Pablo Picasso Even in Dallas we get our fair share of dust storms from west Texas. You can see it coming across the horizon in the west and the sky begins to turn a murky yellow. You have about 20 minutes to get where you are going and get everything buttoned up and shut in the house.  The dust begins blowing through and it is worse than fog because it hurts if you are out in it. It stings and bites as it hits your face and your arms. You definitely should not try and breath and it will scra

Adding more layers of Acrylic today.  Still not very strong standing for very long and hoping to beat this bronchitis soon!   © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Whirlwind 24 x 36 inches Oil on Canvas.   Short blogs but at least I am doing them again!  Just spoke with AOT artist Melissa Doron and her entire family is down with the crude, hoping it is not the flu.  I know the media has a job to keep people listening. Our family knows ALL too well about the flu as that is what took my grandson, Grant, from us five years ago, from complications to the flu.  Yes, Flu shots are important, but even more important is NOT going back to work sick. NOT going to the store. NOT going out to eat. The media needs to stress this even more. I asked our son-in-law who is in the know if restaurants tried to send sick workers home.  The answer was NO.  They would be short handed, so this time of year may not be the best time to go

SOLD  The painting has changed names again... and I believe it is because of the power of the horse in this painting. The incredible strength pulsates throughout the painting. Hope to be almost finished tomorrow but I have to send images to my friends to see if I am still no the right track. Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Summer Horse 57  SOLD By Texas Artist Laurie Pace    8 x 8 inches Oil on Canvas   100 Horses for 100 Days of Summer for $100 each. Horse Paintings from my studio daily through out this summer. I am trying to focus on the joy of painting instead of the heat of summer, so now is the perfect time to collect a Pace Palette Knife Pony. Be Still It's a dicy situation... life is at least. Our busy lives keep us cut up and divided in too many ways. There are literally not enough pieces of us to go around.  Joy is learning to be still in Him. Joy is learning to be patient in Him.   Be still before the Lord  and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways,      when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;     do not fret —it leads only to evil. Psalm 37:7-8 Words o

Summer Horse 55  SOLD By Texas Artist Laurie Pace  8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas   100 Horses for 100 Days of Summer for $100 each. Horse Paintings from my studio daily through out this summer. I am trying to focus on the joy of painting instead of the heat of summer, so now is the perfect time to collect a Pace Palette Knife Pony. This painting is a horse pausing at water...or watching his own reflection...or preparing to drink. Commitment to giving it up.  Giving up YOUR way and doing it HIS way. The reward of His grace and light will fill every corner of your life. This light will guide you in the darkest moments to find your way. This grace will fill your every need. Commit your way to the Lord;      trust in him, and he will act.   He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,     and your justice as the noonday. Psalm

God blesses us with "Morning Glories" all the time.  We miss many of them w

On my Easel in Progress: 30 x 40 inches Oil Each day I approach this horse painting waiting and watching with my eyes as light from the day travels across the canvas.  I love seeing the layers magnify and come alive.

Writings and articles that truly meant enough for him to cut out and save in a folder.  There were not many, but what was in there was powerful. "Imitate your way to success, researcher says"....  written by  Maury M Breecher . I had to google the name to see who it was. The article was from 27 years ago. I did find a website

On my Easel in Progress: 30 x 40 inches Oil Really not sure  what direction I will end up. I have been working this horse painting this week. The paint is very thick and there is no impasto mixed in. Try as I may it is hard to paint with out color, so I know it is coming soon.  Watch for progress tomorrow. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Where do you rest? We were up at three this morning.  Terry's tummy was not smiling.  When I dropped peppermint oil on his tummy and turned on his heating pad, he was swiftly snoring away. I laid there and rearranged pillows trying to get comfortable after being awakened so abruptly. I kept those squirrels in my head at bay... and my mind begin to lay things at the cross again. Anything that trickled into my head trying to steal my peace was purposely left at the foot of that cross. Suddenly a mantra poppe

Max and Lucky, Abstract Horse Painting   FINISHED! Commissioned Painting SOLD 4 ft by 4 ft  Oil on Canvas    ©Laurie Pace  Graphics One Design 1998-2011 Contact me for work: Laurie   A SENSE OF HUMOR I know I have talked about God's sense of humor in the past.  Make a plan and He is chuckling in heaven. With Lady L here we have to maintain a sense of humor.  I laughed till I cried when I walked out to find her doing her Oreo Cookie dippings and decorating her Miss Piggy book with her new Cinnamon Cheerios .  Catch the cheerio on the eye!  This precious two year old keeps us hopping.  Terry ask me last night, "How many grandparents does it take to change the diaper on a two year old?"  We both sat and figured out probably three to four.  That little miss has strong legs and if you just pull her out of warm bath that she does NOT want to be out of, she throws a royal fit. Other than that she is pretty good about eating and sleeping. I remarked to my musi
