© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sun Stretch Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Romans 8:28  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” "So much to do and so little time.” I think it. I say it. I live it. As a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an artist, a musician, a writer, a website builder, a bookkeeper, a cook, a maid, a counselor, a teacher, a planner—and whatever else the day requires—that phrase runs constantly through my mind and out of my mouth. But what is missing? God. This morning, as I woke from a good night’s sleep, I allowed only a brief thought to yesterday. It was not a productive day by any stretch of the imagination. Nothing went as planned. The day turned sideways and upside down. Family came to visit, schedules unraveled, and we didn’t sit down to lunch until 6:30 in the evening. It was one of tho...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Deep Red in Rage Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Deep Red in Rage...  Posting late today at 5:30, but still need to clean up the studio from painting. I painted and then piled more paint and then washed the canvas off late last night. The first layer was acrylic and way better than the oils... Then I go back and look at what I had before I did it.  Red Rage is not that painting... but I am in a period of finding my rhythm in front of the easel.  Enjoy the lush color!!! "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:17 I’ve spent a lot of time in Revelation this week. Something stirred deep within me—my “eyes of the heart” seemed to open, allowing me to see things I had missed in previous studies. As a teenager, Revelation felt like a frightening book. But it really isn’t, once you understand wh...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 He'n and She'n Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace   Color everywhere!   I do have a sale to my subscribed group on my website, and if you are not signed up, I am sorry.  This painting was on it, but no longer.  Half of the paintings that were on sale are spoken for.  I know all the families with little ones are going a bit crazy in anticipation of the holidays and their hope on Santa Claus.  My blog on my website today was pretty heavy on Revelation 21 ... the entire chapter.  Do not forget the true reason for this season. Short blog as it is after 12 noon and I need to be painting. Have spent the morning with work and the sale and with blogging on my website. Have you noticed how close the numbers are on my blog?  I only bring this up at the hundred thousand mark and the one in between at hundred fifty mark.  40,000 away from 400K .  Excited. Tryi...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Strength Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning. .. I am on a wild swing in the studio... battling direction, seeking color, contrast and a different approach. Have not given up yet!  Your life is like that is many ways... the layers of experience, the moves made to go different directions and the choice of people you are with in life.   Revelation 1:18 "I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. some wind." I was also reading in Streams of the Desert this morning... It is really important in life to know your direction and to know our Lord God and Jesus.  If you are walking with Him, please share the message and help others find their way before it is too late. George Mueller's writings are strong: "  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown ...

Reflection Green Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Good morning from Texas!  . ..The cold arrived and it is a slow thaw back to glimpse the high fifties today.  We are staying warm with our new fireplace and just circulating the air in the house.  How is the weather where you are? Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" NIV Are you ready for the holidays?  This beautiful hand crafted angel was a gift of my cousin Kay many many years ago. It is wrapped in Lace and cotton and stored in my dresser.  The highlight of Christmas tree decorating every year is adding this beauty to my tree.    Last year was a difficult year having lost a close young family member.  We did not even put the tree up until a few days before Christmas and did a "Short" list of ornaments with ribbons.   This year we did the same again this year but bought a new 'fake' tree.  I would ha...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Ocean View Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Ocean View was painted about four years ago as a commissioned piece of a family's two dogs.   Thanksgiving week is here.  I am working on preparing Canvas to be delivered to a new gallery in Santa Fe. Throw in creating some books for the gallery and working on WAOW things, along with painting and bill paying... I am busy most waking hours.  Last night we were treated to all night rain with rumbling thunder and dancing lightning adding to the rain concert. We had a on and off time to sleep through it all. It was noisy.   Matthew 10:20 "For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." Busy busy the next few weeks! Have only purchased a few gifts for the grandchildren. We have decided we give them things all year long that Christmas is going to be toned down a bit.  ...
