The Painting: REDS and BLACKS. The youngest daughter asked why I had not painted a black horse. I really didn't think I was in the mood for this as I was leaning to a dapple gray myself... but the strong red background and I knew only a black steed could hold up against it.

The Thought: Abundance in food. Have you ever noticed in restaurants they always give you twice what you need to eat? It is not quite enough for two people to eat, but darn close.

We went out to eat at Rockport off Preston and Forest. It used to be Main Stream, our favorite fish place to eat. BUT now it is a Rockport Fish place. Terry had Salmon and I had Maui Maui... we feasted on potatoes and fresh veggies too. The chef brought us out some sweet potato things too and they were really really good. Since it was my birthday week, we had key lime pie that was incredible. So much for painting today.... at least the food was in abundance.

We had exercised walking the mall in the morning and we started our Christmas shopping. It is that time of the year... and our family exchanges names. Terry has Larry's name. I have Tara's name. We did Larry already, but not Tara yet. Heck I am still working on Birthday week...

Think about the abundance of food in your life. Try eating half of what you normally would... good way to loose weight. Share an entree with your dining partner and just order an extra salad. That works too.

I can't wait to see what today will bring....

Happy eating... in abundance.

Abundance is good.

Laurie

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

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...
