Yes, I know I am late posting. But below is yesterday's painting finished!! And above the one I was working on this morning that is almost finished.




Yesterday Terry finished up sheet rock in our bedroom where last March the electrician had blasted through to rewire the house. It has been a long time coming to get that completed. Still needs one more coat of paint, but last night he and I worked dusting and cleaning the bedroom so we could fall into bed! Still need to clean the fan AND the upper deck/loft is FULL of dust from sanding. Next will be the other ten places that need to be finished up!

Morgan was over yesterday too, and he hung lights in the garden room for the holidays. I may leave them up as they are white lights and very pretty how he did them. I attempted to take pictures but my camera can't quite capture them at night and when you flash you can't tell it at all. Tonight I may try and take pictures at sunset when it is just started to grow dark outside.

Harmony is something we need to aim for in our lives today. The economy continues to sink faster and faster every day. I am beginning to wonder if we will have anything left in our retirement. I was not worried before but I am getting there now. I seek harmony in my own life right now and know it is essential to apply that in my life even if I have to make changes. First I need to be open and receptive to God so that He fills me with what I need for the day. As I branch into my work and play today I shall carry with me that "oneness" with Him. God will guide my words and actions through out this day as I seek a continuous peaceful day with those around me.

It is important to pray for harmony for the world. It is through the belief of peace and love that will bring changes to our economy and our lives. So many of the generation just behind me and that of my children have so much to learn as to saving, not spending and realizing that instant gratification is not apart of the new world that appears to be emerging as the housing situation craters, banks close, auto makers beg (don't start me there as we took a 25% cut in salary and benefits five years ago and we only make what we did in 1991), and in whole most folks are beginning to feel surly about the future. Hard to think positively and live in harmony, but we must at this time TRUST and make the best of what we have.

Be Thankful and Live in Harmony.

Joy and Abundance,
Laurie

Laurie, I love the colors in these two recent paintings, I hope you pursue more like these as I think they are quite wonderful and have a delicate quality.

I have "tagged" you, see my blog entry for details. You don't have to participate but it's kind of fun.

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

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...
