I know I wrote about the donut hole not too long ago.  That is where you focus on what is not there instead of what is there.  When we focus on what we lack we become very hollow inside and we feel defeated and at a complete loss.  The importance is in acknowledging the 'donut' or the real things in your life that are there now.   We are all blessed to live our lives in abundance.  Our main problem is focusing on the missing things or our perceived holes in our lives.

Take a deep breath today and remind yourself you are full of the spirit.  You are blessed with His love and then let Him know how grateful you are for the things you do have right now.  You have exactly what you are suppose to have...enjoy it. Don't waste your thoughts on what you believe you are missing because you don't need it or you would have it.

On the positive donut side, I have a new tool box.  I promise to take pictures. We bought it late yesterday but could not unload it in the rain. Hopefully today we will do it. It replaces my wire basket thing and it is strong and rolls where ever I need it.  So today I will be moving it into the studio and beginning sketches on the 5 ft by 5 ft painting for my Arizona collector.  Also will try to finish up my plans for my upcoming workshop.  I think I will have one here in Mt Vernon and one at Dena Wenmoh's Ranch at the Bunkhouse.   Dallas is still not ruled out either. Eventually there will be two or three guest rooms right here at the lake in our home and you will come here to work in my studio with me.    Again if you have not emailed me to let me know you want the schedule, do so now. Email me that you are interested in receiving the workshop information.  Email here


OH yes, stop by the CFAI site and see the final work posted for the December Art Challenge. The winners will be up by January 1st.

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...
