“The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.” ― Lao Tzu

Keep hoping for cooler temps. Posting a horse in the snow seem to help the heat. Dallas remains 10 degrees warmer than it should be right now. Need one of those strong cold fronts to push through but that is usually the first week of November. Just need some relief!

I love this quote about being yourself.  I am so so so working on that. I have spent most of my years of my life trying to be what everyone else wants me to be, OR what I think they want me to be.  I finally figured out I have missed out on who I am.  So here at this time of life I am in the discovery mode of finding out who I really am.  

We watched that old flick, Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts. Remember that part about the eggs?  With every man she dated, she 'loved' the way they liked their eggs.   If they loved scrambled, so did she. If they like poached, so did she. I know that feeling.. I get it.  I have done it my whole life.   

Any ideas how to break through to find the real me?  I am not a huge egg eater but I like them like Morgan cooks them for me... my youngest son.  I like them fried (not healthy at all) and he does it just right breaking the yolk at the last minute so some of it is cooked and some is runny.

Now ask me what my favorite thing is to do... Hummm, I do not know. Believe it or not, probably something alone.... reading a book, playing my guitar...those rank pretty high.  Christmas 2014 playing with son Morgan.  

Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Psalm 96:1-2

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.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'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...
