Wolf Painting by A Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Wolf Painting Progression

I continued painting yesterday...and took pictures as I went. The painting has changed quite a bit.  The gallery wanted brown and not white, so this tracks the intensity of painting with the progression shots.  Nothing is done until I feel the entire painting has reached a certain point and I have captured what spirit I am looking for in this wolf painting. It is not done yet, Color overlays must change and shapes have to be adjusted.

Change

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."  Maria Robinson

They reported on the news as we are ending this month that it was nicknamed the month of Junuary... instead of January.  Very little snow in the USA and very little cold weather.  It certainly reminds us of last summer and temperatures from 110-117 degrees for over 85 days.   We cannot go back and start over this year...the month of January is gone... so with the climate changing so drastically, how do we start today to make this new ending?  We have to change how we view things.

Climb up where you can see what God offers.
From climate to relationships, from jobs to classrooms... we can begin again today with a new attitude and a new view.  Tonight I visit a local Girl Scout troop to do a program on being an artist.   I will be teaching about climbing out of the box.  That too is another way to start today and have a new ending. 

EVERYTHING does not need to stay the same.  Your habits, your lists, the way you control your day.  Change it up and climb out of that box. View life in a new way as you begin the second month of this year.  When you stay in your box, you cannot see the world around you.  God has created so much for you to do and see and be... are you hiding in your box for a reason?

Words of my heart, Laurie

“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” Psalm 86:5 NIV

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 ...
