Monday Monday...it is that day. I am determined to finish wrapping the last four gifts, deliver boxes of books to the town library as donations and finish getting my studio cleaned up today.  I am in search of a new tool box to hold my stuff... a large one on wheels. My wire one on wheels is about dead. I remember when I bought it back in 2003 and was SOO worried because it cost $350 for it at the Container Store. Little did I know it would be worked so hard over the past six years and the little wheels won't stay on it and it leans like a tower bending.  It groans when I pull open the drawers.

Yes, time for a few adjustments here and there and what better time than to be ready for the new year. Shed all of the STUFF that you do not need in 2010. Go through those closets. Throw out the things you have not worn in two years.  Clean out your bathroom cabinets too. We did. Also bought new rugs for the hall bath and it looks pretty nice in there now.  I found out I am bad about NOT throwing away old towels. Terry volunteered to take most to the garage so I am smiling again. 
 
Time to get down to the basics and keep life simple again.

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...
