What is that noise? Yesterday Terry called to me to hurry up as we needed to walk down the street to see what all the noise was. I hurried to the coat closet for my mid weight jacket and my long knit scarf Kimberly Conrad made me two years ago... Kimberly I still love it... and headed out the door to catch up with him. We walked south up our street which is a hill and saw quite a few trucks gathered at the top on our little one car only road. There were chain saws buzzing and men having a heated discussion as our neighbor, who is on the architectural committee asked them to cease. They did not have a building permit.

We literally had the fear put into us NOT to do anything with out approval and a building permit from our home owners association. We always obey the rules. After visiting with them we found out they were dozing most of the trees on the lot to build some huge 5000 sq foot home on the lake there. I am glad it does not obstruct our view but it will be way out of character for the houses around here. It also means the next four months of building trucks up and down the roads tearing them up.

It took me a long time to realize that we should be living with much less. Why do we still tend to cling to over sized homes filled with STUFF? Could you give it all up if you were asked to go and serve the Lord? You will one day. With every box we go through and pitch stuff I feel less pressure.

Yesterday I put the final coat of varnish on the image above and then had to sand and strip a canvas. It was the large sunflower painting I had been working on in December. I was not happy then with some of the movement or color and the collector agreed. I took out my sand paper and sanded it and gessoed it. Then I re drew the composition and began working on the background. I stopped about 8 last night as I was pretty tuckered. It was a long long day.

I pray this finds you well and avoiding the flu and pneumonia. On of our sons has pneumonia right now, the baby's father. OH the baby... here is a new photo for her. She is ready to role in her Tinkerbell hotwheel. She has her windblown hair and her snazzy blue sunglasses. God is good, all the time, God is good.

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and painting.

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...

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...
