The nearest crossing to us was only two blocks away.  I knew I would not go back to sleep, so I gently pulled back the sheet and quietly tiptoed to the door. The dogs were asleep as I quietly walked by... thankfully the studio was on the other side of the house. I left Terry sleeping soundly. Little did I know that I was about to paint one of my lifelong favorites. Reflections of Glory.    Read more... “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, ...

My earthly father always taught me to not listen to the words of those that try to undermine you.  If God is your constant, let Him define you. Go forth in His light forgiving them as He forgives you each day.  When I saw this creek next to the road in Virginia, I had Terry pu...

It was one of those images of yellow with printing on it and no referral to where the origin was.  The message was deep for such few letters in finding happiness: "Free your heart from hatred.   Free your mind from worries.  Live Simply.  Give more.   Expect less."

Low times of grief are needed to provide the contrast to joy and fulfillment. Comparing it to music is looking at the 'harmony' or lack of harmony, which is  dissonance . Cognitive dissonance refers back to the core of life and living.  Conflict or incongruity. There is a vast collection of music in the world with thousands of voices, instruments and infinite ways to arrange notes together to create something unique.  Music is m...

Three of Color 8 x 10 inches  Oil on Canvas   Available through Mirada Fine Art. Contact Steve.     © Laurie Justus Pace   Graphics One Design 1998-2011   FAST TRIP We left early yesterday to drive into Dallas to pick up large sheets of cardboard and the framed paintings from The Dutch Art Gallery. Pam is by far the best framer in the US... really truly true. Levi grumbled when Terry put a hole in the back brown paper on one piece but he redid it for us and we actually made it back home by 1:30 in the afternoon.  Good thing we did as both dogs decided the extra veggies Terry fed them last night did not agree with their constitution and they both had the runs.  We were airing the house out for hours...but all is good now. Fast Trip... hurry hurry hurry . Isn't that the way our lives seem today?  I was so relaxed going in yesterday that the trip in flew by us both.  We were at Uline at the appointed time.. and stopped at ...

Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2011  Exciting moments in life often leave treasured memories. Shopping at the Evil Empire gets to me to begin with, but going there with Tink added new dimension. Terry and I are NOT Walmart shoppers and we consider it the Evil Empire for several reasons... so many products NOT made in the USA and the store presents so much temptation to buy and buy and buy. Shelves of temptation. BUT that is where we went with the Tink... to buy her some new play shoes. Her room swallowed up her old ones and she had on her reserve shoes. We breezed through the card aisle to grab a TINKERBELL birthday card..for guess who.  AND we bought one for mommy too. Then it was off to the kids area to look for Tinkerbell shoes...and on the way some clothes fell in the b...
