Wow, found this one in the OLD files from 2006. Moody Blues. It was huge. Probably 3 x 4 ft in size. Pile that paint high... pile that paint even higher.

I recall thinking that same thought about the hamburger Terry ate last week. We were basically Forks over Knives and somehow he has weaseled more meat into this house as of late. I have lentils today...will have them tomorrow too.  So he is being so helpful last week cooking while I was painting in between his runs up and down the stairs putting in wood flooring. He had bought two pounds of hamburger. ???  There are only two of us and I do not eat hamburger meat.  So he made himself this awesome looking burgers and sauteed mushrooms on the top. Mushrooms I would have eaten.  He bought himself some ciata bread to use as a bun and he was grinning up a storm when he piled that burger on the bun with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and ... cheese? Nope he told me he put that INSIDE the hamburger. 

Somethings are bigger than life. Somethings we have in life are challenges (like this hamburger). What are you piling on in your life that you can actually live without?  Alyson Stanfield, an art coach, helped me accept the things I cannot change and actually change the things I can change. 

We do not have to 'eat' the whole hamburger. We do not have to 'do it all'.  We do not have to pile our lives full of things that bring us more harm than good.  Be selective. Think about the things you need to let go of. There is time in life to do all you need to do. Do not pile it on.

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; Ecclesiastes 3:2-6

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...
