The Painting:  A new mix of mediums and exploring new avenues.  This unique first piece pulls in textured fabric papers and layers of acrylic. OH, by the way... check out the Five Graces blog.  http://thefivegraces.blogspot.com or the website: http://thefivegraces.org

Debbie Lincoln is upping the game plan. She is planning on painting 28 horses in 28 days of February. There is another artist doing 100 portraits in 100 days.  Leave me out on that one.  I can't do horses with Debbie doing them in February, I will have to wait and save them... but this would be a good time to consider 28 days of IMPRESSIONS.  I have several folks that have sent me very very darling, cute pictures of their children doing things.  I am going to do Impressions of the Younger Generation.  Send me your ideas for me to paint... I have a blonde favorite playing soccer, I have a young man leading a horse with his sister on the horse, I have quite a few ...so send me your favorite.  I will paint small, so if you want to buy it, this is the time to get something you want painted...  email images to me.  I won't be able to paint them all, but you will see the best of what I can do! hey Deb, horses would be alot easier!!!!  Wanna trade?

The Thought: If you could choose anything for yourself right now, what would you choose?   What would be something that would serve you through out your life in every situation?

Most folks think about 'stuff'... or they think about a far away destination, or even a treasure box full of gold. It is actually all the 'stuff' that keeps us prisoners.  We are a slave to our 'stuff'.   Uncle George called today and he is cleaning out his years and years of career in the art field from his studio area.  He said it was time for he and Aunt Eola to spool down.  Terry laughed and told him we were already trying to do that.  Every time the kids come over they leave with another box of their stuff I have tucked away.  We also had a call that one of the Pace family cousins died. He was in his 80's and was found dead in his home, alone on New Years Day.  One first thought was he was blessed to go so quickly with out illness of cancer or heart problems.  He didn't have to worry about health 'stuff'.

So after reviewing all of this, I would like to choose God.  With God, I am free to be an expression of His gifts and love. If everyone lived with that thought, the world might be a more pleasant place to live.  Can you imagine a peaceful society world wide?  God is within each person and in God there is good.  We need to find that good not only in ourselves but in others around us.

By choosing God, we choose to experience life to it's fullest and with His peace to support us through our journey.

Blessings of Abundance.
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.

'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...
