May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. Romans 15: 13


A Painting A Day: Contemporary horses created with layers of palette knife paint, oils and impasto are apart of this painting. This was a commission piece for a very special doctors office opening here in Dallas. Color and energy are all apart of the healing process...waking the body to the "good news" of life through empathetic viewing, as energy passes from the canvas to the viewer.


My thoughts for the day:

The last time I was really sick was about a year ago in February when I had the flu and we had no heat, no hot water, and partial electricity. Go back and read my blogs from then. It was not a pretty thing. Terry would trot off to work as I laid in bed sick, with a space heater in my one little room. I was too sick to even get up to get myself water or food. He would literally leave me with a pitcher next to the bed. I was lacking hope at that time. Seems like when you are sick, that is one of the hardest times to have hope.

What is hope? Hope is defined as the ability to look forward with confidence or expectation.


Everyone needs hope in their life. Every day there are times we feel so hopeless that we cannot react to do anything. Despair begins to creep in. We begin to loose hope. In these economic times many of our friends have lost hope. Our days seem to be filled with hurts, problems, sicknesses, troubles, financial issues, world issues, political issues, bankruptcy etc. Can you rise above it?

Hope is real, and it is something we can give to another person. When you see someone in need suffering from hopelessness, it is time to share the greatness of God and the hope that Jesus offers to all of us. Hope is not something you can see or hear, but you can definitely feel it. Trust in Him. You will face disappointments many times in your life, but He will never disappoint you if you give Him the time to work in His way.

Remember as you pray today, "... those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Share a bit of "hope" with someone today....

"Show me the path where I should walk, O LORD; point out the right road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you." Psalm 25: 4,5

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...
