Topsy Turvy with this one.  I have painted two 'roll overs' in the past ten years. This is another expression of FREEDOM!

While I write about diet all the time... I will veer away from that.   But did you know that birth control by pill was approved by the FDA and it was released to the public in 1960?  One of the 'out of the box' things from the sixties. 

The population at that time was  179,979,000. 
Today it is  over 314 million.  Don't think those pills worked. We have not quite doubled in population.

Our  national debt was 286.3 billion in 1960. 
Today at the writing of this blog it is $17,573,178,726,315.34. Well, we have really stepped up the national debt WAY our of reach.  Here is a site with the Debt Clock. Do not think ANYTHING worked to stop the national debt. This is shameful.

They did have headlines back then:
1. Adolph Coors III, the chairman of the board of the Coors Brewing Company, is kidnapped, and later found murdered.
2. The Soviet Union shoots down an American U-2 spy plane and captures its pilot, Francis Gary Powers.
3.  Fidel Castro nationalizes all American and foreign-owned property in Cuba
4.  Over 1000 Cuban refugees per week begin arriving in Florida fleeing Castro's rule

In medical:  Dr. Michael Woodruff carries out the first successful kidney transplant in the United Kingdom

In books:  D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover is found not guilty of obscenity. 

In Television: The Andy Griffith Show, My Three Sons and The Flinstones

Music Charts top song:  "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

At the Movies:  Alfred Hitchocks' Psycho was terrifying movie watchers.

'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...
