Why is it at the end of every day I can think of 100 things to write and share pertaining to life, love, family and painting, but at 11 am... my brain is still trying to make sure I finished what I needed to do this morning!.  This would be why I always blogged the night before and posted it to release in the early morning hours. Something to be said about 'the old days'. 

Launching into November.

Feels officially like fall is here when we reach the first of November. The trees in Texas rarely turn with color.  Our elm in the front yard is getting its tiny yellow leaves and the red oaks in the back are still green! 
I do believe the fall colors are part of the painting I have been working on over the past three weeks ever so slowly until this week!  

Change is good right?

I am attempting to see if that is what I need in several places in life, including painting. With the smell back of oils... I am not happy.  But I started this one in acrylics and it is fine for small pieces but not large ones like this. I needed to try and do this one for Mirada and the holiday sale coming up. I have to finish this by Friday... ????  

The change in painting was to try and use more acrylics. The change in approach was to sketch it out and then layer oils over it taping out sections to keep.   Too early to tell if this is a good change or not.

  • The change in life is a daily one. To not argue with anyone, to always remember GOD has this, and wait on decisions to pray and see if you get answers on it from Him. He really does keep watch over us.  
  • Then to live each day purposefully using the gifts he gave me to help others and serve him through the process. This allows the Holy Spirit to guide us carefully.
  • Lastly, to stop consuming sugar as it is not good for the body! I still eat healthy but Terry brings home ice cream, cheese and eggs, ALL things NOT in our home until lately. I have to be strong to take care of myself.
Are you facing some things in life that require you to change, or situations that require you to wait and maybe not respond in anger? We can stick together and prepare our hearts and lives for the holidays ahead! 

Follow the Spirit of the Paint... with Laurie Pace
“So may all your enemies perish, LORD! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years." Judges 5:31

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

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 ...

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 ...
