The Painting: I began layer on this last week.  I saw flowers in pots and ladies dancing, but most of my buyers look for my equine art...so last night I began working to find the painted ponies... voila here they are.  I truly enjoy the movement of colors in this new signature style and so far it has been exceedingly popular.

The Thought: Movement. When I think of motion and movement I instantly think of the world around me.   When you live in the city of Dallas, there is CONSTANT movement of people, cars, airplanes, dogs, cats, birds, etc.  There is absolutely never a quiet still moment. In the city it cannot be.  In the country you face less people induced noise, but definitely nature at her loudest... birds, crickets, wolves, dogs, water and stillness.

I believe the loudest movement is in the pure stillness that seems to evade our presence.  Have you noticed in your life how stillness and quiet is so loud?  With that loud is of course movement, be it movement around you that moves slowly in the stillness, or movement of your brain as the squirrels run around in circles on the treadmills of your mind.  

How do you stop the movement? How do you get to that meditative point of pure stillness? That is something to work on this weekend.  Find time to mediate and be alone.  As you sit and slowly breathe, notice the piercing noise of silence and the movement surrounding you.  Begin to rise above it all to the level place of peace.  That is where you will find God.  

He is constantly moving circles around you creating paths and challenges to strengthen you.  Meet Him in His swing of motion and bring Him to you at a peaceful time, not just at the times of need when you cry out in pain or want.  It is delightful to meet with Him and match His motion and His step and begin to move as He plans for me... swinging in the same rhythm as He does matching perfectly His motion.

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 ...
