"And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." Matthew 15:27

There is a terrific new set of artists that invited me to be apart of their postings for Dog paintings. The blog is www.dogartistsunited.blogspot.com. I was thrilled to be included in this group and "wowed" by the artists participating. When you have time, visit and see some new teriffic dog art.

George Eliot wrote: "We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment."


One thing about dogs is how they love us unconditionally. Those big eyes staring at you when you are sitting there watching TV, or when you are eating and they are parked next to the chair watching your hand move from the plate on the table to your mouth. Yes they are there, abundant with their unconditional love.

Dogs allow you to release stress. You can do this just by petting them. They can handle problems too; when you need to talk, they do not interupt you. As you let off steam and discuss the events of the day...they listen. They turn their little heads cocking them at an angle back and forth trying desperately to understand what you are saying to them. Dogs have a positive outlook... they could teach us so much.

Dogs are referred to as man's best friend. We rely on them to protect us, serve us and entertain us. They reflect to us the heart of their creator. They are always oblivious to our faults and love us despite them all. God seems to love us despite our faults too. God's love for us is unchanging...just like our dog's love for us.

Person by person and dog by dog...prayer by prayer... it is a better world, abundant with love.

Find a dog to pet today.

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...
