"I will always remember painting this piece . I had just started sharing my painting process on Facebook when disaster hit with Facebook and someone posting porn on my personal page and then six imposters hit my Meta account charging $9999 to my paypal account for advertising.  Talk about feeling trampled as FB froze me in every direction allowing those imposters to continue business... I would walk away from the computer and begin work on this painting thinking, dreaming, canvas prep... all of it and finally as you saw in the prior posts, the journey began. It is done and all through the power of God and not me. I felt lost a few times in the middle of it and He pressed me forward. I hope you ...

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 Reflections of Glory  by Laurie Pace - Sold.  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   It was a rainy summer in 2007.  The humidity was high when we went to bed the night before so when the train ran through town at 3:30 am, it seemed louder than normal as the engineer blew the whistle at crossings. 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, ...

Bennett, The Light in the Heart Yep... it is the same painting. Well you are not the same on the outside as you were 10 years ago... life has passed and experiences have changed things inside and outside of you.   This is the same painting but with some final layering of colors with bleed throughs of prior layers.  Takes time with abstract to allow it to 'age' and evolve to whe...

There are hearts painted throughout the piece as well as centralized and it has "GOD" right above the heart.  It is in Lady L's handwriting or printing at the time.
