This painting was completed over weeks and literally weeks with much layering. Last night I finished the Collector Book that goes with it. It is a hardback book with pictures from the start to the finish of the painting as it is created. Most collectors love the books as much as their paintings!

I guess we are all collectors in some way or another. Some folks collect coins; some collect books; some collect stamps.... and we could list things forever. What makes collecting so important? What do we seem to value in collecting things?

I am thankful for people who collect art. With out those collectors I would be doing something else. Terry says having your 'stuff' around you is a comforting thing. As we age we begin to learn what is important to keep and what means the most to have around us.

I collect books and some art pieces from fellow artists. I use to collect cups and saucers, but realized about three years ago there was no reason to be doing it any more. Terry and I have downsized quite a bit and those collections have not place in our household anymore.

A good friend was trying to show off her new KINDLE. I do not think I could go there. Maybe a few books on one, but to give away all the collections of books I have... I don't think so. There is something special about holding a book and turning the pages. I especially feel that way about my bible... all of my bibles. There is one here next to me, one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. There are more...but those are the main ones.

True comfort for me comes in reading His word. We are collectors of His Word. We are receivers of His Grace and Abundance. His Comfort surrounds and uplifts our family.

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...
