Leg cramps are driving me crazy at night again. I need to increase my potassium and I need to figure out what it is I am doing that is setting it up. The entire time we were in NY I never had one leg cramp...so do I stop painting? Either has to be the expensive ergonomic chair I sit in or the standing the rest of the day on the brick floors. If you have a clue, let me know! I told Terry that this was my quest over the next few days to solve this mystery so I could sleep through the night with out the sudden cramping pain.

On another level I know God is trying to tell me something and if I don't figure it out something worse will happen. So this is my quest. Being spiritual aware of His presence in my life, I know there are things before me I simply do not see. Transformations take place and we stay ignorant of what is happening unless we become aware of His touch. Has to do with our obsessive need to be in control of our plans. Making lemonade out of lemons is something I learned from my mother. It is essential to our well being to not allow negativity to draw us down. The best is bring into your life people and experiences that encourage you to share the Spirit that is within you. Opportunities abound through out the day, but if you are like me, your head is not always where it should be.

Take the time today to connect with others. Appreciate the God and the good in the other people you share with today. Take extra care to try and find out something new about someone you think you know well today. You might be pleasantly surprised. We all hide many things inside and we do not share them with the world. Heck, why not do something unexpected today and out of your comfort zone....be brave. Do something today you have always wanted to do but never thought you could or should. I have a list of want to dos.

Hi Laurie,
I bought one of those rubber mats that chefs use to stand on in front of my easel and no more leg or back pain!!! I think they are called gel mats or something like that...google chef gel mat maybe.

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here  to see pricing and painting. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Pace Studio  Graphics One Design My Blog          My Website          Gicl...

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...
