A new day... a new year... a new beginning?  

Well, I did send out my first monthly newsletter yesterday.  I have chosen to try and keep up with one a month on top of my journaling.  I have been maintaining my main blog at http://lauriepace.blogspot.com since fall of 2006. I believe I have 3,017 entries in that blog.

First, I have decided to call this a journal and not a blog.  

Blog:noun 1. a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
Journal:noun   1. a daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary.

Why? I believe the relationship of myself with my art is more intimate than a 'website' blog.

Next, I believe the relationship between you and me is deeper than that.  I have written about this often,  "Intimacy".  "In to me see".  I want this journal to be  record of this journey. It is dedicated to "this day" and to new ideas and renewed living.  You and I cannot be held down by old grudges and outdated viewpoints. We are both alive and full of new ideas.  These new ideas will lead to new growth if we get out of the way.  I am ready, are you? 

Last, together we will be renewed in the Spirit.  This year I want to rediscover laughter, happiness, and  carefree moments. This year I want to stop losing time to worry and planning. Too much time is spent on things we cannot change. So let's make room for the new and begin to emerge from out of our old ways.

"Sing to him a new song." Psalm 33:3

"The Journey" was painted in 2006.  Most of you do not know that there are two other things dear to my heart and I would love to paint more of.  One is trees.

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.

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...
