Pastor Jack wanted more...and this is what come from his gently prodding.  God seems to prod us in the same manner.... Thank you Jack for believing. Grace Possessed Weeping tears wash dust from rock but not from hearts of gray Silent thoughts scream with echoes of memories past, blocking light of day As mounting high out of reach piling beyond the limits of my mind. Can I climb the pile to the highest point to see what I might find? Only through the giving of His grace can I clean my heart of hurt. Only then will I see through grace the cleansing of the dirt. A single stone to remind me of the light that falls...

Mountain Appaloosa SOLD at Mirada Fine Art. Thank you Steve! Oil on Canvas      ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Accepting Helplessness  Depending on Divine Power Helplessness is a basic human condition. For those of us who like control in life, this is hard to swallow. While we try continually to grasp and deal with the world around us, we eventually find we truly are helpless. What seems to be easy for us to observe as actions needing to be done, cannot always be done. Something or someone stands in the way.

'Appaloosa Small' 5 x 7  Oil on Canvas SOLD from the Blog today! Thank you!! Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 I have fought it long enough and decided to start putting small paintings up for sale. Usually by now I have more accomplished and off to Galleries but with the Artist of Texas show and all our family things this fall, I am behind.  It is good for you though to pick up some small pieces at good prices.  I am going to continue doing horses but want to work larger again. The small ones lack the loose freedom I have with the palette knife.   I painted this afternoon and finished two more small ones you will see over the next few days. It is growing dreary with rain outside and is suppose to be cooler this weekend.  I love this weather!  Terry finished painting our bedroom yesterday and next step will be drapes to finish it...

It is just after nine as I am typing away. I was awake briefly at 4, but went back to sleep...but not before I begin to wrap my thoughts around what I wanted to write about this morning. WHO ARE YOU? Thinking about our own conceptions of who we are was wrapped in my brain.  "Self-concept is simply what you understand about yourself. It differs from self-image because it involves your social abilities and character, physical appearan...
