Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.  I was just corresponding with a fellow artist close in age and enjoying the comparisons of where we are in life.   We are both in that process of cleaning out our 'stuff' from our past years that is not needed any more, and finding more space and freedom in our lives.    Sometimes in these digging out of closets and cabinets we find things we often wish we had not found.  Have you dug up anything recently from the past? Acts 18:9-10  "One night t

Can you stand a little Silence? Photography by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Carl Hiaasen The Golden Pond... Sunset in the winter, no leaves on the trees in this photo. You might say... bare to the light.  We are indeed bare to God's light in our own 'nakedness'. He can see everything inside and out. Rest on that thought a moment and start explaining... or rather praying.  Isaiah 6:8  "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" and I said, "Here am I, Send me!"

It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste." John Green, Paper Towns This is one of my palettes after scraping a painting. Can you believe the mess?  I never waste it... I always move it onto the next painting.  Looking at the thick paint, you realize the intensity of color and the vibrancy of the palette as a whole.  How do you live your life? Are you constantly scraping off things and losing the best part of you? God created you fully an

Helen Keller  Doors are something we open and close every day.  In our lives doors are opening and closing every day too.   James 1:19-20  "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." #horsepainting  #lauriepaceart  #equineart Lauri

None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives." Jane Austen, Persuasion The Finger Lake Region of NY is one of our favorite vacation spots. This was taken 9 years ago and it seems like yesterday. I wish you calm and beauty in your life today.  Joshua 24:15  "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land y

My sobs lessened and I began to calm myself, leaning tiredly into the the curve of his shoulder. No wonder he was so good with horses, I thought blearily, feeling his fingers rubbing gently behind my ears, listening to the soothing, incomprehensible speech. If I were a horse, I'd let him ride me anywhere." Diana Gabaldon, Outlander Photo taken in Sept 2010 Saugerties, New

Jeannette Walls, Half Broke Horses God is the great creator. His sunrises and sunsets go beyond our comprehension.  He puts forth so much effort in our mornings... yet how many of us go out to watch the sunrise?  (It was much easier at the lake than living in the neighborhood where we are now.)  Then at night he tucks us in under his wings for our rest and sleep with a beautiful good night to the day. Isaiah 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of de

I should have never even tried the other two, but I did and they exist. You cannot duplicate another painting like this. Not possible.  Different time, different situation, different energy... everything is different. I found online from Psychology Today, "We are driven to be seen as who we truly are, yet authenticity takes courag
