" He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Daniel 2:21    I am reminded of a favorite verse from Philippians that we should go to the Lord in prayer and supplication while giving thanks to make our needs and desires brought forth before our God.  We all have needs, hurts, pains, and discouragements right now in our lives. In today’s world, we are all affected physically or mentally by life, illness or need. For many of us, our expectations have not been met, and our feelings are raw. God has promised to answer our prayers…but in his time with his answer. It is best if we lay aside the anxiousn...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Two years ago…  by Laurie Pace   Shop other Available Artwork.  Sign up for my quarterly newsletter and painting sales. I was working on this painting about two years ago. It is the granddaughter of a good friend of mine. Watching her grow up from a tiny newborn to the energetic, vibrant young girl she has become, has been a treasure.  Pulling things from the archive, I hope to be painting again in the next two months. I did paint a small piece yesterday.  5 x 7 in size, but I’m not ready to share yet .  I can just about hear God saying that, ‘ I’m not ready to share yet. ”  With all that has happened in 2023  right to this early morning moment on my blog, I can feel the Lord working on me. It was in December right before Christmas, I surrendered entirely. The studio remained literally upside down….Hubby moved my computer (I cannot use it yet …prob...

The vivid contrasting colors combined with the horizontal movement of the horses across the water accented by the change of light at sunset, creates tha...

" This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" - and I am the worst of them. " 1 Timothy 1:15 Poppies The year was 2006 My colors went opposites and bloomed into these poppies.  I went through a painting period of painting a frame around things in 2007. I painted two of these but this was the first one and my favorite! Nine blooms in the pot and one on the counter. Not really planned, but i know you see the canvas was BLUE and I did the white inset frame that shows up almost all the way around.  Notice how the white/with blue... triangles into the flowers on the left. That brings your eye straight into the painting. The whit...

" This is love: That we walk according to his commands. This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: that you walk in love ." 2 John 6 The Violin The year was 2008 and I believe in the summer or early fall that I completed this painting. The love of music in my life made it like a craving to take this commission of a young girl and her violin.  This painting is in my "Do it with Heart Book" and a break in life showing you more of my roots in the tech age.  I do not have much from before 1998 in photos on the computer.  My style was always more impressionism than it was realism and back then I had tasted the freedom of a pal...
