© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Movement of the Wind Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace  aka Elle Pace This is a smaller painting created with a palette knife  and left over paint from another canvas.  This is why the earth tones are rich with the colors that made it. Reminds me of the wild candy canes dancing before my eyes at Christmas with stripes and swirls.  I hope to paint as I finish this blog this morning.  We will see what God brings to my day! James 1:21 " Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you." James' writing has always been a heart tugger for me. It has brought healing in many ways.  He writes the raw truth and wants us each to trust in God.  Does this show up in your daily life?  We are all sinners, but those that trust God will turn from sin.  You can count on 'sin...

Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour. Was a restful night and for this morning's blog I was going to use something from scripture from early morning 5 am,  because this morning I was in my morning Devotion from Daily Bible and here is an excerpt from it, but I encourage you to read the short devotion from...

This is an incredibly strong horse painting that I did at my Lake Studio "Golden Pond Studio back in 2012. It began as a tree painting called "Rooted". (See Below) I love trees probably more than horses...but it was horses the Lord called me to paint for the past twenty five years.  I started and finished the trees on this 40 x 40 canvas, but something did not feel right...    I loved the branches and the green but the ground not so much.   The paint was oil and still wet in the morning and I spent till after lunch debating, and the Horse won. (See the photo below at my sign off below is of the scraped paint.) The painting was finished that night and I put it up on my website and it sold in less than 24 hours. They had to wait until the...
