This is the first in my series on my new blog:

Deep within the base is the book of Solomon. Then there
are a few of my favorite words added from old books.
Thirdly there are four layers of paint followed by inks.



This is the first in my Wonders of the Heart Series.

Wonders of the Heart

Caught in the glint of soft light dancing in her eyes
and the half smile breaking across her tender lips
is my heart.

Such is the fullness of my heart's content.



What keeps your heart content? What makes you sigh with contentment as your muscles relax and your eyes close?

In our busy world these moments seem far and in between. Do they truly still exist? Yesterday seemed full of so many new things I was doing. I should have had a clue that things are changing when I was able to clean off all the files piled on my computer desktop screen. Filing things where they should be instead of dropped onto the current clutter. Then I started working on a commission painting and it truly is going in a positive direction. Then I decided to take a break and go a different direction and began to lose myself in thought of what process I wanted to use to create something that made me smile. I am smiling. It is only a first but there has to be a first step before you can take the second, the third or even begin running.

Remember that today... be content in the moment.

Laurie

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4

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.

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...
