Friday dawns, well not yet, the sun is still asleep...but Mr Moon is up...the temps are near freezing and I REALLY need to be outside picking huge green tomatoes. I then could make FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. YUMMM. Makes me realize how hungry I am!

This painting was completed three days ago. I began a composition of sail boats with a pink sunset and a yellow beach with children on the beach....and out came this horse. Reminds me of all the detour writing I have been doing this week. Strong colors adorn this composition and the horse is a mare. You can see the delicate look in her eyes almost like she has discovered something and is looking closer.

You know when I painted this painting I had a goal in mind, a definite sketch of where I was heading. But as the colors began to appear on the canvas...it was not working and I began to scrap and pull the colors allow them to move and mold on the surface. Then I began to study the left over impressions to see what I could discover in them. Trusting the Holy Spirit with in to guide me, I began to establish this pretty mare. Insight led me to the finish. Wisdom was my companion; I teach my students, never give up on a painting....allow it to finish out and evolve. Give it it's own spirit from you. Release yourself from it.

This is what I offer you to think about in your life today. Release the things you do not need. Allow the day to shape itself with out your control and expectations. Take each new moment and embrace it with a new heartbeat of love and faith as you move forward.

Shalom,

Laurie

Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
