I believe the drought of summer 2022, has been one of the worst we have experienced in our lifetime. Yesterday, for the first time in two months, temperatures fell below 100 and it rained. It actually stormed. Terry and I had left the house to travel to Keller Texas, to Bear Creek Running Co. We are planning on walking the dogs as temps drops, and I needed new shoes. I drove us in BlueBird (My new car) home in strong winds and torrential rains with thunder and lightening. While I wish I had flowers to be worried about, we struggled this summer to water the grass and all of our trees. We had nine trees but the weather last year took out a 20 yr old red oak. It left a huge vacancy in our back yard. My hope is to break away from these 100 degree and up days. This is far from normal.

The flowers posted above may become a painting. It is a work up of subject and color on the computer. I fell in love with the softness through out the composition. Should I paint a small one or a large one? Would love to hear from you.

I am alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:5)

I was listening to a book from Chirp written by Joyce Myers about three in the morning a few days ago. When I went in search of specifically the publication, I could not find it for this writing, but she had a blog on Knowing who I am in Christ . In the middle of the night as I listened to Joyce, I had not see the blog I tagged. I remember from her words you are either IN Christ or you are not IN Christ. That weighed heavily in my mind, realizing when those human moments flare with anger or disappointment, I am not in Christ. When I worry about my adult children or their families, I am not in Christ. When I run those 'what ifs' through my head at 3 am, I am not in Christ. When I beat myself up for being unworthy, I am not in Christ. My list could go on for awhile, but I imagine you get where this is going. Her blog list is a beautiful reminder of why we are in Christ. You might bookmark this page and read it daily. Did you find you are not living IN CHRIST?

Do you know who you are in Christ? It takes a personal examination of your thoughts and your actions in your life. I pray this gives you insight and comfort at the same time. Let go of everything you can. Live in Christ. It is simple if you let it all go.

I have received abundant grace and the gift of righteousness and reign in life through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

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. This is available for purchase. Please click here to see pricing and 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...
