Stacey was here with Lady L for Easter dinner and our family gathering.  Everyone had left and we were loading the latest and greatest slide show of Lady L  painting and we were just talking. She had been thinking about how every one makes a list of change, new life at the end of the year as New Years rolls across.  She had decided maybe it was more appropriate to do it now.   I agreed with her. I told her now was the time to put it all at the foot of the cross. BUT you have to leave it there... you cannot pick it back up.

Lady L working hard... 24 x 24 inch Acrylic Flower Painting Yep, she is only newly three years old... I have to say Mini Me at work. She took is so seriously and it looks so seriously good.

Beginnings for Lady L   My Mini Me 24 x 24 inches Acrylic I was amazed watching her on the canvas with a piece of chalk...drawing off her flower. She just turned three two months ago. Tomorrow on Easter you will see her finished painting. She will be visiting again tomorrow and I hope she will paint another one! ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie The Pain of Yesterday I lay in my bed wanting the day before to have been a bad dream.  The sun has not broken the horizon yet... and I lay here wide awake remembering. Yesterday was full of fear, anger, death and hope. There had been a meeting of the elders and scribes in the predawn hours.  Peter really did deny knowing Jesus.   But I am just as guilty as I stood in the shadows and watched it all happen. Many witnesses were called but no one could seem to agree on the same thing.  Peter denied knowing him three ti

The Snow Ball 8 x 8 inches Acrylic on Canvas   by Lady L  (age 3)   ndp  This is a painting of a Hostess Snowball by our three year old grand-daughter Lady L.  I did one along side her at the same time, but mine was not as good as hers so mine became a horse of course. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie   She took her work seriously.      The Set up to paint. Reflections When things happen in life they seem to make a permanent mark in our memories. We remember every single detail down to the temperature outside and maybe even what we were wearing. It is those memories that comes back to us for 'reflection' through different times in our lives. The good and the bad memories. Then to reflect on this very Friday back in 33 A.D. is something more than remarkable.  Reading through the gospels and their versions of this day evokes a deep se

It was a Late Supper Scared Destinations I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a cool twilight and a long climb up the stone stairs. I was pretty hungry and eager to see Jesus that night. We were meeting Him in the upper room at Ma

Coco and Lucky 66 x 86 inches Mixed Media on Canvas SOLD Okay, it is drying now and will be varnished and shipped next week to it's new home in Florida.  My studio is going to seem really empty without these two cheering me on each day.    ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Focus Okay, so things are going wrong. Everything is crashing around you.  What is one of the first things you do?  You pray.  If you have not prayed in a while... you begin to ask God to listen this once and your make promises to do better or be better.  You try and make a deal with Him.   Focus my friend focus.   Every day you are focused on everything but God.   Every day you are busy doing everything but without God.   So instead of focusing on the problem at hand, focus on God.  Focus on the cross.  Focus on God's promises.   It is through God's

Cat and Dog Portrait almost done! 66 x 86 inches of PAINT! Hopefully today I will put the last touches on this painting. I cannot wait to finish it and I know the collectors cannot wait to get it. I will be making their collectors book this week to. Those are hardback coffee table books created of the painting from first sketches to final varnish tied in with some family contributions. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012 Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Pit of your Stomach They say the 'pit of your stomach' is where fear or nervousness strikes first. Fear seems to be the thing that holds us back from enjoying our life or trying new things. Fear keeps some of us on the run. Terry has always said fear controls nations. Fear controls people in masses.  Post Game Mayhem Kentucky Let's face it, fear controls individuals daily. We empower others to control us through fear. Aut

Father Jack comes out faster).  He has taken this season of Lent and truly led us through an emotional growing period tying together highs and lows,  suffering and grace, life and death.... unconditional love,  bringing our lives to the cross and taking us through painful back memories to help us learn the grace of forgiveness.  Yesterday it was about the 'red carpet' treatment.  As he spoke of his 'red carpet' walk as he retired from the Navy...it sent me off thinking about red carpet moments in our own lives.

Where Were You When They  Crucified my Lord? 24 x 30 Oil on Canvas Private Collection Sold This was painted back in 1998 if I remember correctly. I still have my sketches and have often thought about visiting the sketch again with a new painting. My style has changed and hopefully grown since this time. I know the person that has it literally found it too graphic. But when I think of the pain He endured for us... it was beyond our sight and thoughts. ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2012  Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie      Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when He was looking for you? Where were you on September 11, 2001? Where were you just before they crucified my Lord? Where are you today?
