Passing the Good

We are traveling again...in Dallas for the weekend and dear Carol is house sitting and caring for the dogs.  We  love Carol! So do Paddy and Annie. 

We stopped at Whole Foods on Friday to shop for Mom who is on a 10 fibers a day diet.  Of course we picked up the things WE are not suppose to eat....
and we came across TOMMY... really Tommy in person.  I had seen this man standing behind one of those food things they have set up giving out samples.  Made me wonder because he did not have on the typical apron the servers usually have on.  When we made our third pass by him Terry stopped to try out the food he had there... SALSA!!!  TRULY REALLY TRUE and really VERY good!



Those of you that read my blog realize I am huge into natural foods and stay away from additives, nitrates, msg, high in sodium products and no processed meats etc.  Tommy's products are all natural, reflecting his upbringing in Austin with parents that cooked this way at home.

Once I am home I will try and add a link to his site on my blog...but meanwhile...go visit it and find the store in your area, or order from his site.  TRUE TEXAS HOME MADE SALSA.  Meeting him in person made it even more delightful knowing he is the one that made the salsa we were tasting and buying.  We picked up some of the meat rubs and after we use them this week I will report on those as well.


I realized today that my studio and teaching started in 1982 and next year I will have been doing this for 30 years. Seeing a person jump out there to start a business like this is so appreciated as I know the journey is different for all of us, but equally as satisfying if you are following your true path. 

I wish Tommy well with this venture and truly encourage you try out his Texas Salsa.  Meanwhile... we are enjoying time with grandson Jonathan and his birthday and seeing Lady L again and in all the eating we are enjoying two of Tommy's salsas... YUMM!

'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...

Line Shape Form and SPACE, the fourth element of Art by Texas Art Teacher Laurie Pace.

Line Shape Form Space Frank Lloyd Wright said:      "Space is the Breath of Art." By definition:   Space is an element of art; space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. With little ones we always have donut day when I teach space...but we cannot do that over the internet.  So I took up my pencil and looked around the studio. I spotted first one of my stools in the studio... so I quickly shaded in the space around it.  Then the coffee cup holding my hot tea.... and then just a jack that was sitting on the table. (More of my work further down in the blog.) So how can you turn this into art that it works in a composition? Here is an example by M C Esher.  ...
