The Painting:  Okay, it is rare. I do not paint cows often. Sometimes I get into this thing that I want to paint stuff like everyone else paints.  It is on those days the brushes groan as I take them in hand, the music changes in the studio and I work on staying loose on a 6 x 6 inch panel with a YIKES ...Tiny Brush.

The Thought: Last year at this time I began to pray for simple abundance.  It was a campaign mantra to the Lord that I prayed day and night.  Believing that He will provide exactly what you need, you will find yourself in a surplus situation. 

Yesterday in my email a good friend from Detroit forwarded this:

"On this day of your life, dear friend, I believe God wants you to know......that there's more where that came from. This is a key teaching; a most important message. The goodness of the Universe is not limited. When something "looks as if" it is running out, do not fret. This, or something better, is on its way.  Sufficiency is the natural order of things. Good never runs out -- although it may change form."
 Neale Donald Walsch


I found his words pretty powerful.  There are times right now that Terry and I are scrambling to cover medical bills or education loans but it always seems to work out. Trying to predict what is ahead is totally impossible.  What I can predict is GOD IS HERE and He is not going anywhere.  What we think is needed for sufficiency in our lives is definitely NOT what He is looking at for us.  We must be ready to start living.

Take a chance, LIVE today.  Believe in Simple Abundance.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. 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...
