felt so good to have someone pass on the kindness to us. This is rare in Dallas when driving in traffic to have anyone be nice. We waved and I said a prayer blessing their day for their kindness.

God wants us to pass this goodness on in our day every day. Pass on the caring and the the love. By being so considerate the driver that gave us a break made us feel so good and so relieved. It was a small thing in the scheme of world events, but to us at that moment it demonstrated goodness and kindness. So today see the Christ Presence in others and treat those around you with consideration. Share the best you have of comfort, forgiveness and joy. Whether others grasp the value of your gift now or in the future, their lives have been touched by your loving way and in the sense you are passing on to others the Love of God.

Grace,
Laurie

"They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life."--1 Timothy 6:18-19

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' 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...
