John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Back... Back and painting.  A three day piece of work that delighted me to paint and be back with color lifting my mood and bringing a smile! Roses from my garden right now and inspired to paint them after seeing a beautiful rose by Nacogdoches Photographer Wendy Floyd. I love the light behind her rose and I just used the brightness in this painting! Rose paintings are a favorite. My last one was a yellow rose with water drops on it. 

We have had rain and more rain...floods, hail and tornados forming overhead in the last 24 hours.  The hail was between golfball size and tennis ball size. Literally we have not seen rain like this since 2007.  I rather hope it continues...but not with the hail. In 2007 our temps remained in the low nineties instead of the hundreds and we had rain at least four to five days a week.  I loved it. I believe I would do better living further north- weather wise. I loved living in Ft Thomas KY for weather. That was pure delight. 

Shorter visit today. Need to finish cleaning the house but spent the morning shooting photos of the painting, and cleaning up my brushes. 

My granddaughter, Lady L, was over yesterday and began working on a new painting. I will ask her if I can share it. I marvel at her artistic ability.  I have to spend more time drawing and loosening up again.  The past 18 months have drained us. The Lord has sustained us.   I cannot wait to share her piece in progress and I promise I will! She is 15 now and almost as tall as I am. 

Enjoy your week. I will not post for a few days... dog goes to the vet tomorrow and we are out of food! I see groceries in my future!! 

God bless and keep you!

Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
