Moonlight Horse and trying to do the right things at what may be the wrong time.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Moonlight Horse   8 x 8 Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   2 Corinthians 11:25 "Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea...."  Have you ever felt no matter what you do, you were doing it wrong, or if you were trying to complete something things would pop up left and right to detain you?  Right now I feel this happening in my own life. One step forward and two or three steps backwards. This happened to Paul when he was preaching and could not travel or do the things he was called to do. Paul was an apostle spreading the gospel to foreign countries.  There is no direct evidence that Paul officially met Jesus before his death, but Paul did encounter Jesus on the Road to Damascus after his resurrection.

A Summers Day and other Gifts for Christmas 2024

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 A Summer's Day Oil on Canvas  Gifted   by Laurie Pace  Dec 2024 This precious painting was one I started 11 years ago. I came across it penciled on my canvas and started working on it two months ago. It was a Christmas gift to her parents. John 16:33  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”   I chose this verse to help us remember what Christmas is truly about. It was not just about Jesus' birth, but it is about our salvation through his birth, life and death here on earth as He was Risen from the dead after dying on the cross for our sins.  Jesus has overcome the world.  It is time to reflect and recognize the true blessings of God, which of course include the birth, life and death of His son, allowing our salvation through Him. The world is a fallen place and only through ...

Thank you all! Merry Christmas... from Golden Pond Studio

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 OLD RED Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Merry Christmas! A few extras going out to surprise two more that entered. Thank you all for entering.

Appropriate for this time of the year.  No laughing as I disclose my UH-OH.   We made a quick trip to Whole foods yesterday for fresh lettuce and potatoes and bread... and somehow still spent $130.  We shopped Friday for Christmas stuff... and spent $170.  Groceries need to go back down.    In my hurried mind, I thought Christmas was Thursday. I happened to be with my daughter at the bank yesterday and she was filling something out and she looked at her apple watch and wrote December 23rd.  I stopped and thought, no that is not right. Christmas is Thursday.  Hmmm... No THAT is not right. So I found out at 3 pm yesterday on the 23rd of December... that Christmas was Wednesday. I had to go back and adjust yeste...
