“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand as well.”
― Jack London

This was a unique horse painting and I believe I only did two or three different sizes. One larger painting went to Australia, that was similar.  It begins with prayer always for me not to be in the way of the spirit moving my touch as I paint on that canvas.  I had the canvas flat on the table and a brush in hand... not a knife. I began applying paints and was not worried if they ran or overlapped.  No preconception of what would be where. (You saw this on yesterday's painting I shared, the bottom layers of acrylic paint.)  Usually you will find me turning the canvas on the easel from horizontal to vertical to inverted and back. Always I see horses.  (One day I want to do a child!) This horse raising his head was right there before me and that was the direction I pushed.

Do You Pray Before Doing Things?

Before embarking on any day, any new endeavor, or any painting, I firmly believe in the open relationship I have with the Lord to seek His divine guidance through prayer. It is imperative for me to back off and detach my own desires and aspirations, ensuring that I open myself up to God's influence and direction through the Holy Spirit that abides with in me. Bowing my head and humbly asking for His guidance brings me peace and clarity, acknowledging His wisdom far surpasses my own no matter what is ahead. By offering my intentions to Him, I am surrendering control and allowing His will to prevail in my life.  I know His plans for me are far greater than anything I could conceive. Does this work every time? If it does not, it is because I have taken back control in what ever work, mission, or painting I am working at.

If you can make this act of humble surrender, you will find strength, courage, and reassurance that you are on the right path.


"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 ESV

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 ...
