The Painting: This is from my archives from 2005. I painted this weekend, but this next week I will be taking a break from the studio. I have several large commission pieces I will start and I do not want to waver from working on them....and try and do small things just to post. So I will comb through the back files and put up different images of past work.

The Thought: Today for me will be a day of centering.... centering in absolute peace and acknowledging that GOD is indeed in charge of this day, this week, this month, this year and my life. There are storms raging around me both in the weather and in my own family; there is another missed vacation this week due to weather and family. Yet I know deep inside of me is a place of peace that I can go to and 'float' in calm waters.... waiting for the storms to pass over or die out.

That peace is in each of us despite the squirrels running around in our heads. Conflict, fear, anger and failure cannot touch those calm waters. Acknowledge them and then let them go and release them by moving to a quieter place inside of you. Heck, I am working on 18 months without a decent break from working in my studio. I have literally done two single days trips over an 18 month period for enjoyment. Talk about burn out... I have it major.

There is a part of me that is untouched and unfazed by my conflict, I just need to go there and allow myself to heal in the stillness. It is there I will find His Peace. It is there I will absorb and fill my mind, soul and body with His spirit and tranquility.

May you be blessed to find your inner peace this day.

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...

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...
