Warm with the Sunrise

18 x 27 Oils on Canvas Just finished this morning!

by Laurie Pace

It has been two years since I painted something over the size of 11 x 14. Usually it was 8 x 10 and I can count on one hand how many of those I painted. This pretty horse was painted over the last 8-10 days including the drawing, redrawing and contemplation and painting and more painting! As you know it has been almost 2 full years since I have been actively painting or blogging even. With the illness and death of my mom and my own injury to my right arm, and then a family member struggling... we have been traveling a season that has strengthened our faith.

The great sisters in Women Artists of the West, have been a huge healing power in me the last few months. The board members have walked this path with me sharing their times of family death, life challenges, and it made me realize it was time to paint again. I am thinking a knife painting soon. This was brush. This morning rise Horse painting just happened, but as I look at her, I realize the warm of the sunrise also brought hope for the day, newness of being alive, and the peace of this moment this day. (Make sure you scroll down to the bottom to see the photo of me and the painting!)

This morning my devotional with Streams of the Desert was absolutely what I needed. I will post a link if you want to read it. It deals with the Red Sea and you need Bible history to know about God parting the Red Sea for the Israelites to leave Egypt and get away from Pharaoh. I never stopped to think about us having our own RED SEAS in our live. Things that are there looming that we must 'get through'. Despite what falls or crashes or changes around you, GOD is right there. We must dare to trust Him, and we must dare to follow Him. He is our calm in any trial or storm.

Hubby and I have been in this season of crisis one after the other... and we are ready to start living again and casting it off with the promises God has made to us. He will see us through everything in this earthly journey.

Here is the link for you from You Devotion. I have the Daily Streams You Devotion App and it is truly fulfilling. No matter what storm you are in, look to the Lord and it will ease and eventually resolve. You have got God's Stamp on this. His Promise.

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 ...
