The Painting: This is a painting rich in life and color. It is painted for a college student and preplanned by the mom to surprise her with it when she comes home. I think it might be birthday/Christmas.

She liked the Autism donation painting so the horse is very similar to that painting from earlier in the summer.

The Thought: This is from my laptop in bed. I am totally not sure what is wrong, but lots of chills and fever. Tylenol is my friend right now. My body aches; some muscles are sore and I think they are sore from shaking with the chills late yesterday.

Forgetfulness is where I am heading today. Our daughter managed on Friday to admit five minutes before we were leaving to drive her to school that she forgot to make a poster board assignment. My question was 'Which is more impt the assignment or not being tardy?' She chose to be tardy and jumped in to get off the internet the info she needed for the poster. She appeared home with it after school still working on it.

She of course had a hundred and one reasons why she forgot it. She had told her Dad the day before she had to do it, but it would not take long. She promptly forgot it totally.

I am an opposite personality. I DO ALL WORK FIRST...even before taking a bathroom break. Must have been something in the way I was raised. I am not sure even that is healthy. Work always comes first before play...and somehow I play very little.

Coming up sick like this presents an opportunity for me to rest and I am going to take advantage of it and truly rest as much as possible. Somehow I need to FORGET the work that awaits me in the studio.

Do you forget things very often? I believe it is easy to drop the ball when you heart is not in the direction of what needs to be done. We are that way with God too. Our hearts are usually going opposite ways than spending time with Him. We put it off; we forget it; we go on with our lives with out Him.

Start your day with Him this morning, don't forget!

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and 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

© +Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG ON INSTAGRAM @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace “I love sleep. 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...
