When You Wish Upon a Star 

Wild Horse Painting
32 x 48  Oil on Canvas  SOLD - 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!” Pablo Picasso

 My horses have always brought me strength... Between the pull of their power and beauty is a tenderness and a huge heart. When I think of wild horses running in the wind, I want to paint!  So it really touched my heart when one of my fellow artists commented to me on FB the following: 

 “God bless you, Laurie, in this storm of life. Be as strong as your wild and wonderful horses. Thinking of you." Sylvia 

 God gifted these horses with stamina, strength, grace, speed, courage and most of all with heart. Painting them for the past 18 years, I fully understand the pure essence of energy... in not just the painting but in the spirit God has provided me.  I could not do anything without him.  

 This morning when I began my prayer journal and I looked back at Wednesday and Thursday entries, I saw things like:
  • God guides us and guards us.
  • There are no accidents.
  • I have security in God.
  • Believe and Trust
  • Psalm 37:28 For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.  Wrong doers will be destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. 
  • Take your hands off your life.  Commit to the Lord.  (Commit is to submit unconditionally) NO WORRY. 
  • Rest in the Lord
  • Get strife out of your life
  • Corinthians 10:23 "Do not seek your own good, but the good of others."

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
