Snow or Sun? Memories of winter when you cannot race the sun.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Racing the Sun Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   First things first.  Day 5 Winner is S Wilson Congrats!!! Do you remember   racing home from a friends house, running as fast as you could? It gets more exciting when others are racing with you to see who gets to your front porch first! It is especially fun in the snow and I believe there is snow on the ground in this painting.  I painted this when my studio overlooked the waters of Lake Cypress Springs, and we had a three or four acre cat fish pond in our backyard. East Texas trees soared all around our home.  My studio had six windows and a glass door leading out to the deck and the trees. Often we could watch the dear scamper across the land dam between the lake and the pond while snow flakes floated through the air. Here was our home.  We had bird feeders everywhere, passion vines growing in the ...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© 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 ...

Gathering for the Run... Wait upon the Lord

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Gathering Run Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Such a beautiful day!  Did not eat the best diet today and I probably gained 5 pounds... but tomorrow I will be prepared! HAHA... not. New Bible Study with food included!!!!  I might mention a large yogurt covered pretzel, and half of a taco rolled with egg inside. (I do not eat eggs... still it was hopeless. Lets change the subject.) The Gathering Run Horse Painting is a favorite with that LUSH LUSH orange and yellow in the center left and right, with pulls that resemble highways on a map.   Can you see the horses?  I think we have four in here.  mmm... maybe five here.  Just spotted another one.   Wish I knew or remembered!  Do you like these?  Any idea why we worry so much? Why did I ask, Do you like these horses? I must go way way back in my life as a worrier. ...

Whirlwinds...Inhibitions and more

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Whirlwind 24 x 36 Oils on Canvas   by Laurie Pace   Going back through past years of painting is really inspiring.  This one lives in North Carolina. It never made the website, I had shared progress pieces on my blog back then and one of my clients said... it is mine. I want it.  Whirlwind has to do with Elijah in the Bible.  2 Kings 2:11 "As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind." Elijah was great prophet and you really need to read to story to grasp it. Some say it foreshadowed Christ's Ascension after his death.   As I study this painting, I truly am motivated to paint. I need to order a new easel as I sold my large one three years ago just before my Mom fell sick. I had been using a smaller one and it just...

Unfolding

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2023 UNFOLDING   8 x 8 inches  Oils on Cradled Panel      Available      Unfolding... each day presents us with a new start and hope for the day.  It unfolds before us. Here in the studio... it is a might be slower than it was in 2022. In most of 2023, I was between home and Dallas with my Mom and most of you know she passed late last year.  We never know what the day will bring as it unfolds. This morning in my reading...  Ephesians 1:7 " In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." And from my Daily Streams " There is no way of learning faith except by trial. It is God’s school of faith, and it is far better for us to learn to trust God than to enjoy life." If you approach this day and each new day knowing God’s infinite wisdom and we...
