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...

Mountain Pony 10 x 10 inches  Oil on Canvas SOLD Rich earth tones, buttery paint and a palette knife created this unique horse painting by Laurie Pace.    ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Answered Prayers Would you believe it is 58 degrees outside? Terry and I debated if we could chose just rain or cooler temps what would it be...and we both said rain.  God didn't agree so He sent cooler temperatures. It was the perfect morning for an early walk. When cold fronts come through the sky is very blue . His gentle touch of wispy clouds gave the feeling of lightness  as they floated in the early morning sky.  Within in hours we saw a hurricane to our eastern state and knew a cold front was coming our way. It meant no rain for us, but we will enjoy the cool mornings this week.  We watched as the rain disappeared off the r...

'Indian Paint Ponies' 18 x 27 inches Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase, mention the title of the painting: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting: Visceral application of paint yesterday in this unique approach. The value of composition and balance were predominant over the actual object in the painting. The telling layers of paint truly build the composition outward in a dimensional form. The Thought : Terry proclaimed today he would be working on the master bathroom. We are both tired of the trip down the hall to the hall bathroom at all hours of the night. We have Tink coming today. We have not seen her in quite a while, so I am in full anticipation of a wonderful day. I am also in full anticipation of the day we can have this house NOT full of tools and construction. We have lived this way for 18 months now. I had no clue 18 months ago that I would still be working on bathrooms this far into the process. When you sit back and t...

'Young Arabian' 30 x 30 inches Mixed Medium Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Picture : Playing in paint again with layer of acrylic and varnish. The background are wipes of quinacridone Orange and then subsequent layers of whites and different values of the orange, tinted with bits of green gold and red. The Thought : At this moment I could close my eyes and go back to sleep. Not a bad idea. Yesterday I was up at five and road into Grapevine with Terry to meet my daughter. We did the "open open open" in front of Khols and then made a few other shopping stops along the way. I anticipated my eldest needing sheets for his son's new bed and Stacey and I bought sheets, blankets etc to make it nice. I cannot wait to go and visit. Often we make preparation ahead for what is happening in our lives. The main trick would be to make preparation spiritually for lies ahead. God wants us always rea...
