Yesterday I first heard from Judy Mackey in Southlake, Texas.... "It is raining here."
I replied, "Short hard rain, or long slow rain?"
She answered back, "Looks like on and off rainy day maybe, lots of dark clouds."


About an hour later Debbie Lincoln phoned from Morgan Mill, west of Southlake... "Hey it's cooler here..."
I replied, "How cool is cooler?"
She answered back, "It is only 97 degrees outside."


Lord, Please it is time to release us from this heat wave. The entire month of August has been 100 degrees or more. 

My day yesterday was a catch up day anyway.  I continued to remind myself to give Thanks for all my blessings, including the 'redos' popping up in my life.  Do you have any of those?  Things you have done, but someone wants it redone? Some of you may call them "fix its".  Kids are good at asking for fix its.  Adults are more prone to ask for redos. I have canvas that undergo 'redo's'. Sometimes those sell for more than the freshly painted ones.


Got to thinking if I ever ask God that question.  "Lord, you are the Almighty and the Creator of all, I praise your works with every breath and ask your forgiveness for what I have done.  May I have both your forgiveness and a 'redo'?" Is that laughter from Heaven I hear?


"Lord, I give you my heart with all that I do, just this once may I have a redo? Whether it is my error or their error, please open the hearts of all involved and let us begin again."

Take a breath today and meditate before you start off the day. He is there waiting to hear from you.  Hey, you might get lucky and be allowed a 'redo'. 

Make sure you read the verse today.  I know I have told you before that I write this blog first, and then I go to a bible site and copy and paste the verse that is there for the day.  Lately the match up has been only His Work.  "He heard my cry for mercy (A redo)."

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.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. 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

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. 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...
