Scott Fitzgerald.  The Great Gatsby It took a few extra weeks, like six of them, for summer to arrive here in the Dallas Ft Worth area of Texas. The temps the last few weeks were in the 100-105 area with heat index about 10 degrees higher. We had a cool front come through which gave us a few cooler days but we are back over 100 again now.  AUGUST is here.  The painting above was painted last summer when we saw 100 plus for months in a row,  I kept things simple with a simple palette. August is the month I turn my thoughts to September.  At the top of the thought list is Cooler Nigh

We both reacted quickly and hit the back door with slippers forgoing our boots.  The tent had been staked firmly into the ground and been up for the past week sheltering our young peach tree from the summer burn of a week of 105 plus temps (heat index well over 110).   The tent was upside down and push into the branches of a large red oak mid yard.  The tent would have been in Waco by now if it had not been for the tree.  It took both of us wrestling the metal stand to hold it still while Terry unhooked the velcro holding the tent to the frame.  We maneuvered it the best w

I had to get back to work at the easel.  I had left over paint and I love using left over paint.  Tomorrow you will see the final of this one, just the beginning and then the end!  Yes it will be horses.  Is is a smaller size too, so it will be offered from my studio to you.  See you in the morning with a new painting! Philippians 2:3-7 - Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.  Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant

Nature surround us ... and lately with inches and inches of rain to a thirsty drought stricken wooded area.

They happen to all of us. Sharing a prayerful life that includes the needs of others.  We have to look beyond the temporary that surrounds us and focus on God's perfection... God's perfection for each of us. The power is among us and as we gather together that power is multiplied. This is the presence of Christ.  Honoring His presence in others and lifting them up.  No matter where you are today or what you are doing... stand in line and pray for others. At the next red light, pray for others. Every moment offers the opportunity to bless others and pray for them. You are enfolded in love... Words of my Heart, Laurie "I pray that... Christ

Faith A Time for Everything There is a time for everything,  and a season for every activity under the heavens:   a time to be born and a time to die,   a time to plant and a time to uproot,   a time to kill and a time to heal,   a time to tear down and a time to build,   a time to weep and a time to laugh,   a time to mourn and a time to dance,     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,     a time to search and a time to give up,   a time to keep and a time to throw away,   a time to tear and a time to mend,   a time to be silent and a time to speak,   a time to love and a time to hate,   a time for war and a time for peace. Nowhere in here do you see a time for worry.  We

Immediately he feels he has done something wrong.  How did we get here? Does not seem like a healthy reaction, especially when I am not frowning. I have known him for 48 years of my life. I know him pretty well. How can you improve your current relationship?  I know as we talked last night I literally prayed before responding to some touchy things we were discussing.  I stayed quiet and sought oneness with the Father before replying. I did not want to speak out of emotions and not from my heart

You read about it. You shudder not wanting to read about almost like you want to keep your distance from it in case it is 'catching'. When my father was diagnosed with it many years ago, we embraced it as it happened as a family, but did not realize the burden our mother carried as she tried to keep things 'normal'.  She has grown a great deal since those first years as it almost cost her own life caring for him. Over the past years we have read and implemented various things into the mix to deal with this disease as we watched it march through our f

"Epsilon" Abstract Horse Painting in Progress 30 x 40 inches Mixed Media Painting Still watching direction on this one...stay tuned for final shots in the next few days.   © Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011      Waiting As I work on a painting in my studio I am always waiting and watching the direction of growth as the painting develops under my brush and/or palette knife.  I wrote yesterday about "in the mind's eye".  Today I spent another three or four hours on this piece and it is evolving with the layering of all the paints and the changing of contrasting colors building on each other. There are quite a few hours yet to be to travel with this one and I will wait patiently as I paint. I am in waiting for that inner feeling that my job is complete and the painting has reached the point of 'finish'. We all seem to do a lot of 'waiting' in life. Often we are waiting on others instead of concentrating on waiting on God. Wai
