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 ...

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Rights of Spring Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Monday Monday.... Just love this day! . .. Today I will be shipping off four days of the Days of Christmas 1-4. Today's winner for day 4 is S Dorsey from the state of Texas! Congratulations!  I think I have the perfect fun thing coming your way! The  painting above is a favorite. This is when painting was fun, things were selling and I could not paint fast enough. Not sure what has happened to the freedom and the joy in this world right now, but I am going to continue painting a bit longer! At least I have thoughts to direction.  THAT is a beginning!!  I am also ordering a new smaller easel for my studio then the big Santa Fe 2 I had in here. It became frustrating to move it around.  Hubby has my lights set up and I am thinking this will work! Meanwhile... I am painting it forward! Romans 8:28 ...

Mother and Child - Day 3

© 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...

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.

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...
