When I am painting I normally do not think in 'favorites' but rather in harmony of the first chosen colors. Usually I chose three colors, two near each other on the color wheel and one contrast complementary color. I rarely do paintings in these shades as they are my favorite shades.  Try to do something this day that is a favorite for you. Splurge and indulge yourself.  Laurie "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so a

Will there be physical change for others to see?  Every day as we awake, we unfold our lives. Some of us in meaningful ways and some of us in controlling ways or obsessive ways. When you have a change of heart, change of life, or a transformation of spirit, is there  something people will see?  In the movies it is the 'bolt' unexpected, or the fly by from the sky. In the movies there is a sudden change in char

Rebirth begins. Equine Painting Laurie Pace The painting is an oldie goldie, but one I think of often. Lives in California and it was one that I sold on eBay back in the day before I signed on with Galleries. The power in this painting still amazes me despite the rudimentary horse. As we are into May, my work is reborn with each journey to the easel.  Around me outside the grass is bright green, flowers are budding and blooming everywhere, and the trees are covered in thick brilliant new green leaves.  Even the sky seems bl

I am not convinced that is true of our growing concrete in our larger cities and the footprint we are leaving wiping out land, trees and nature in the sake of building more offices and homes.   We all grow and change through our lifetime and we literally cannot stop life from happening.  In my deepest heart I still cringe at the growing suburbs of humanity all trying to have their slice of the 'American Pie Dream' to "have it all".  I question whether we need it all.  Do we really need game rooms a

Authentic in Life, in Word and in Deed?  We each have our very own  DNA. We also have our very own physical and spiritual nature, different from all others. Our experiences and responses to situations in life build that individuality in each of us.  So many times it is easy to get trapped trying to be what other people want you to be and you separate from your individuality. With the loss of individuality is the total loss of sincerity.  Make your smiles count; make your words touch hearts and create happiness; be true to yourself in your actions and r

The generations are growing out from my Mom and Dad. Enjoying the beauty as it grows its a great gift from God.  May your family day be blessed today. "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, a

OVERWHELMED! There is time to do it... slow down and give it all a chance to fall into place. You have the time, resources and strength to do all that is yours to do. So, maybe you are doing something that is not yours to do.   Is it time to set some boundaries?  I had to do that recently and I can tell you it is freeing and empowering. I was deserving and worthy and so are you. While I do believe all of us have untouched potential to serve and give, I also recognize many of us are weighted down with re

But I know something is wrong. NOT a good attitude is it?  I am learning right now as I type this even, that if something is bothering me I have to turn myself inside to clean out my thoughts and rid myself of the negativity. It is really easy to slip into worry isn't it? Try taking a few cleansing breaths and concentrate on your belly rising and falling. Turn your thoughts somewhere else as you watch your tummy.  You will go deeper into an empty-fu

He drove over 100 miles round trip. The man really loves me. Back then we lived close to family and he literally traveled that far to work and back daily.  I prayed him there and prayed him home.   Sometimes when someone you are expecting is really late, you begin to worry about the unexpected.  Sometimes when you are not worried, the unexpected happens.   Our youngest son was in a horrific car accident in 1999.  He should have died but he lived
