The Painting: This is another small piece of one of the little girls above in my header on the blog. The family went to Ireland this summer.... I love painting these little miniatures.

The Thought; I may have to be thoughtless today... no sleep, sick husband. He was up and down all night coughing, wheezing etc. He has had a sore throat and I got meds from Northlake Health Food Store for that... but now the chest is involved. I started him on Mucenix ( I think I spelled that wrong) this morning at 5 am. SOOO... not much in my head today, my eyes keep nodding off if I sit longer than 10 minutes.

I am in prayer for the those in Haiti. That includes all the support and relief groups dedicating their time and concern as well as those that have been on ground zero where the earthquake occurred. The world seems so much smaller these days with the internet and tv news. Everything unfolds before us in an instant and we are wisk to that very place. God has a good plan, it is His plan and He knows what will be; so when things happen to us, it is how we react and deal with these things that determines our growth as believers. God is moving and unfolding His plan all around us, just as a painter does on a canvas. He is after all the Great Creator and Head Artist of All. His brushstrokes can change the composition of our lives in a single breath.

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...
