It is like fire in the water. God is light. God is fire. READ MORE HERE>>>>> Laurie My Blog    My Website     Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards      The Five Graces  ...

There were no 'worries' or squirrels... I simply went to bed late after the Cowboy game and woke up by 3:30 this morning.  I prayed for friends and family; I sang praise songs in my brain; I did deep breathing exercises.   Then it was 4:30.   READ MORE HERE>>>> Laurie         My Blog    My Website     Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards      The Five Graces     The Artists of Texas      Daily Painters      Contemporary Fine Art International    ...

The road looms before us as our eyes dart around seeing what surrounds us, often being tempted to leave the road and explore. The 'lines' in society keep most of us moving in 'the direction' expected.  Crossing the lines is the sign of a rebel or a wanderer.

Angels  are messengers of God.  Is it possible to  know if you have an 'angel' touch your life? It is not like they leave 'angel dust', a visual marker that they have been there. Perhaps they leave a heart print or a smile or a very warm feeling of safety.   "He will give His angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hand they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone."  Psalms 91:11-12  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE>>>>> Laurie   My Blog    My Website   ...

Reflections of Glory 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas The Original Horse Painting is SOLD, but prints are available on  Fine Art America. This horse painting was one of my most popular paintings. The original was painted in 2007 and sold the first day I had it on the blog. Contrasting color palette and the reflective water brought intensity and dissonance to what would normally be a quiet moment of a  horse drinking water. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011  Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie   Choices in Life... What do I do now? Making decisions in life is often not only challenging but can be overwhelming as well. Looking back at life there can be questions as to some of those choices. Bad decisions from the past are mistakes we must make amends for within our minds as well as with those that were affected by them. It is not possible to move forward until you can forgive and ask fo...

It is sold and lives with a collector in Pennsylvania. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011  Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      In Harmony Depression or sorrow can be part of positive healthy growth. Low times of grief are needed to provide the contrast to joy and fulfillment. Comparing it to music is looking at the 'harmony' or lack of harmony, which is  dissonance . Cognitive dissonance refers back to the core of life and living.  Conflict or incongruity. There is a vast collection of music in the world with thousands of voices, instruments and infinite ways to arrange notes together to create something unique.  Music is m...

The bowl is near a window and I am still developing that part of the painting. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011 Contact me for your own commissioned painting  or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Turning It Over When those words run through my mind I think of the soil outside. Or even the days spent at the beach digging in the sand and watching sand castles dissolve back into the ocean. It is not always just letting go and letting God, but sometimes there is more involved when you cannot seem to let go. Turning it over with God.  Digging into the heart of the issues and 'shoveling them out of the way. Turning the soil over and making way for new growth in life. Letting go is always hard...

Progression on new Canadian Wolf Painting Commission SOLD 24 x 30 inches  Oil on Canvas      ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Pruning There are times in the cycle of my roses that I have to prune them back. While I hate disrupting the growth and the blooms, it is the right thing to do.  At those times in life when we cannot see beyond our nose we lose sight of what can be.  Turning it over to the Lord and following the lead of Jesus encourages you to do your own 'pruning'.  We have to let go and walk away from things that we are comfortable with; things that appear to us to be perfect for our life. But truly are they? We soon realize the jewels that fill our 'crowns in our life" are only of this earth and not of heaven or of God. Taking off the "crown" we realize we are not the important person we thought we...
