Well we almost have the Christmas letter ready to email out. Terry has been on the phone collecting missing emails.  I simply did not get to make cards this year and this is what we are doing. The positive thing is there are lots of pictures going out in the letter to friends and family.

Beautiful weather found us delivering the remaining of our bread basket gifts to our friends out in East Texas.  It is fun to go visiting and see all the homes decorated for Christmas.  My favorite was Jacque's old registered prairie farm house. WOW... I need to take the camera with me next time. Tucked in the woods off a country road, it is a living piece of history.

Last night we watched Miracle on 34th Street. Have you seen it this year?  It gets better every time I watch it.  Natalie Wood is an excellent child actress.  Some of the lines you catch and wonder why you never heard them before...and then you laugh like a child enjoying the movie even more.  Truth be told, life can be like that if we could let go of things that tie us to the negative side...and all those loose squirrels running around in our heads.  Simple thoughts and simple abundance seem to be the key.



May this week before Christmas be blessed with quiet moments of reflections strengthening you for 2011. May your shine to be a light to others seeking their way.

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...
