The Painting:  A new mix of mediums and exploring new avenues.  This unique first piece pulls in textured fabric papers and layers of acrylic. OH, by the way... check out the Five Graces blog.  http://thefivegraces.blogspot.com or the website: http://thefivegraces.org

Debbie Lincoln is upping the game plan. She is planning on painting 28 horses in 28 days of February. There is another artist doing 100 portraits in 100 days.  Leave me out on that one.  I can't do horses with Debbie doing them in February, I will have to wait and save them... but this would be a good time to consider 28 days of IMPRESSIONS.  I have several folks that have sent me very very darling, cute pictures of their children doing things.  I am going to do Impressions of the Younger Generation.  Send me your ideas for me to paint... I have a blonde favorite playing soccer, I have a young man leading a horse with his sister on the horse, I have quite a few ...so send me your favorite.  I will paint small, so if you want to buy it, this is the time to get something you want painted...  email images to me.  I won't be able to paint them all, but you will see the best of what I can do! hey Deb, horses would be alot easier!!!!  Wanna trade?

The Thought: If you could choose anything for yourself right now, what would you choose?   What would be something that would serve you through out your life in every situation?

Most folks think about 'stuff'... or they think about a far away destination, or even a treasure box full of gold. It is actually all the 'stuff' that keeps us prisoners.  We are a slave to our 'stuff'.   Uncle George called today and he is cleaning out his years and years of career in the art field from his studio area.  He said it was time for he and Aunt Eola to spool down.  Terry laughed and told him we were already trying to do that.  Every time the kids come over they leave with another box of their stuff I have tucked away.  We also had a call that one of the Pace family cousins died. He was in his 80's and was found dead in his home, alone on New Years Day.  One first thought was he was blessed to go so quickly with out illness of cancer or heart problems.  He didn't have to worry about health 'stuff'.

So after reviewing all of this, I would like to choose God.  With God, I am free to be an expression of His gifts and love. If everyone lived with that thought, the world might be a more pleasant place to live.  Can you imagine a peaceful society world wide?  God is within each person and in God there is good.  We need to find that good not only in ourselves but in others around us.

By choosing God, we choose to experience life to it's fullest and with His peace to support us through our journey.

Blessings of Abundance.
Laurie

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
