You can make it a party or a tragedy.” ― Nora Roberts, Vision in White Niki lived this in life and in death.  I met her in 2003 over the internet and she was contacting me about learning to paint.  We had a deep connection as we shared long two hour conversations daily. She was grieving the death of her partner and really reaching out trying to find something to take her mind off her pain and loss.  She did paint for about two years but fell into raising and showing Newfoundland Dogs. She had 6-8 of them running through her

It was unexpected but the good friend knew how much the person was attracted to the painting.  The person searched for me and found my website. It was one of mine... entitled "Prom".  Painted during my pop art period;  I loved the simplicity of painting this group of pieces. They all tol

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just i

I once had a friend named Niki. Pop Art heading to a new home. Ten days ago I had a phone call on my cell phone with the caller ID 'Niki Hardin Home'.  I dropped the phone and immediately and Terry looked at me with questioning eyes.  You see my friend Niki died two years ago.  She had Lou Gehrig's.  I truly hesitated to pick up the phone. As far as I knew her only son had closed out her estate over a year ago.  Sold the house (with the "home phone")..hence my hesitation to get a call from this number. It turned out to be her son.  He wa

She made it all complete. I feel strongly every woman needs a daughter.  She was my total joy. I loved all of my babies when they came, but a daughter is so different. Must be that inner conversation in your head that you know what you want for her as a woman and you pray you can prepare her to make wise choices.   Today Is Stacey's birthday. She was born at 5:05 am. She still

Pop Art Sold Commissioned Painting I love piddling around with the simplicity of pop art.  This was a commission of a good friend as my reflections of her with her  cigarette  and her fainting couch.  She is one of the strongest  people I know in this world.

Pop Art Flower Art Oil Painting ~ "Marco Polo Lily " by Laurie Pace 24 x 36 inches, Oil on Canvas Commissioned by Collector in Switzerland. Contact me for commission work: Laurie © Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2009 " You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor ." Exodus 20:17 A PAINTING A DAY: This was painted a few years ago as a commission painting. I have not had time to take pictures of my work from the weekend yet, so I pulled from my archives. My Thought for the Day: There is a song from Vacation Bible School from many summers ago, when my grandson was only 5. I led the music for bible school and the theme song was "I AM A PROMISE". The words have never left my brain and my grandson is almost 12 now. I think it went like this: "I am a promise I am a possibility I am a promise with a
