© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 True Color Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   What is your purpose in life each day? Most mornings I wake up with a list of to do things that cannot be completed.  Question is, are they purposeful things, or just piles of things that even if small, it sucks up 30 min or more.  Philippians 2:1-2  " Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,   2  then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." I have to admit the number of emails I trash everyday is out of control.  I really need to take the two hours and unsubscribe to most of them. The other things that sucks up too much time is Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Once you start rolling... you are gone and lo...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 In His Heavenly Light Oil on Canvas   by Laurie Pace  for my one million follower Walking with Empathy: A Life of Teaching, Faith, and Service After more than forty years invested in the classroom and teaching, one truth has guided my journey: teaching is not rooted in sympathy, but in true empathy. Sympathy observes from a distance, but empathy walks alongside. To teach—whether children or adults—is to understand the whole person: their struggles, their fears, their joys, and the unseen burdens they carry. The years I spent teaching did more than shape my professional life; they blessed me with a deeper understanding of the people closest to me—my family, my friends, and my community. Teaching opened my heart and sharpened my awareness that every individual brings their full life into every space they enter. Compassion is essential for those who are in pain or facing challenges. As b...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sun Stretch Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Romans 8:28  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” "So much to do and so little time.” I think it. I say it. I live it. As a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an artist, a musician, a writer, a website builder, a bookkeeper, a cook, a maid, a counselor, a teacher, a planner—and whatever else the day requires—that phrase runs constantly through my mind and out of my mouth. But what is missing? God. This morning, as I woke from a good night’s sleep, I allowed only a brief thought to yesterday. It was not a productive day by any stretch of the imagination. Nothing went as planned. The day turned sideways and upside down. Family came to visit, schedules unraveled, and we didn’t sit down to lunch until 6:30 in the evening. It was one of tho...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Deep Red in Rage Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Deep Red in Rage...  Posting late today at 5:30, but still need to clean up the studio from painting. I painted and then piled more paint and then washed the canvas off late last night. The first layer was acrylic and way better than the oils... Then I go back and look at what I had before I did it.  Red Rage is not that painting... but I am in a period of finding my rhythm in front of the easel.  Enjoy the lush color!!! "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17 I’ve spent a lot of time in Revelation this week. Something stirred deep within me—my “eyes of the heart” seemed to open, allowing me to see things I had missed in previous studies. As a teenager, Revelation felt like a frightening book. But it really isn’t, once you understand wh...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Strength Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. I am on a wild swing in the studio... battling direction, seeking color, contrast and a different approach. Have not given up yet!  Your life is like that is many ways... the layers of experience, the moves made to go different directions and the choice of people you are with in life.   Revelation 1:18 "I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. some wind." I was also reading in Streams of the Desert this morning... It is really important in life to know your direction and to know our Lord God and Jesus.  If you are walking with Him, please share the message and help others find their way before it is too late. George Mueller's writings are strong: "  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown ...

Reflection Green Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning from Texas!  . ..The cold arrived and it is a slow thaw back to glimpse the high fifties today.  We are staying warm with our new fireplace and just circulating the air in the house.  How is the weather where you are? Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" NIV Are you ready for the holidays?  This beautiful hand crafted angel was a gift of my cousin Kay many many years ago. It is wrapped in Lace and cotton and stored in my dresser.  The highlight of Christmas tree decorating every year is adding this beauty to my tree.    Last year was a difficult year having lost a close young family member.  We did not even put the tree up until a few days before Christmas and did a "Short" list of ornaments with ribbons.   This year we did the same again this year but bought a new 'fake' tree.  I would ha...
