“The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.” George Carlin

Small sailboat painting but I LOVE the globs of paint on it.  Makes everything feel ABUNDANT! 

If we stop and take stock of what is around us, most of us live in abundance.  Do you have food to eat?  Do you have a place to sleep?  Do you have shoes and clothes to wear?  Do you have the freedom to walk and go where you want to go?  These are only simple things, but I realize more each day the abundance I have in my life that has come through the Father.

Most of us have nice homes, cars, money for food and going out to eat, which if I were to guess, most of us do quite often. We do not think twice when we go shopping for food or clothes, shoes, or just spending money on household stuff.  When  John spoke about "abundant life" in the Bible, John 10:10b "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." His reference to abundance is your life abounding with fullness of joy and strength for mind, body and soul. 


  • Be grateful for everything you have not just physically but mentally and spiritually.
  • Smile
  • Start your days focused on the Lord thanking him for the abundance in your life spiritually and physically. Rise early, pray and exercise before you eat. 
  • Keep your heart and eyes open for opportunities that are before you. 
  • Make the most of those opportunities.
  • Build Friendships along the way and keep your family strong and close. Relationships are one of our sweetest gifts.
  • Enjoy your life.  Enjoy your quiet times, your alone times and your busy times.

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...
