“I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.” Anne Frank

I was just passing through the den where Hubby was watching a news report. We had some down news last night that one of our trees in the back yard is diseased and we may lose it and the other two large Red Oaks as well.  Might as well blow up the back yard loosing the three huge trees that shade the house. 

He looked up at me and said, "Go wash your face using hot water".  I am looking at him funny. It is 10 a.m.  and I cannot imagine how my face was dirty since I have only been up three hours and have not been anywhere since I washed it rising from sleep at seven.  I have learned to just do things for usually he has a reason for 'washing my face'.  

As I arrived at the sink I pulled out a new clean washrag and ran the water hot and began soaking the rag and putting it to my face.  I gathered up the hand soap and lathered the rag and washed my face. (again) I took my time rinsing realizing how much stress was leaving my body and my mind. The simple act of washing my face put a new smile on my face with clear thoughts as I left the bathroom. 

Lesson learned... let go of the things pulling you down or causing worry. Go wash your face. If you cannot do that, take your mind to a place where you can imagine no Covid, no rioting, no attacks on your country... I think of heaven and the beauty it might contain... I would love cooler air, a running stream and lots of trees. 
“ Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." James 1:12

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...
