The Painted Pony

There are many neat gifts to consider!

The Painting: I have just finished this painting and will be using the image on my Christmas Cards. Yes I am late, but I have high hopes...maybe New Years Cards? I was inspired by the falling snow outside yesterday...yes, Dallas had snow but nothing stuck...just flurries and it was beautiful. I was not used to driving in the snow and having it fall into the front of the windshield...that was weird while driving.

The Thought: Much has been rolling around in my mind the past 24 hours and inspired by a quote sent by a friend. I may share more on that tomorrow, but right now I am in a study reflect mode as I stay in constant conversation with God realizing again how much I have tried to control things that I should not be controlling. As long as I am at the reins on this horse, it will go the direction I prefer and not the direction God intends... altho I do believe He tends to draw that horse a bit on to a different path, trying to save me from myself and going over a cliff.

It is truly not difficult to over think a situation and convince ourselves that we must control something. I am the world's best at that practice. It is easy. I am sure you do it daily as well. As you make decisions today, ask God first and stop and reflect and listen. That is what I will be doing today, listening.

My dear friend, you are one with God every moment of the day. You belong to Him. You are never alone, even in your darkest most desperate moment. The Spirit is within you at all times, guiding and protecting you. The Spirit gives you strength.

His Peace Today...to you. His strength supports you.

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...
