The Painting: THICK paint again this day with this contemporary sunrise off the cliffs.  I love the boats, and the play of the houses on the hillside.

The Thought: Sometimes trying to stay harmonious with life is not easy.  Keeping balance in shaky situations calls for flexibility.   Dealing with a teenager in high school is not my favorite. They dance around everything when it comes to school and they avoid the subject like the plague changing subjects faster than you can swivel your head.

Terry and I are polishing off our old dance shoes. It has been 10 years since we had one in high school. I am about 10 pounds heavier too...but ya know.. I can still think faster and I am 10 years wiser today than I was back then.

SO I am finding at the times I feel that energy lagging I have to turn to my reservoir energy within me. Prayer is part of this and spending quiet moments meditating and praying keeps not only my teenager in safe hands, but it keeps me in harmony with the world.

Stay centered today in everything you face.... keep life in perspective.

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.

'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...
