A new day... a new year... a new beginning?  

Well, I did send out my first monthly newsletter yesterday.  I have chosen to try and keep up with one a month on top of my journaling.  I have been maintaining my main blog at http://lauriepace.blogspot.com since fall of 2006. I believe I have 3,017 entries in that blog.

First, I have decided to call this a journal and not a blog.  

Blog:noun 1. a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style.
Journal:noun   1. a daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary.

Why? I believe the relationship of myself with my art is more intimate than a 'website' blog.

Next, I believe the relationship between you and me is deeper than that.  I have written about this often,  "Intimacy".  "In to me see".  I want this journal to be  record of this journey. It is dedicated to "this day" and to new ideas and renewed living.  You and I cannot be held down by old grudges and outdated viewpoints. We are both alive and full of new ideas.  These new ideas will lead to new growth if we get out of the way.  I am ready, are you? 

Last, together we will be renewed in the Spirit.  This year I want to rediscover laughter, happiness, and  carefree moments. This year I want to stop losing time to worry and planning. Too much time is spent on things we cannot change. So let's make room for the new and begin to emerge from out of our old ways.

"Sing to him a new song." Psalm 33:3

"The Journey" was painted in 2006.  Most of you do not know that there are two other things dear to my heart and I would love to paint more of.  One is trees.

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 and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

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 law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
