These three horses speak to me of Family. As Terry and I wait in quiet anticipation for Lauren Gracen to be born into our family, we remember and celebrate how Adam and Eve must have felt when they created their first child and Eve gave birth to Cain. God's creating continued...He only let us believe He was done....and today He is still at work 24/7.

It is His divine process that makes conception and birth possible. We always think of this happening involving the creation of this child due to the parents, but it was the third presence of God that truly made it all possible. This child grows up as all children do, learning to be independent; yet always with this child is the indwelling spirit of God.

Celebrate Family today. Call someone you love and tell them something special you remember from earlier years. If you call mom or dad, remember something really special they did for you in your lifetime that might have made you who you are today. If you call a sibling, remember some childhood moments you shared that made life extra special.

As I reflect back, I remember a grandmother that put her love in caring for all of us. Her delicious home made caramel rolls, fresh rolled out egg noodles and the times she would read to me from the book , "The Secret Garden". Grandma was always quilting and sewing too. (If you are a blog reader, remember the green polyester robe I kept for 40 years?) From my Mom I remember her singing and bringing the joy of music into my life sharing her gifts and providing me with lessons for the piano. For my Dad, he was always working. From him came my sense of strength to go after what I believed in life and to never give up. If you keep working at it, you will get there. My older brother, gee, he used to make me play army men and managed to always direct me to sit somewhere ...in the ant piles. My younger brother, well, Mom had him for me and no one else. He was mine to love and care for. My best friend had a little brother too, and we took them everywhere. It was nice once I could drive, Mom would always give me the car if I took my little brother with me. My St Louis Family, home, laughter, love and the smell of Dial soap from my aunt and uncle's downstairs shower. OH, and as I have shared with Terry, the wonderful bakery goods from a bakery in South St Louis. Eating a piece of coffee cake full of icing and still mounding butter on it with my knife. Family, ah the memories..... thank you God.

Joy and Abundance,

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' 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...
