© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 West by Northwest Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Day 2 of the giveaway. I am excited it is also another collector over the past 14 years.  D. 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. Gave me a quick minute tonight to post the drawing name.  We had a busy day yesterday and today...both days running around Dallas. 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... Left us filled with the joy and awe of Christmas.  Another short post...but  a great Bible verse tonight:  Philippians 2: 12-15 " Therefore, my dear...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Painted Ponies Gathering Three Sunrise Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Each of my painted ponies has a different approach or flair. This is fresh like spring for me and lots of sunlight.  I mentioned yesterday I wanted to share about something that happened Saturday.  We were on our way to our grandson's baseball game and the sky was a beautiful blue and just a handful of clouds. I glanced up and was mesmerized by the clouds and the back lighting and contrast in several of them that were gathered together. Light playfully filtered through. I felt instant joy.  Let me type that again, I felt instant JOY.   We know God gives us challenges. We know He walks before us... with us... and guards behind us . That and only that has sustained us through the last two years marked beginning Oct 5, 2022.  From Oct to the end of Dec was a journey I care ne...

" Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

I love this painting. It was done in January of 2010. Looking back through at some favorites inspires me before I paint today.  I am starting a paint it forward piece for someone that needs inspiration and light and color in their lives right now. My art is a gift from God and it is a privilege to use it to lift up hope and love.    The Race is On I remember these days in my second most favorite studio, the one before the lake. We had purchased a 1955 home built by an architect that studied under Frank Lloyd Wright.  400 sq feet... in a house I could have lived in my whole life and loved. Curved walls, open space soaring ceilings... even the master bedroom had a spiral stair that went up to a lib...

When I chose the painting for my blog today , I wanted my verse from my Bible to reflect the journey of taking a trip. Everyone reacts differently to travel. If you are like me... you don't get nervous until the day of the trip. but once I begin the journey, I find a peace and calmness. This verse refers to the speaker or writer as being old and not young.  I am definitely closer to the old over the young and this speaks to and from my heart to you.  Every day is a journey in your life and you know not what is ahead.  " The Lord makes firm the steps  the one who delights in him;  though he ...

Starting a new painting today with too many ideas floating in my head!   I am known for my Painted Pony Pulls but only have done maybe four in the past five years.

Yesterday and now Today The church bulletin yesterday..."There are very few REAL emergencies."  and "If you are lucky, you are currently between emergencies." Well, it caught my attention.
