© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Single Run Pony Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   This is one of the best expressions with my knife and thick paint piling high.   I say that because there is a before and after and I continue past where I was in this horse painting. You can see there is not any thing reaching out with colors except the movement of gold yellow on the top of the head into the neck. I love it when I see one with photos of before... NOPE... not done and the final painting above carrying through to add color.  Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”   This morning I am going with my daughter and granddaughter to watch our second oldest grandson compete in swimming for special olympics.  Hubby will stay here as we have Ecosafe coming to deal with the ants in the yard....

Thinking I should maybe do some small paintings and put them up for sale like I did with these years ago. Maybe I can do that after all!   This is one of my wild things and it truly makes this artist smile ear to ear!!!  Acts 3:6 "Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Several of my readings this morning had to do with giving of all you have in talent, in possessions, in teaching, in touching and reaching out to others... that my friends is serving our Lord with those talents, possessions, and prayers. All we do should be in God's name and for His Glory. There is much in my mind this morning...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Better Together Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Better Together a beautiful Horse Painting that was a commission.  Mama Horse and four young horses different sizes of course. The older ones are further in the back and two closer are the babies! Mama is the front horse on the left. 1 John 3:16 "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." 1 John 3:11–18  speaks of opposites in emotions. The contrast between hate and love.  If you are a Christian believer, love is deeply rooted in your being.  Being the opposite of love, evil is simply a jealous hatred for goodness of love itself.  If you are faith filled, love is expected along with selfless sacrifice such as laying down your life for others.  Christians are expected to do more than feel love, they are to act and ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Watering Hole Crested Butte Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Mirada Fine Art and Laurie Pace   Watering Hole Crested Butte is a contemporary representational abstract horse painting . This definitely entices me to paint blindly like this and see what can be created again. I do have one in process right now but realized I need to let go further!  Matthew 8:8, 13 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. 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...

Looks like spring!!! 1 Peter 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."  Easter was a beautiful day despite all the storms the night before with tornados and hail and strong winds.  This time our area was to the east and missed most of the harsh weather by only 4-5 miles to our west. Thankful for sure. The sun broke out by about eleven and the day was beautiful. We had steady rain through the night and I know all my plants and trees are ...

Today I will be shipping off four days of the Days of Christmas 1-4. Today's winner for day 4 is S Dorsey from the state of Texas! Congratulations!  I think I have the perfect fun thing coming your way! The  painting above is a favorite. This is when painting was fun, things were selling and I could not paint fast enough. Not sure what has happened to the freedom and the joy in this world right now, but I am going to continue painting a bit longer! At least I have thoughts to direction.  THAT is a beginning!!  I am also ordering a new smaller easel for my studio then the big Santa Fe 2 I had in here.

Sharp, something is coming your way!    I am trying not to listen to TV and hubby has all the things on about the drones and other things that are not my favorite.

Could not leave today without a burger from Becks on Preston and Forest.  We got it to go... and I got a salad.... Made it home with 20 min to spare and we were off to church for the Christmas Music presentation. Over two hours of beautiful music, singing and praising...
