The Painting: Well, it is not quite done, but I am posting it since it is 90% at this point. It will be at the show in April so if you are interested,... now is the time to contact Pam to purchase it so it is marked SOLD as the show opens! She does the absolute best custom framing in the southwest... and a Berle wood frame would look stunning on this painting.

The Thought: A Girl's Best Friend... that is an open statement. I remember lying in bed this morning praying so hard begging God to hear my frustrations and supplications...as I recalled all the greatness in Him. He is the Problem Solver. He is the Father that watches over. He is the Grand Planner. He is the Wise Counsel. He is my Father. He is my Best Friend.

There is much on our plate to handle in the next three weeks as we have a working contract on our home and will be moving the first part of April. We did not anticipate this so soon. Terry has not been released to even return to work to begin the retirement process. We are doing paperwork right and left between the house contracts, loan contracts, and retirement paperwork. Hours on the phone and still frustration with living at the bottom of a hill in Dallas where the phone connection and internet are not very strong despite me paying extra money for fast hook up. It all complicates the process.

I think I will be humming an old favorite, "lean on me..."

Who is your best friend in life?

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...
