The Painting: I finished this painting adding in the dark shadows that were lacking in the first image shot I took of this. Again it will be at the Dutch Art Gallery for the upcoming show.

The Thought: Everything we read in life leaves some type of impression on us. Heck, everything we watch leaves some time of impression on us as well. In times past the written word was something special shared to pass down between generations, often stories and parts of history keeping alive through the sharing of the written word from family to family.

The legacy of the past written in hand word by word is something cherished. Do you realize most of our students in high school cannot write cursively? When did this happen? They cannot even read handwriting in cursive. I can only speak for myself, but I still write in cursive and take pride in penmanship as I do. When I am writing in my journal or writing correspondence, it is written with time and love woven through every stroke. The motion enables me to concentrate on the phrasing and wording and what I am trying to communicate.

The Bible is a beautiful example of collected words, phrases and stories of old pulled together in a book of God's best work. From it we have the guide for our lives. Paul writes about this in Romans, "the Scriptures give us patience and encouragement so that we can have hope."Romans 15:4

One day this week forget about the television. Spend time reading the Bible and some of your favorite literature. Pick up your pen and start a journal. Begin your legacy of life by setting this example in your own family. Write notes for those that you love and tuck them into their wallets or purses...Hand write those notes, do not text them. Part of the love is in the physical writing of the thought...taking Pen to Hand and then to paper to express what needs to be written.

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...
