“May you live every day of your life.” ― Jonathan Swift

Each day you live, live it to the fullest.  Give it all your have in every area of life.  Smile, spread joy, work hard, share love and remember always to connect with others and serve when you can. 

We seem to get tangled in our immediate worlds and forget about reaching out to others.  Sometimes it seems simpler to not get involved.  While I am not suggesting overwhelming your current life, I am speaking about examining what you are involved in and make sure you chose wisely for yourself and how you serve other people. We have been told to learn to say no; is it saying no or is it taking a long hard look at where you are spinning and spending your time?

This is Palm Sunday. We celebrate the joyful entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, one week before His resurrection. The people were waving large palm branches and laying them before him as he walked into the holy city.  This was near the culmination of a long journey toward Golgotha. Jesus came to save the lost and we realize it is the time and the place that he will secure our salvation. This week is often called Passion Week, marking the final days of Jesus' earthly ministry.  Palm Sunday is the 'beginning of the end' of Jesus' work here on earth. You might say it is his last push. 

 God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.  1 Kings 4:29

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

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...
