Mare and Foal

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Mare and Foal Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   "Always be humble and Gentle. Be Patient, bearing one another in love." Ephesians 4:2    HURRY This time of year finds everyone in a hurry. The days feel shorter, the lists longer, and patience thinner than we’d like to admit. From an artist’s perspective, I notice how quickly we move past one another without really seeing what’s in front of us. We rush to judgment just as easily as we rush through our errands. The mother struggling to manage three children climbing out of a shopping cart while balancing a newborn in a carrier becomes a moment of irritation instead of a moment of empathy. We ask ourselves why the children won’t listen, without considering how full her hands—and her heart—might already be. What about the elderly man at the checkout, slowly unloading his basket, each movement careful and deliberate. In our hurry, ...
RAW BEGINNINGS Contemporary Art Palette Knife Daily Painting Horse by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 24 x 2 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me to purchase: Laurie I finished my book last night. The ending was good with drawing some solid parallels to use in life, but there was no "happy ending" that the adult child changed and went and lived happily ever after.... the adult parent did though and that was important to me.

And Abraham took the knife and lifted it up to kill his son as a sacrifice to the Lord." Genesis 22:9-11 Despite his heavy heart and his anxiety, Abraham followed God's in...
Hearts Horses Oil Paintings by Laurie Justus Pace 24 X 36 inches of Vibrant Color on Gallery Wrap Canvas SOLD Friday dawns and there is a light of HOPE! We have hot water back. The plumber arrived late yesterday and finished up the gas manifolds needed to divert the gas into three directions, the water heater, the new gas furnace and the stove. The HVAC folks are due back in the next hour and will finish hooking up all the new returns they put in yesterday. SO hopefully heat will be here this afternoon as the temps are plunging outside. The fall out is the huge amount of dirt and dust everywhere. It will take us days to get the house back under control but at least it will be warm inside as we work. Together we can do this with the Lord watching over us. He is on guard all the time despite the disparity we often fall into. We have been living here for almost two months as we have struggled with more repairs on this older home. Trying to stay focused on this is even harder when...
