"I am grateful for what I am and have." Thanksgiving Blessings from Laurie and Terry Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence. Well, anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next ten thousand years, and exhaust it. How sweet to think of! my extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.”  ― Henry David Thoreau From Terry and me...with l

TV is the shepherd.” ― Jess C. Scott, Literary Heroin (Gluttony): A Twilight Parody I do believe I might substitute FaceBook (Twitter, Instagram etc)  is the Shepherd.  My dad always used teaching comparisons on us.  "If everyone jumps off the roof, are you going to jump off the roof? If every one runs on the edge of the cliff by the ocean, are you going to do it too?"  Social media is more evil than good in my eyes and experience. Most viewers are herded right to where they want you.  Social Media lives off chaos and conflict just like TV does.  What h

You can Inhale its Essence . . . Laurie Pace

It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence.” ― Louis L'Amour, The Haunted Mesa I wanted to share the video of this painting below because the book pages served as the foundation of the painting.  It sold this month at Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Indian Hills outside of Denver.  It is a painting that packs a punch and then when you see how it was conceived and how it grew, it is truly powerful. Louis L'Amour was my mother in law's favorite read. She collected all of his book. (I di

What are you enamored with?

The Sky is Falling". Many lives became endangers as animals flew into a fearful frenzy. Some versions of the story have an unhappy ending and others an ending where Henny Penny realizes it is important to be brave and figure things out.  Do not believe all you hear on social media or the news.

And then at some point late, late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns into cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you're almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and jus

Are you not much more valuable than they? Photography by Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2016  Photography. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 This birthday week beginning finds me into Hebrews. After yesterday's thoughts I really liked the end of Hebrews 13:5... I will never fail you - I will never forsake you.   He promises and he always keeps His promises.  We mean way more to Him than the birds and he provides all they need.  He does that and so much more for you and me.  I have not kept my promises... have you? I stray and must refocus and find my way

Sold ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Follow me on Facebook           Sign up for my monthly studio newsletter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “She has that quality, does the Hudson, as I imagine all great rivers do: the deep, abiding sense that those activities what take place on shore among human beings are of the moment, passing, and aren't the stories by way of which the greater tale of this planet will, in the end, be told.”  ― Caleb Carr, The Angel of Darkness It is one of  THOSE days.  We all have them. It is my birthday. The older you get, the birthdays fly by. My dad's was the day after mine and I lost him in 2012.  I miss my birthday partner in life.  My mom said she w
