Cut Away and the Beauty of Life

Cut Away
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


My Taylor Guitar.  It is not mine now, as I traded her in on a Martin. I traded my small individually built Taylor and my Laravee in toward the purchase of my new Martin Guitar.  I played the Martin last night. I bought it right after Christmas but my arm healing took until almost April before I could play again... Six months off the strings and my fingers are a tiny bit sore.  But life and music bring me JOY.   

BTW, I gifted this guitar painting to one of my collectors who plays. Sometimes I want to gift and not sell things. God has given me much.

I have been learning several of Chris Tomlin's songs. They are favorites of my oldest Granddaughter. When I am listening to this music without her here in my studio, I can almost feel like she is here. I can hear her singing with gentle love and full passion of her beautiful voice. This is music she painted to recently.  I decided these are the new songs I am learning on the piano and on my Martin.  Here is my favorite of her favorites!

Indescribable ... Chris Tomlin

"From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

[Chorus]
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God"


You are amazing GOD.... I can hear her like she is in the room with me as I type this blog this morning. 

Romans 12:2  "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

Take this day to find everything amazing you can find. Could be a butterfly on a flower outside your door, or a Red Bird in your birdbath, or the beautiful full fluffy clouds racing across the deep blue sky... There are so many amazing things our amazing God has provided for us.  My precious grand daughters both strong in their faith, see things others may not see each day... could it be their youth?  They are untainted by much of the darkness surrounding us. We must keep His light burning. Keep Him close in heart and leading us and teaching us how we should live our lives. 

I did finish the commission painting I have been working on for the past 8 days....lots of paint. Here are two snaps out of my photo shoot yesterday!  Titled Long in Color!

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday.  It always seems strange as my Dad's birthday here on earth was today. I have only celebrated alone for 11 years and I miss my dad!  SHARING THE JOY There was a reading I studied on Sunday morning early when I woke up yesterday. 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
