Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn't, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... ANYTHING can happen, child. Anything can be."  Shel Silverstein I cannot remember if this was the original one done in about 2005 or the recreation done in 2011. Two young sisters walking in the garden. I am almost certain this is the older piece.  The young ones seem to follow in the footsteps of their older siblings as they begin to learn about life and their own strengths

I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one." John Lennon This pulled pony reminds me of a dream... with soft rainy colors and not much yellow or gold.  It lulls me when I look at it, lulls me into a dreamlike state. I am not clear that the world will ever live as one. We are all too individual.  Our beliefs will not ever line up because we all believe in different things.  My God may not be your 'god'.  My love of vanilla ice cream will never be your favorite,

I know the joy that the golden brilliance brings the woman that wakes to it. This is the part of my gift I love the most, knowing the place in the heart that each one settles.  James 2:17 "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."    #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Laurie Pace A Texas Artist

Its individual pieces are arranged to create harmony. Appreciate the artwork of your life." Amy Leigh Mercree, Joyful Living When creating artwork you constantly are balancing composition, color and emotions. This was a small collage used for a company needing to create something much larger.  Life is indeed a collage and we choose what pieces we pick up to keep in our life.  Why do we keep some of the worst?  Gather up the pieces and learn to leave behind what is not needed in your life... all the anxiety and fears that keep you from growing stro

Jonathan Swift Sailing.  Nothing seems greater than being on a sailboat and feeling the wind pushing you across the water. I miss our sailboats. I would love to surprise Terry with one this next year. It puts life back into perspective in so many ways.

Trish Yearwood Every time I think of the floods from Houston and Harvey, I remember the stories of not just the people, but those of the animals, horses, dogs, livestock... One call out on FB was from a frantic horse person that discovered a large group of horses stranded by water.  A fence would have to be cut, horses had to be lead out of the area through deep water and then there needed to be horse trailers for them and a rescue place as well. But in less than 30 min, the area was full of peopl

Langston Hughes Here is the final painting... for me there is emotion building through the colors in the dress, the skin, the hair...and then the water and the beach.  Life has all of this in it for us too.  We just seem to miss it. Take the time and see it. Stop and observe what you have been blessed with.  Do not be a broken-winged bird.  "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1

Eleanor Roosevelt This was a painting I did a few years back and it is in the home of a young woman I love like a daughter. She, like me, gains strength from water... from being near it, seeing it, feeling it. I loved using my knife and creating the movement in the water. Next post the final painting.  Do not miss out on life LIVING... challenge yourself and go and see the world. Job 38:4-7  Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretc
