© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Mother and Child Oil on Birch  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   DAY 3   Pulled the name early this morning by the number I pulled out. N Burnette is the winner!  Congratulations! I hope every one enjoys the small things and large things that may come your way! We were listening to Jack Hibbs this morning covering Genesis 3:15. " And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed, it shall bruise they head and thous shalt bruise his heel."  Yes. Ripped my heart to tears making our oatmeal this morning. To realize right away God had hope and a plan for us thru Jesus from the very beginning. Our  "celebration" is not just the birth of this wee babe but more focused on the serious gift of our salvation through Him. Not exactly taught the same in traditional church at all as the dearest "SAVING" gift of our path back to God  through His s...

© 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 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...

© 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...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 After the Afternoon Rains Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   My heart is breaking for all that were impacted by the hurricane.  Usually after regular rain, the sun comes out and there is still moisture in the air and everything seems to glow and glisten.  When I saw the shots of Asheville NC and the Artist's Studios under mud and water to the roofs ... my artist heart cannot even imagine.  Many of us do not know the physical devastation of events like this. Living in Texas and at one time about an hour or so from the coast in Nacogdoches for 18 years, we weathered many storms but nothing with devastation that hit Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.  We have friends in Tennessee but I have not heard if they were affected.  It would be awesome if Artists across the United States could come together and do what they did for Hawaii, o...
