We slept well last night but tired thoughts linger before we get on the road in a few moments. Thought I would have to go buy a hair brush.  LAST trip to NY I forgot my hairbrush.  Must be something psychological about this.  But in the middle of the night I did one of those Sesame Street things were I though back over all my motions before we left and found it this morning.  

We spent the night in Cookeville TN at a brand new Marriott Fairfield Inn. New rooms and beds never used before. That does not happen very often.  Not sure what our stop over will be tonight...but it will probably be in Pennsylvania.

Made the mistake of eating at Cracker Barrel.  We won't do that again on this trip. TOO rich. Our diets have changed so much and that was way rich.  I had two eggs and part of a pancake and that was too much. Poor Terry had chicken and dumplings.  PLUS veggies and many biscuits with gravy or honey.  

Dinner was in the car and it was cheese, ritz crackers and fresh organic plums.  Oh and one potty Stop where he picked up a mocha coffee.

The truckers are dangerous....did take pictures of one that was ALL over the hwy.  Tell me again why we didn't fly? God was so good last night to ease my racing mind and allow me a good 8 hours of sleep. I am hoping Terry is feeling awake for the drive today. We did close to 640 miles.

It was too late last night to upload some photos of the trip. Am testing out the new camera a high speeds you might say.

God bless you in this day.

I looked at your work yesterday and was so happy to have found a painter with a contemporary style. I was beginning to think my contemporary approach was out of whack. Your painting yesterday was beautiful as is todays. So glad to meet you. You're quite an inspiration.

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

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...
