You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance." Jalaluddin Rumi Sunday morning... every morning, it is a joy to wake to God's world He has ready for us. May your day be filled with the treasures and gifts of the Lord. He has them waiting for you. Psalm 68:4 "Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him - his name is the Lord." #horsepainting  #lauriepacear

Toni Morrison, Beloved I never had a sister.  I have some truly good friends that seem to fill that void in life. I grew up with two brothers, one four years older and one 11 years younger. I felt he was more like my child than my brother. Sisters are forever. They love you unconditionally and often know what may come out of your mouth before you say it. That is how JJ was to me when I met her in seventh grade.  We are still friends

It is an expression of someone who is too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole.  Just think about your life.  I know I focus on everything in my day and always weighing my decisions on different outcomes I might chose. I have to stop myself and remind myself that GOD made these forests.... all the details...  but each little tree tends to side track me and I miss the overall situation stuck on small details. Do you do this in your life? Psalm 33:10  "May he

Will Rogers The "Sue" Club.  My middle name is Sue. I do not meet many "Sue"s at all.  My daughter in law's mom is  "Sue" ... and until I met "Sue" from Canada on the internet... that is about it for me.  So all the 'Sue' women I meet, I grow to love dearly.  Sue has commissioned a painting years back and her dear hubby has had me paint a few small ones.  The gift away this month is to Sue... and this gorgeous painting is the

Edward Abbey Seeing the progress shots on this painting is pretty amazing.   Stop and think about what you were like as a one year old.  Then think about age 10, age 20, age 40, and up.  Everything you have experienced is a layer placed in your life no different than this painting.  I will be getting this piece back from a Gallery in Park City Utah.  I want it placed in a home with lots of love.  Contact me if you are interested in this piece

Life narrowed down to 140 characters, staged selfies, and tirades over opinion posts. Life lived for the approval of the masses, all while tearing strangers down for the slightest misstep." Kristen Callihan, The Game Plan Selfie (n): a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media. Well… Selfies are really rare in our family.  We love to shoot just photos of the grands, but Terry was babys

Some of those push faster to the front because they left a stronger impression. Could be happy impression or a sad impression, depending of course of your life and your remembrances. People come in and out of our lives and each of them bring color to those memories and our lives. Some come for a reason. Some come for a season, but others come for a lifetime.   “Reasons" pe

They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To site with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring, it was peace." Milan Kundera So this painting is for the man of the ranch and his baby dog Sock, who ruled the ranch. I loved painting these two precious pieces for the couple of their babies. Blazing through Judges last week... Terry and I read about the Samson and Delilah debacle. Of course I love the song "The Hallelujah" and sing it all the
