Christmas Gift.  by Laurie Pace  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.    1 January 2020 -  I was doing it wrong.   28 years of marriage.  We have known each other over 55 years.  So when he confronted me about his work jeans and told me I was folding them wrong, I almost laughed!   I have always taken pride in taking care of him.   When we married a lmost 28 years ago,  I learned to fold his underwear exactly like he wanted it folded.  ...  Read more here about folding laundry.   Romans 8: 26-28. “In the same way the spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.   And he who search our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.   And we know that in

Helen Keller Woke up early. We had been promised rain and cooler weather…it came and now we are back warm again. I guess it disrupted the sleep pattern a bit. The dog is restless. I put him out and of course the grass is wet so he has to do his business right outside the door. When daylight hits I will be out there scrubbing the patio. Terry is still sleeping. He seems really tired for some reason. I do not think he feels well. We are both pretty worn out from life the past two we

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist So I finished up this painting and hoping it dries for shipping in the next three weeks.  Our weather is so unpredictable.   We have actually had a bit of winter this past week. We had seventies on Tuesday and then a front came through bringing us back in the fifties during the day. Something special about having seasons. My body really likes them! I love fall, winter and spring. I am not

I finished this painting and it will either be in the new gallery opening in Salt Lake City in February OR it will be on my website.   Have you had many of those cliffhanging moments in life? What happened?  Most of mine use to show up in dreams. Lately those moments have faded into the past. It is best to let things go and let God take care of them.   In my readings over the past five years, the most important thi

Sometime in our lives we have annoyed other people. Sometime in our life we have hurt someone's feelings.  Today many of us hold grudges, resentments or thought of revenge against someone or somethings and it will often lead straight into health problems. I love Oscar Wilde's phrase about annoying them more by forgiving them.  It truly will help you move on to more peace and a healthier life.  Through this process y

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Reverence to the Sun  30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I am still adding 'salt and pepper' to the surface and balancing things out. I have sent it to the collectors by images and I do believe we are about finished. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did doing it. I have another day left working on the sides and then waiting to varnish it. Without expectations, this horse painting came to life with a strong spirit. Extraordinary independent spirit. Below are some verses from Luke describing the birth of the baby to Elizabeth. Remember that the father Zechariah was made mute by the Lord when he doubted what the Lord could do... so he carried around a tablet to communicate. When the baby was born everyone knew the proud parents would name him Zechariah after his father. They were older parents and this was obviously something extraordinary.  When it was time for El

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 The Traveler  Contemporary Horse Painting  SOLD 30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas.  This painting has intensity. This contemporary horse painting is a journey in itself as I began a different painting on the surface and discovered it was not where my creativity was smiling, so from that point, Traveler began to take its place on the surface. Rough ragged terrain and a horse crossing over it, blending in with the colors and the spirit. 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. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.  1 John 3:16-18 Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   My Blog          My Website

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.  1  John 1:5   Laurie Pace A Texas Artist   My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards    GALLERY LINKS Mirada Fine Art Denver CO ,   The Rare Gallery Jackson Hole WY   The White Dog Gallery Carbondale, CO.

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Day Break Commissioned Painting  28 x 56 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I was contacted by New River Fine Art for a commissioned painting last year. It has taken about four months to get the details worked out but we are on track and making way.  What helped with this painting is they loved a painting of three horses I did in 2010. The problem was they only wanted two horses and the original was 24 x 30... this is 28 x 56. Quite a huge difference in size and proportion. They have approved the sketch at this point for this new horse painting and away we go!
