The Painting: I took progressive shots of this painting. If you decide to offer for it and buy it, I will create a special collectors book to go with it. Soft wide brush and Holbein Duo Oils.

The Thought: Okay you are going to see raw intimate details.... have you ever heard the expression you are what you eat? Here is what is in my refrigerator:

First shot inside my frig. Three types of cheese from Whole Foods, Cottage cheese (Lactose free) Celery, Olives, Carrots, butter, tortillas (Corn) Onions, etc

Second shot inside my frig. This one is harder to see

Top shelf are eggs, Terry's buttermilk, two flavors of fat free yogart Stonyfield, Real

Lemonaide (also Terry's)

Second Shelf is lettuce, asparagus (fresh waiting to be cooked) Left over Carrots,

Cantaloupe, leftover casserole, a container of cut up fruits and melons, flour,

more yogart, shredded cheese...
In the drawers I didn't photograph are apple and pears to the right and in the left one, red potatoes and squash.

What I didn't shoot was the Christmas Candy... ugh. Why did I buy it? Total temptation. Meanwhile yesterday, I raided the frig most of the day eating olives, carrots and a cheese cube here and there. I baked a mid-size red potato for lunch and I had eggs for breakfast with fresh sourdough bread.

So how do I size up if I am what I eat? Except for the two snagged York Mint Patties, I do pretty well. I only drink water or fresh teas that I brew each morning. No sweet drinks or sodas.

If you are what you eat, you can definitely say this is true about prayer to God. You are what you pray ....if you are leaning toward self centered needs, your supplications out weigh your thanksgivings and your adoration. Think about your personal intake and out take on God and prayer... you are what you pray. Give Him praise, Give Him Thanks...confess your short comings and sins, and then go for the supplications and requests. AND don't just concentrate on your needs but the needs of those around you too.

I am sure you don't like it when a child whines at you all day asking for everything under the sun... most of us like to hear Thank you or Hey Mom you are really special to think of that for me...

So I think I am what I eat and I am what I pray....

How about 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...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

© +Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG ON INSTAGRAM @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace “I love sleep. 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...
