 Mak is here painting for the week.  Sunflowers tonight.




The Painting:  Fun with colors again and this one zings.   The free looseness of color and brush ring out expressively.

The Thought:   I remember in childhood days for running free or riding my bike as hard as I could, feeling free and able to race the wind.  Then there was the day I was in my head in that "free" zone that I literally ran my bike into a parked car bumper from the bike side.  I bounced off pretty darn hard a bit dazed.  My front fender was bent on my bike and my knee had jammed tightly, but I was able to jump back on and ride the rest of the way home.

I think we get there in life too.   We are cruising along feeling like the top of the world and WHAM...something happens that throws us into a tail spin.  You never can predict these things.  When things are really going good sometimes you don't want to talk about it because you might jinx it.  

The best thing to do is to remember the plan is already in motion and what is to be will be.  Live today and this moment doing the absolute best you can.  Don't worry about the pitfalls and the blows from out of the blue, because God will be there with you every step of the way.  


He already knows what is ahead of you, so trust. Trust in His plan and do it His way.  I still ride a bike!

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”- 2 Peter 1:5-8

I think your flowers are as exciting as your horses. I do intend to own a piece of your artwork someday.

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.

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...
