Next Sketch of the Three Arabians 30 x 40 painting to be Sold commission We added redirection with the heads of the Arabian horses in this painting.  The collector wants the blowing manes etc and the use of color.  I will begin covering my canvas with a base acrylic wash and then will draw this out on the surface for placement...just a light sketch very little detail. The movement of paint must have freedom..the tightness of the sketch mus hold in my head. He chose to have one head bowing to emphasize the grace of the neck.     ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting : Laurie      WINNER of the GiveAway Painting : Leslie Carlson from Oklahoma!  Thank you Leslie...

How did she get there? "everything you took from me..." It is an incredible article  that covers a journey in her personal life.  A prayer shared with her by a close friend kept her sane and kept her foc...

Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. FUMC Belvidere Site Ash Wednesday emphasizes two themes: our sinfulness before God and our human mortality. The service focuses on both themes, helping us to realize that both have been triumphed through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The use of ashes as a sign of mortality and repentance has a long history in Jewish and Christian worship. Historically, ashes signified purification and sorrow for sin...

Is it a feeling or is it knowledge?  How do we know when to take action in our lives and how do we know it is the right action?  With all the complicated thoughts racing through our heads, it seems impossible to let them go to clear out the clutter and let God's presence into your mind.  To be free of doubt or fear and to act in faith requires inspired direction from Him. And how are you inspired as we enter into the Lenten season?   Think not only of what to give up for Lent, but what to add for Lent. 1. Give up smoking      Get better health 2. Give up sweets         Get better...

Looking to the Light I am Free Ink Sketch on book pages .   ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie       I Am Free There is responsibility that comes from spiritual freedom. We have the free spirit to speak words that uplift or tear down. While positive words encourage positive growth in ourselves and in others, negative words, finger pointing and judgements only lead to destroy others. We are free to think as we please and we have the power to control our thoughts. We have choice and with it spiritual freedom. If something occurs where your freedom seems limited, time to look higher. Nothing or no one can hold you in bondage. You are not controlled by others. You are only controlled by your own limited thinking. (remember those squirrels running in circles?) And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by ...
