“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt, This is My Story

 Last night when I could not sleep, I was up journaling. I stopped to look something up on the internet and this quote jumped out at me and I wrote it down.  Little did I think a second thought that it would pop up on my search screen this morning when looking for quotes on wisdom. Twice in 12 hours.  At midnight, I was searching for a personal look at how you be bold with God's light and love in your life, and do it with humility.  God did not create us to be fearful or to feel afraid to live our lives.  He created each of us to shine with his light using our gifts.  More on my next journal on this. 

My dad taught me in my teens, the world was simply not about me. The "I" was not important. It hurt my feelings at the time. I was seventeen and in my first semester of college and I had written home about all that was happening.  His correction stayed with me in my conversations with others as well as my writing notes or letters.  Not sure about journals.

This painting was created in May 2010 and appeared in American Art Collector.  It was purchased within days of the magazine's release by a collector in Oklahoma. . Seems to me the dance and interaction between these three horses is amazing. If I had to identify with one of them, I would be in the back.  Where would you be?  I am a strong person, but have never desired the limelight.  As a teacher in my spirit, I am a nurturer and I want to see my students bloom and be happy and satisfied with their journeys.   

 "and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—" Exodus 35:31

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
