It is important to live our faith every day so it  becomes a part of our working mind and our lives.  I posted this on Facebook This morning to close friends which included my family. " I am praying for all three of my children, and my Mama too . Praying for all my grandchildr

OUT of the WILD... Life changes quickly when you are not ready! Laurie Pace Texas Artist

In process above is the painting for the wolves at the opening of this blog. This is the first time I have shared this painting and I did it almost 7 years ago. I love the spirit of the wolf and how it is keenly tied to nature for survival.  When I start paintings, I always ask the person I am painting for, if they have a favorite Bible verse or poem or saying or phrase... to put on the foundation of the canvas before I even begin.  If you want a special painting, please reach out to me and let's get it started!  This has been a heart filled week of prayers surrounding life changes in our family. You really do not 'get it' till it all begins to crumble on top of you. I find my prayers to God increasing triple fold these days and my constant head conversation

A Season of Thanksgiving with Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2020 A Season of Thanks | Life After Sixty  by  Texas Artist Laurie Pace  Visit Ellepace.com to see available artwork.   “Eucharisteo—thanksgiving—always precedes the miracle.” ― Ann  Voskamp Terry and I were sitting here tonight talking about Thanksgiving memories together.  We both grew up in common households about a mile from each other... Family gatherings were the main stay, along with great food, laughter and love.  My mom went the over the limit with thick linen table cloths, fresh flowers, a huge menu of German delights and pies of every flavor. Between my two brothers and Terry and me, our children and later grandchildren, the numbers grew each year!  Do you have great memories of Thanksgiving? What did your family do or how did you celebrate it?  This year will be different... our family is not gathering. We are all staying home. Terry and I stayed pretty well quarantined for the last 10 da

Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 " When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind."

The Thought: First I want to honor the day of my husband's birth... with a loving memory of his wonderful mother, Bobbie Jean, who died 14 years ago.

A Painting a Day ~ Colorful Kisses of Spring ~ Flower Oil Painting by Laurie Pace No. 189 Colorful Kisses of Spring 30 x 40 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting A Day: Only occasionally do I find myself pulled into working on a painting as I did this one. Working on a large canvas surface of 30 x 40 inches, I knew the goal was color, life, brilliance, softness and intensity. This sets up a definite conflict of interest but a positive gathering of elements in the composition. Memories of my Grandmother's flower garden in the center of her horseshoe drive at her farm outside St Louis, led me to want to create something as fresh and soft as those moments when I would walk through the small paths often in flowers as tall as I was. I cannot count the layering that went into this painting and the depth of color and paint are astonishing. It is available for a good offer. Currently as it cures out, it hangs in my home gracing the walls with the kiss of spring.
Three in the Field Contemporary Art Horse Equine Daily Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 6 x 6 inches Oil on linen canvas $100.00 SOLD at 5:30 am Eastern Time January 19th. Contact me to purchase: Laurie These three horses speak to me of Family. As Terry and I wait in quiet anticipation for Lauren Gracen to be born into our family, we remember and celebrate how Adam and Eve must have felt when they created their first child and Eve gave birth to Cain. God's creating continued...He only let us believe He was done....and today He is still at work 24/7. It is His divine process that makes conception and birth possible. We always think of this happening involving the creation of this child due to the parents, but it was the third presence of God that truly made it all possible. This child grows up as all children do, learning to be independent; yet always with this child is the indwelling spirit of God. Celebrate Family today.
