In Celebration of Father's Day 2011 Texas Horse Artist Laurie Pace

In Celebrating Thoughts of Fathers Day

I looked back over the year at paintings I had completed and sold and this one 
stood out for some reason. Could have been the brilliant red background
that caught my eye. This color is my Dad's favorite color.
I am not even sure what the title of this painting is and it is way too early to go
searching around in old external hard drives.

This piece is SOLD.

YES  You Can

Growing up with Gerald as your father made you know in your heart that all things were possible. I am not sure if that was necessarily just his faith in God as much as it was the strength to persevere under pressure. Persevere is defined: "Continue in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no prospect of success."  Dad have every intention of finding success. He could take a tiny spark of hope and turn it into a bounty of warmth for everyone.

This is my Mom and Dad in 1975 holding my first born child, Justin. He as the first born grandchild on both sides. My dad was pleased as punch and Mom was not too far behind him.

Ben Pace, Terry's Dad was dancing a close tune with his life and raising his family. Ben worked hard as he came out of serving both in the US Navy as well as the US Air Force.  His engineering mind put him a good position at Mitchell's and it was there the first icee machine was invented.  While Ben loved his work with inventions, he also loved his family and was devoted to them.  He too believed that all things were possible and his faith was immeasurable it was so great.

This is Ben with Lady L, his first born grand-daughter. He and Bobbie Jean 
had wanted one precious baby girl and had three boisterous boys.  Ben 
nicknamed Lady L  "GAYLE" because that was the name he and Bobbie 
had picked out for their first little girl.



We must believe that we can do all things through God's spirit within us.  With the simple faith based belief in the Lord, we can live our life with a new meaning.  Being willing to do what the Spirit directs us to do allows His plans to unfold. God's wisdom surrounds us and His life invigorates us. Nothing is lacking in us because we are created by Him to be like Him.

My husband learned from his Dad as Ben led by example. A man must not only
love his family but respect each member individually and be gracious and grateful for their gifts.  Encouraging and believing in someone can make all the difference in the world.


Live every moment fully in His peace and know that you can succeed in anything that you do.

And God says,"YES YOU MAY."

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 ...
