The Painting: This is a piece returning from a closed gallery in California.  The Red Tree Gallery closed over a split in the family.  I have four pieces coming home from the coast and this is by far one of my favorites. Even last year I painted a similar one in a large version for a collector as a commission painting.  Trigger has rich deep caramel browns and golden sienna's.  The paint is palette knifed on in thick pulls of color carving out in ridges of paint.

The Thought:  I placed my order today with Asel Art for canvas and supplies to begin my big painting session for this week.  I am preparing pieces for a show in Colorado in April.  If Trigger does not sell from the blog, I may send it as part of the collection.

Preparing is where my blog is heading today.  Preparation is needed in our hearts as a process to prepare our desires.  This basically means practicing our sense of anticipation in a positive outlook.  To have preparation that is going into Lent being a dreaded time of giving up something we love... we are definitely not on the right track.  Lent is the time to prepare our hearts for something wonderful to happen.

It is here a sense of excitement will set off anticipation as we begin to realize there is something coming to look forward to ourselves.  Staying aware of His grace, we need to prepare to place ourselves in the right space to receive what God has for us.

Preparing ourselves mentally is not the only place we need to work. Our home needs to prepare as well.   The preparation reaches out of the mind into our living and daily life.  Our preparation and excitement can be witnessed by others and it can help them begin to prepare as well.  Our desire and focus stirs the spirit to be prepared...

Are you making ready?

 "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:8-14

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 ...
