Monday Cleaning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”  John Lennon

Remember the simple days?  Remember when school was a place you loved to go to learn and see your friends?  Your teacher was kind and knowledgeable  and life seemed simple?

Well, I feel that way about products in our lives.  School has become a marathon and the amount of dangerous cleaning products fill the shelves of our stores.  When I go to Home Depot and look at cleaning supplies there are massive shelves filled with products we should not even have in our homes.  What happened to the Keep it Simple Sweetie days?

The shelves are filled with dangerous chemicals but they will clean your home and might even polish you off at the same time.  What did your grandmother use?  I still use Murphy's oil on many things.  My furniture and sometimes on my floors. I keep Old English on standby for scratches, both a light and dark version. I also discovered Milsek products.  They have been around since 1914. Milsek Website.   They have furniture polish and multi purpose cleaner, Stainless Steel cleaner, Leather cleaner, Antique Restoration with lemon oil and Gun Stock and Barrel cleaner.  What more could you want? 

You can have floors, cabinets and more all clean without bad chemicals.  Another old favorite is Bon Ami on pots and pans. But, I remember my grandmother cleaning with baking soda. We used it as a toothpaste and she used it to scrub pots and pans, the sink and the stove itself.

John 14 :15 “If you love me, keep my commands."

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' 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...
