"For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don't use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself. But if you bite and devour one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another." Galatians 5:13-15   I remember putting this first book together and weaving into it the daily blogs I was writing. No I did not use ALL of the blogs or ALL of the paintings in 2008, just a variety of ones I did that year. At this time I was painting a little bit of everything, and some were photos from prior years. I am not sure where all the photos are today of those paintings, but I am thrilled my husband found

Beneath I began laying up a few canvas this morning in between running errands, cooking, moving china and cleaning out drawers. Things are always shifting when you least expect it. It is late tonight, already past six. I always used to blog at 6:30 am each morning. Not sure I could get here then, I am on the treadmill each morning by  6:30 doing my 3-4 miles. Usually walk at least 45 min and just trying to squeeze a faster walk in.  I have been in touch with another painter I have know for many years, Elizabeth Chapman. She is an awesome artist and I own  three of her paintings now.  She took a small break from working about the same time I did, and I am still redefining and shifting, wanting to get back to the pleasure of the journey and not

I'm so grateful to be a part of a performance space that's committed to #Americana and #folk music traditions worldwide. # .” ― Queen Esther @queenesthermusic (Instagram 7 Nov 2020) It felt like a tale of two cities but it was more more like a tale of two musicians in two cities. It was in 2002 when my hubby brought home the New York newspaper several times a week that I came across an article on the Apollo Theater doing "Harlem Song" with Queen Esther starring in the production.  I loved the cast photo and was determined to paint it, but not to sell it ever. I sent it to Queen Esther. It was the first ti

If I could wish that for each of you, I would.  Imagine the cold in these woods as the photographer came upon the lake early in the morning. The dark clouds breaking up as the sun breaks through with soft oranges and pinks. I know he paused before the shutter clicked, and he felt the magnificence of the arrival of day, just like a new baby being born... the tiny head rotating out first before the next push brings the full birth.  A new day offers new birth to opportunities, new horizons, new experiences, a chance to start again, to discover something new and live another day.

Something is coming!   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2014  Size: 24 x 36  Not sure. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  I have pre layered torn music and book on this canvas. At this time I do not know what I am painting tomorrow but I am ready! Come back tomorrow for the finished painting. That is how life should be... not be worried about tomorrow when you finish your day... let night refresh you with sleep and keep an open heart and hands for what God brings you tomorrow. I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.
