The Painting: A play on color values of blues and turquoise. Then add fun fillies to the mix and you have Rain in the East. It was a rainy morning yesterday and that inspired this painting.

The Thought: Appearances are deceiving. I was surprised to hear a friend of almost 18 years say something that surprised me to the point of thinking "what'? Relationships always seem to require a give and take on both parties. If balances are not maintained then the relationship fails. Time and experience is what normally strengthens relationships. The more time thrown into the mix, the stronger the feelings... feelings of love or feelings of distrust. Time proves all with people in our lives.

Terry and I have to reflect and pray about something in our lives over the next 24 hours. It is something that affects the rest of our lives and is important. Yesterday was nothing short of chaos...definitely not of God or it would not reflect the continual shifting and changing in so many uneasy directions. We are afraid of failing not only ourselves but those that we cherish and love. While we would give to our last breath, there are those who would not...those are the ME people..."what's in it for me?"

I feel selfish right now, but I believe we are about at that point. We simply want some time to live life and enjoy it... to find a sense of less stress and simply our lives. If you have the answer, email me... I would love to hear it. I have to turn back to what a good friend pointed out last year to me... let it all go. Let Him do it. In His Time. Actually how about HIS IN TIME ... the acronym HIT... it's definitely a HIT... His In Time. He is never late.

“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”- 1 Peter 3:15

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...

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...
