"Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." John 21:22

A Painting a Day: This composition was painted for my summer show in July in Hong Kong at the SR Gallery. Feeling alive and fresh and energizing was important to the final painting. Using contrasting colors for conflict and energy creates a feeling of need to climb into piece and reach out to touch the flowers. Using a wide brush with double loads of paint allows me to obtain a layered blend of colors.

My Thought for the Day:

So as far as you have come in this journey called "Life", have you been truly alive?

We all seem to plan every day and sometimes a week or more before for things to happen on schedule. I believe it gives us a sense of control, but do we really have control? I know I do not. I spend time on schedules and lists, and planning things out. I am loosing quality life time. Who am I living this life for? It is not like I have an audience and this is a performance and each time I can do it better; it is the real thing and every day only comes one time.

In prayer during stressful times you can hear the echo, "God where are you?". What you should be praying is "God, where am I?" Check your schedule, it might tell you... well it should, right?


If you are living and allowing Him to lead you you will be moving through life with His guidance and His blessing. We are all rather hardheaded and we always like to do it our way, so you can be sure I will not be far behind you... I am still learning to live with Him on His terms. Hopefully we will both catch up in the same place at the same time.

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...
