"A nd Lo I am  with you all the appointed days - Matt 28:20     This morning I was drawn into the thought and reading of the day with Streams of the Desert. It was reflecting on two words, fear and hope.  What do you live with?  I realized immediately I need to redirect my thoughts to remember God has this and I need to stop trying to deal with things my way. Yes I need to have hope, but this hope is based on all He has accomplished through me in my years here on earth. He has never left me behind, he has walked through the shadows as well as my fears.  I must rise above.  His light continues to shine for eac

" He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Daniel 2:21    I am reminded of a favorite verse from Philippians that we should go to the Lord in prayer and supplication while giving thanks to make our needs and desires brought forth before our God.  We all have needs, hurts, pains, and discouragements right now in our lives. In today’s world, we are all affected physically or mentally by life, illness or need. For many of us, our expectations have not been met, and our feelings are raw. God has promised to answer our prayers…but in his time with his answer. It is best if we lay aside the anxiousness that seems to creep in our hearts and lives. He knows what y

Ever Present Help for us… Winter Races

This was simply a ‘oh wow’. This was from the middle of Dec through the 16th of January. Has not really been cold until last week.  Our world is changing and presently not in our favor economically. BE PATIENT  Have you ever had one of those days where you begin to doubt everything? My sweet husband works hard to keep us safe, but are we?  He decided we ought to check for gas leaks with the bill as high as it is.  I know sometimes he forgets to t

An Old Friend - delivering two new paintings!

Bless us in whatever experiences this day may bring to each of us. May we plant seeds of blessings to grow in the lives of others. May we have the energy to meet this day and its needs. May we not be distracted by worries. May we each enjoy every single simple quiet moment. Give us honesty and kindness living this day forward.  This beautiful horse Painting hangs in the home of one of my collectors. I was delivering two paintings to her home a week ago, and was thrilled to get to see the other pieces she had hung over the years. The one I’m sharing this morning is one of my favorites. The vivid contrasting colors combined with the horizontal movement of the horses across the water accented by the change of light at sunset, creates that feeling of the close of day, with the closing majest

Second Composition for Never Ending Love...from five horses to three! A share from Texas Artist Laurie Pace aka Elle Pace

I can only say it was near one in the morning when I went this direction.  I stopped and left it on the easel just to return in the morning. I knew I would either love it... by feeling it work (Looking back I like the other first one better!) or I would wipe it again.  What do you think will happen? In our lives we are challenged by many things and sometimes sink into desperation or sadness or even frustration.  I have always stepped back, walked away to do something else besides paint or think... and in this case it was sleep.  This is part of the frustration of being a painter that paints intuitively. I can sketch all day long but sometimes that just does not work out. Being BRAVE is essential to success. Remember our Lord is with you in lif

Going through the files continues and the bubbles became horses. I have to cross reference which horses because these were photos off my iphone in 2016 the first year in the smaller house and smaller studio!  Change  There is much to think about and write about. Times are a changing... and that is unavoidable. I saw the words "STAY AWAKE" and that struck me strong this morning. Had to do with Russell Brand... who left Hollywood and wanted to change his life several years ago. It has not been an easy journey from what I understand, but he and his new wife are happy living a quiet life away from it all. His new wife said when they met again a second time in life, they developed a deep connection. "You have to rebuild your foundat
