The Painting: This one is still trying to dry. I painted it last week before I got sick. I love this approach to the canvas. I literally pull paint and turn the canvas once. Pull more paint and turn it again. It revolved around in several circles as I pull patterns of colors on it and from there the horses begin to appear. Painted with Holbein Duo Oils on two inch thick canvas, 20 x 20 inches in size.

The Thought: The dramatics of a female teenager in the house are cause to pause and generally bring hidden smiles and laughter. Things that would have sent us over the edge ten years ago finds us chuckling together at night. With the response of ANNOYING for everything wrong with her chemistry teacher we had her brainstorm alternatives including just throwing in the towel and getting her GED.

I was genuinely impressed by the structure and helpful aids that the chemistry teacher provided. She wants all notes in class taken only on the right side of the binder pages. The opposite left side is to be left open to help you at study time. Draw pictures here, make word games to memorize facts, complete smaller outlines to test yourself. The left side if FREE for you. The only rule is NOTES only on the right side. We still cannot figure out why that is so difficult to understand. There were things to glue in as examples of HOW to study for those that do not have a developed learning style.

Our suggestion was that she reconstruct the notebook for this six weeks. Hers is a MESS. It is also a grade she needs more than a zero on.

God gives us chance after chance after chance to get it right. He too provides a certain framework of structure in our 'notebook' and sets out expectations for us. We have that "left" side of the page to go crazy, follow our own plans and make decisions; permanent is what He writes as the WAY on the right side of the notebook.

Are you doodling too much on that left side of the book? Take time today to shift to the right....pick up the Bible and read the word...His Word. It is all there for us; everything we want to learn is there. Everything we need for a peaceful happy life is there. Open your heart and let it be filled.

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...
