Day Two Progression 4 x 6 Feet Oil on Canvas. SOLD  Today was a light day of just wiping and coating the canvas with blue paint over the words.

I am back in the studio at work.  As I began this painting, I painted in the words of favorite Bible verses and the Lord's Prayer. It is always inspiring to me to know what verses people are 'attached' to in their lives.  This would be their inspiration verses, or confirmation verses, or something they cling to  in all time. Watch for paint tomorrow in this progression Horse painting.   On the First Day of Christmas... A Partridge in a Pear Tree The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, whose birthday we celebrate on December 25, the first day of Christmas. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge that feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestli...

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 May His light shine on your path. May His abundance fill your every need. May His love uplift and surround you every day. May His grace be yours always. May you remember to talk with Him each day. May you thank Him for your many blessings and gifts. May you listen for His word in response and  not listen to your own inner voice. May you Praise His Name Always. May you ask for His Forgiveness. May you pray for others this year. May you Serve the Lord and those around you in your journey. Laurie and Terry Pace

How Great Thou Art, Five Hearts by Texas Artist Laurie Pace, Music by Carrie Underwood, "How Great Thou Art" from Laurie Pace on Vimeo .  Here is the full process on this painting.  Wishing you the best of the season, His love and His grace. Zechariah was silenced by God for his disbelief in God's miracle for Zechariah and Elizabeth to have a child.  Zechariah was pretty old when John was born.  (thinking back to Abraham and Sarah, they were between 90 and 100 years of age when Sara gave birth to Isaac.) For nine months Zechariah did not speak and when his son John was born, his first words were of praise and  thanksgiving with the realization that sometimes you have to trust the impossible.   We are all part of God's plan and He waits daily for us to respond.   Open your heart, your eyes and your ears to all around you.  Feel the warmth of His unconditional love that is yours for the taking.  Open your hands and your h...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 How Great Thou Art, Five Hearts  30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD - Gift Finished piece and full of the essence of the family it was created for. God Created us in His own image and seeks a relationship with us. Are you ready in your heart to serve him and have a relationship with Him? As we celebrate and honor the Birth of Jesus, this Christmas is the time to p lace your life in God's hands and acknowledge Him with all your heart.    There is much we still need to "do" and He wants you to simply "be" and to slow down and savor these days. Anticipation is not about gifts and food, it is about the birth of Jesus Christ.  You feel anticipation, but is it for Him? This is only a suggestion, but slow down and breathe and give thanks for this busy day... and reach out to those around you that need your help.  Laurie Pace ...

Back to Heart to Heart now entitled How Great Thou Art, Five Hearts      © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 How Great Thou Art, Five Hearts  30 x 40 inches Mixed Media on Canvas. SOLD - Gift The Layering continued on this abstract heart painting while I was putting up the five extra give aways. Now it is time to finish this painting as it is a Christmas gift. This is the fourth Sunday in Advent. I really do not know where the time has gone in December. We have seen a little bit of everything from unexpected ice storms paralyzing our lives for almost a week, to sweet memories made with our grandchildren, and with our families.  Everything is in His time and not ours.  Jesus' birth was part of God's plan in His time, and it is now our time to reflect deeply on this simple birth and great magnitude it had on generations to come.  Reading our advent going from...

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Descent Horse Painting 8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas.   This may be it...do not know as I am still discovering things and preparing for 2014 and a new start in the studio.   Winner announced tomorrow. Saturday... not sure where the days have gone as we have prepared our hearts as we are close to the fourth week of advent starting tomorrow. This was a week to explore joy... and reasons to have joy.  So easy to walk into a store and see something you are dying to own and just flip out that credit card and buy it. Sheer joy?  Is it really? The feeling lasts what about five minutes before the doubt creeps in, "Should I have spent that money?" and then the rationalizations start,   "I can wear it for the Christmas party, and again for dinner out with  the family Christmas day..."  How about flipping out that cred...
