The Painting: This sums it up... looking up for the New Year and what is too come.  Searching for my highest good.

The Thought: Do you know your highest good?  Despite all the electronic gadgets we have, do we actually know our own highest good?  We track each other around by cell phone all day texting or talking;  we use navigational aids to find our destination and plot our best route.

Yesterday I spent three hours at two different Verizon stores getting Crystal's phone fixed.  A new one is on the way, but we had to fight our way through technology and a long waiting game at the second Verizon store. We got Ben updated with a new phone today too.  He had one of those hot battery things going. That is never good. 

What do we have to figure this out in our journey of life?
There is no road map. There is not path that has been traveled before for our journey. God is the ONLY all knowing when is comes to our highest good.  Time to tune in through prayer and heart to heart guidance from the Big Guy.  He is all nowing and only His guidance system will lead you in the direction you need to be.  Many times you encounter things you do not anticipate along the way, but eventually if you are listening, He leads you to your destination...and your highest good.

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...
