"With you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light." Psalm 36:9

What do you do when you need to be energized? In the studio I will opt to crank music up and the beat will energize me into action. In the same sense, when I need to be quiet, I will put on quiet music to soothe the soul and rest the heart.

Prayer is something that is used to quiet myself just before falling asleep and again just as I wake up. During the day I have continual conversations with God, but concentrated prayer puts me in a meditative state where I listen as I pray.

God provides His Divine Energy to refresh and renew us. I think I often miss it. It may be the red rose blooming on my JFK rose bush, or the wind blowing outside the studio rustles the leaves and branches on the huge trees in the back yard. It might even be the water at Lake Ontario pulsing in and out with waves on the shore. Always the world is in constant motion around us filled with His Divine Energy. What can you see outside your window alive and moving? HDE flows through every cell in every living thing, including you and me. It is invigorating when you think of it. Every cell in your body functions through HDE to make us vitally alive and enthusiastic about life.

Share your energy today...let it be contagious to someone else.


Passing on some HDE from me to you...joyfully.

Laurie

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” 1 John 5:14-15

I am so glad to have found your blog. I really like your painting style. Or perhaps I should say "styles". The difference in your last two paintings is amazing. And I love them both. Well done!

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
