"I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord." 1 Corinthians 7:35

Okay I had to get some pink flamingos out of my system. The Florida Tourist folks have a WONDERFUL commercial out about visiting the state and this scene with thousands of pink flamingos flashes by on a soft yellow background.... and wow. Drove me crazy the first time I saw it... at dinner during the news. Then again the next night and the next night and by golly I had to paint pink Flamingos. Consider yourself PINKED. I had fun painting it and probably no one wants to buy pink flamingos....but if you do, contact me! Meanwhile it will hang in my garden room and I will sit back with a cool glass of water and have dreams of Florida where I spent my honeymoon.

Sitting back to dream on my flamingos reminds me that we each have the choice to determine how we view the world with all its complexities. It is a mini vacation staring at my pink babies. The real world is fraught with difficulties and pain. Many times if you are like me, you wonder how anything positive could come out of some of the worst situations...and then remember that anything is possible with God. His spirit is in every situation, every person and every circumstance.

Turning into Him provides you with pure energy and the knowledge you will never be forgotten or abandon by Him, as He is constant. Quiet your racing thoughts and listen. Divine Order, HIS divine order is moving through you right now.

Seek your balance today.... in Him.

Hi Laurie. I love your pink flamingos. Flamingos are at the same time graceful and comical...kind of like giraffes. They're an under appreciated bird. On behalf of the flamingo-lovers of the world, thank you.

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...
