True Color

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2025 True Color Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace What is your purpose in life each day? Most mornings I wake up with a list of to do things that cannot be completed. Question is, are they purposeful things, or just piles of things that even if small, it sucks up 30 min or more. Philippians 2:1-2 " Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." I have to admit the number of emails I trash everyday is out of control. I really need to take the two hours and unsubscribe to most of them. The other things that sucks up too much time is Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Once you start rolling... you are gone and lo...

In His Heavenly Light

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2025 In His Heavenly Light Oil on Canvas by Laurie Pace for my one million follower Walking with Empathy: A Life of Teaching, Faith, and Service After more than forty years invested in the classroom and teaching, one truth has guided my journey: teaching is not rooted in sympathy, but in true empathy. Sympathy observes from a distance, but empathy walks alongside. To teach—whether children or adults—is to understand the whole person: their struggles, their fears, their joys, and the unseen burdens they carry. The years I spent teaching did more than shape my professional life; they blessed me with a deeper understanding of the people closest to me—my family, my friends, and my community. Teaching opened my heart and sharpened my awareness that every individual brings their full life into every space they enter. Compassion is essential for those who are in pain or facing challenges. As b...

Sun Stretch

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2025 Sun Stretch Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” "So much to do and so little time.” I think it. I say it. I live it. As a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an artist, a musician, a writer, a website builder, a bookkeeper, a cook, a maid, a counselor, a teacher, a planner—and whatever else the day requires—that phrase runs constantly through my mind and out of my mouth. But what is missing? God. This morning, as I woke from a good night’s sleep, I allowed only a brief thought to yesterday. It was not a productive day by any stretch of the imagination. Nothing went as planned. The day turned sideways and upside down. Family came to visit, schedules unraveled, and we didn’t sit down to lunch until 6:30 in the evening. It was one of tho...

Deep in Red Rage

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2025 Deep Red in Rage Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Deep Red in Rage... Posting late today at 5:30, but still need to clean up the studio from painting. I painted and then piled more paint and then washed the canvas off late last night. The first layer was acrylic and way better than the oils... Then I go back and look at what I had before I did it. Red Rage is not that painting... but I am in a period of finding my rhythm in front of the easel. Enjoy the lush color!!! "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17 I’ve spent a lot of time in Revelation this week. Something stirred deep within me—my “eyes of the heart” seemed to open, allowing me to see things I had missed in previous studies. As a teenager, Revelation felt like a frightening book. But it really isn’t, once you understand wh...

I do have a sale to my subscribed group on my website, and if you are not signed up, I am sorry. This painting was on it, but no longer. Half of the paintings that were on sale are spoken for. I know all the families with little ones are going a bit crazy in anticipation of the holidays and their hope on Santa Claus. My blog on my website today was pretty heavy on Revelation 21 ... the entire chapter. Do not forget the true reason for this season. Short blog as it is after 12 noon and I need to be painting. Have spent the morning with work and the sale and with blogging on my website. Have you noticed how close the numbers are on my blog? I only bring this up at the hundred thousand mark and the one in between at hundred fifty mark. 40,000 away from 400K . Excited. Tryi...

Strength

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2025 Strength Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Good morning. .. I am on a wild swing in the studio... battling direction, seeking color, contrast and a different approach. Have not given up yet! Your life is like that is many ways... the layers of experience, the moves made to go different directions and the choice of people you are with in life. Revelation 1:18 "I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. some wind." I was also reading in Streams of the Desert this morning... It is really important in life to know your direction and to know our Lord God and Jesus. If you are walking with Him, please share the message and help others find their way before it is too late. George Mueller's writings are strong: " Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown ...
