The Painting: This is similar to one that I sold this week. It is a second huge painting of thickly applied Holbein Duo Oils in gorgeous roses.

The Thought: Well Mr Truck was up and running and Terry drove it to work. It sounds about 2 years younger at least. Perhaps we might have replaced the waterpump before? I don't think so... I think they just give up. Other than a sore body from the contortions he made while fixing it, he is a happy camper.

This was my second morning on the Wii fit. The first day I did 1 hour of exercising. I hurt so bad the next two days I didn't do anything. This morning I got up early and worked out doing yoga, Aerobics and running. It takes 45 min to do 30 min of exercising. At least I am in the normal range...altho it is up at the border on the BMI. I hope to try and get it 30-45 min at least 5 days a week. My oldest daughter allowed me to borrow her Wii fit. Maybe someone will think about that for my birthday. Yes that is next month, or actually in about three weeks.

Keeping fit for the body is a challenge as we grow older. The body creaks and aches a bit more when you over do it. Seems like keeping fit in my faith and walk with the Lord comes easier as I get older. I feel more relaxed and less pressured by go go go and do do do. It become less important at times to push myself...I stop and breath and take the time to think before reacting.

How is your "keeping fit" with God? It has to be more than five times a week for sure. He is a constant for you... realize that this moment.

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...

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...
