I cannot believe it is Friday. I cannot believe I worked until eleven last night and I am up at six a.m. Not sure where the days go. Yesterday we went to Mt. Pleasant with the truck. I followed in my Passat.  Mr Truck is back from the "Put the bumper back on - fix the dent in the fender - replace the broken windshield -replace the shattered side-mirror place" and now at the interior repair shop.  This brought back memories of my grandmother and mother helping my brother restore the seats and interior on his bug eye Sprite.  The beauty of all of their sewing finished out a gorgeous car. 


This shop brought back all those memories.  Alan Braddock Interiors.   It is an old-fashioned shop in the middle of Mt Pleasant that was started back in the early sixties by the original owner and now his son, who must be in his late forties, runs the shop. First the smell of leather, then the tables with large sewing machines and tons of fabrics.  Craftsmanship seems to be the key and quality and customer happiness is a must.  Mr Truck will be there until mid week next week...then maybe vacation?  

It was 107 today here. Extremely hot. Last night about 10 there was lightening and rain for just a few moments...mainly sheet lightening. Not enough moisture to even put anything in the rain gauge.


God has a plan and I know His way is the best...even with the heat.  (At the interior shop Lea, the office manager, mentioned someone confided in her that the farmer's almanac predicted temps in the mid eighties by mid month August.)  Meanwhile I am confident He is at work in me, as I struggle to become studied in His word and committing daily to His walk and His ways.  I fail everyday, but each morning like this when I get up, I know the chance is here to ask forgiveness, pray more, focus more and prioritize as He would desire me to.

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”- Psalm 119:130

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' 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...
