PUSH AGAINST Horse painting and the every day survival in this world of talking faces and penetrating thoughts. Texas Artist Laurie Pace

 PUSH Against
12 x 12  Mixed Media with Oils on Canvas

"I had this piece finished, I thought...but it was not until this morning. Following His guide on this right now. This one was up to sell but not complete. I spent this morning finishing the painting. PUSH Against the Wind" 

PUSH


There was a front pushing in this morning... when we woke at 5:30... the wind was stirring and the clouds covered the moon and stars.  By 7:00 am, the west look out of our home was a muted bright orange glow and out the east side a sun trying to rise above the wind and turmoil.  By 8:00 am the sirens were going off constantly. Tornadoes, high sheer winds and lots of rain became the story. Watching these strong cold fronts barrel in from the north west meeting the warm southern air we have had the past week (I have the air conditioner running!) the storms brew up quickly and often deadly. 

Did you ever notice how often that happens in our lives? Things brew up out of control. We are totally controlled by social media and broadcasting media. It is a challenge to meet someone with original thoughts these days. They storm us because we sit still and allow it in our lives. And why do we do this? Why do we stay plugged in?  Why do we rely on what other people think?  Let's go back to original thought! 

If you could turn it all off, what would you invest your time and life into in 2023? 

Dec 13th today... we have 11 days till Christmas Eve. The birth of our sweet Jesus would be the initiation  and irritation of conflict in the world that still exists today. Keep your heart open. Keep your eyes open. Rest in the Lord for everything you need.

Follow the Spirit of the Paint... with Laurie Pace
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelations 22;12

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 ...
