On The Run at Sunrise?

Always on the run?

Always worried things are catching up to you and you have to run faster.

Early morning we start out on a slow pace...

Looking around and taking in our surroundings.

The sun has broken through with morning light and we are newly awakened to the day.

We begin our day and seem to fall right in line behind others, following their path and their way.

It may not even be the direction we are suppose to be traveling, but it seems safe, others are doing it too. We stay sheltered and hidden in the shadows hoping no one will single us out.

Reflections of Glory

18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas

The Original Horse Painting is SOLD, but prints are available

on Fine Art America.

This horse painting was one of my most popular paintings. The original was painted in 2007 and sold the first day I had it on the blog.

Contrasting color palette and the reflective water brought intensity and dissonance to what would normally be a quiet moment of a

horse drinking water.

Choices in Life...

What do I do now?

Making decisions in life is often not only challenging but can be overwhelming as well.
Looking back at life there can be questions as to some of those choices.

Bad decisions from the past are mistakes we must make amends for within our minds as well as with those that were affected by them.

It is not possible to move forward until you can forgive and ask for forgiveness.

How does one make better choices today and in the future?

COMFORT in HIM

Life moves forward around us every single second. Those seconds make minutes and those add up to days, months and years. Moments can be filled with joy or sorrow, peace or chaos, but through it all despite discontentment or circumstance I must trust that God's hand is in everything. I have to turn to Him.

Truly making a day would be impossible with out His presence in our lives. Some days are harder than others when the situations involve those I love and I feel so helpless to meeting their needs. I have to remind myself, only God can meet those needs not me. In the depths of 'hell' the only source for good and light is the Father.

You will find if you can get to that place of relying on Him you will have balance in the moment and regain your ground. This works through times of discord and despair.

God brings harmony if you are listening and waiting on Him and through this you will find peace.

Laurie

SEEDS to plant....

In this non-relenting heat watermelon has become our friend. We buy the seedless one and usually pick up a smaller melon so it does not go to waste. Nothing tastes better than a shake of salt on a slice of cold watermelon. YUM! This new variety of seedless makes me wonder how they keep growing them if there are no seeds from the fruit to spread and create new plants.

Morgan called earlier and was sharing his day and mentioned he and Kelly might do some community service together on the weekends. We were talking about planting seeds of kindness in our days. Simple seeds go back to my typical adage of share a smile it goes a mile... or as I suggested to Morgan open a door for someone and say good day to them. Those simple things can change a life.

Traveling last summer to upper state NY was a trip of seed planting as well. Many new friendships were made and days of art and sightseeing shared, and Jamie Grossman gave generously of her hospitality to Terry and I in the Saugerties area of New York. I was thrilled to meet her and Gretchen Kelly. Jamie planted seeds in me in early 2009 when Artists of Texas came into being after she blogged about the gathering of the NY artists to paint in the Hudson River Valley area.

The beauty of our September 2010 trip to New York state has stayed with Terry and I. I do believe if NY did not have state income tax, we might pack it up and move north.

This was taken of the evening sky at Jamie's country home. It was absolutely stunning. I took many images as she toured us through the countryside and I am just now getting to them and hope to use them in some of my work. More Jamie seeds planted.

May this light of Heaven fill your life with God's love and grace. Go and plant a seed today.

Sharing the Love

We are home after being gone almost a week. We saw my mom and dad and our daughter, son-in-law and our precious grand-daughter Lady L. We drove home early afternoon yesterday and were busy remembering so many precious moments with Lady L.

Every morning when she wakes she is so excited about the day... she is two and a half years old. She wakes with out worries or fears...just happy to be awake and cannot wait to see another face smiling at her. She throws herself into her day looking for joy in everything. She loves sharing her toys with us and playing. She and her 'Bampa' did a lot of that today.

I watched her carefree movements and marbled at the beauty of being so child like in innocence... which is where we need to be as adults with God. TRUSTING so easily and not worry about anything in the future. We are to be enjoying the NOW.

Mother Teresa once said, "It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters." I feel this applies to our life daily... how we rise from sleep to our day... it should not be the magnitude of what lies ahead in our actions either... but simple love and trust as we make our day. What are our intentions? Show love with all things. Demonstrate your faith. Share the light with others.

This will attract or reflect back to you in life unlimited good and you will feel more fulfilled each day.

Laurie

CROSSING OVER

Sometimes there is a long bridge ahead in life. The bridge is crossing over open deep gorges of things unknown that are lost in a dark mist. The bridge is so long you cannot see the land on the other side, and yet you have no choice but to move forward and cross the bridge. You are paralyzed in fear before you even begin with the first step.

How would you cross over? Easy answer for me who does not like to drive. If it were a driving situation I typically hit a bridge and go fast fast fast....I figure if I go slow the anguish and fear have longer to take hold of me... so it is easier to take a deep cleansing breath and increase my speed to cross knowing full well God is right beside me in the process.

But what if the bridge is soooo long that you cannot do that? Whether by foot or by the use of transportation...it is a 5 mile bridge.

In life there are always times and occurrences that loom before us like the unending bridge. We have no insight as to what is on the other side of the bridge and the alternative route of climbing through the rocks below and wading through dark foreboding streams is not acceptable. God has made it clear to us that our path is only on this bridge and it is only one way and there is no other choice left open to us. Things are out of our control, yet GOD is not out of our grasp. He is right there.

He will walk you across that bridge. He will carry you across that bridge. The importance is your acceptance to give up control and have total faith in the upcoming journey. He wants you to view it as something with possibilities and keep your mind open while you listen for His directions in your life. Don't assume anything. Be still and know that He is God. He is your protector, your strength and your guide as you make this crossing over.

Laurie

"He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10

ESCAPE

Do you ever think about 'escaping' from a situation when you begin to feel uncomfortable or you are ready to NOT be there? That could include relationships as well as situations. Have you ever tried to escape yourself?

We all have our inadequacies. We feel we are not good enough, or pretty or handsome enough, or our feet are too big or we are not good enough to snag that better job with more pay. We limit ourselves all the time. We measure social success and financial success and when we fall in the bottom it just reaffirms what we have felt.. that we are simply not good enough. We seem to have this inborn sense of discontent of who we are and what our lack of gifts seems to be. We may have the drive and the incentive to complete things but we never seem to see results that prove us to be worthy. This is the human condition of insecurity. NOBODY escapes this. Our self-centeredness keeps us focused inward on ourselves. Always it is our attempt to meet the needs of our ego. We become slaves to those needs and all of our energy is devote to what we feel we are missing in our lives.

ESCAPE... now is the time to re-frame this and begin your escape. It is time to say goodbye to the squirrel cage you are running. The goodbye has to precede a hello. Are you ready to try it? You must say goodbye to your old habits and your old ways of thinking, your aversions and attractions, your egoism and your pride. Don't forget your preconceived thoughts of failure as well as the years of conditioning based on fears and hopes. Time to say goodbye. These are patterns of thinking and behavior that God does not want for us. Our human nature keeps us on that treadmill behavior.

To escape you must be ready to say goodbye and recognize and admit to yourself you must stop thinking in this way. Step back from situations and thoughts and look from the outside in. Stay detached and impartial if you can. As you begin to view your behavior patterns you will learn to accept them and heal with positive change. Insecurities will no longer hold you. You said your goodbyes. Allow yourself to just be you...nothing else. JUST YOU.

Now say hello to a new awareness and the beginning of a new relationship with yourself through God. Keep everything based on peace and calm. Praying to God and spending time speaking to Him is a positive way to relearn good thinking patterns. You are never alone if you are a believer. God is with you at every breath in everything you do.

Stop running. God is the way.

Laurie

Sharing Prosperity

When you read the word prosperity what comes to mind? Money? Not in our household. Prosperity refers to the abundance God grants us minute by minute, day by day. Sharing our love with others and exchanging kindnesses is pure prosperity.

I love smiling at strangers. Sometimes it is a game to force them to see you and look you in the eyes as you smile a broad grin and say GOOD MORNING. When someone has sick family members it is kind to take food to them. This is sharing your prosperity. When your neighbor needs to borrow a cup of sugar, you give her two cups. You life will be blessed in return for all that you do give so graciously because you have not expected anything in return.

Abundance is not measured by money or possessions, but by moment to moment gifts and blessings from the Father. Share what you can of what you have with others. When you feel you have given it all away, emotionally, physically and tangibly, give some more. Bless the lives of others. That is sharing prosperity.

Laurie

Personal Spirituality?

My husband often tells me I live in my world with my rose colored glasses. I do not like to watch the news. I do not like horror shows, murder mysteries, or noisy gun movies. I do not like violence. I live in MY WORLD. Yes and you live in your world.

In my world there is beauty, kindness, sharing, sunshine, rain (when needed) and every person is giving and caring for each other. That is my perfect world. Some might call it Neverland.

It does not exist. All of us live through horrendous happenings, ugly moments, illness, arguments, failures and we seem to remember those better than our fabulous moments of sheer joy and laughter. It would be slightly delusional to think we could wipe away the ugliness that seems to drag us down. That shadow of doubt that creeps into our daily lives dimming the light and they joy we have at that moment.

Our world is basically a broken world. We are broken people, far from perfect. A dear friend wrote me about the need to not exist every day, but to live with joy again in her life. How do you get there? Neverland seems a galaxy away...but is it really?

You have to take joy and embrace it. You have to look into the mirror and see you as you are, broken and tired... and love that broken person again. God loves you so much. He has so much for you. He has promised you the delights of your heart. You can't get there if you do not believe in Him. Every day begin again with joy. Every day count your blessings...all the GOOD wonderful things you can find surrounding you. Roses blooming in your neighbors yard, the warmth of the sun, the awesome feeling of a warm shower as you wake up in the morning, the first cup of coffee or hot tea. If you are not feeling joy, you have allowed your senses to die. You cannot feel anymore, so you must learn to feel again. Focus on visual one day. The next day focus on touch. The day after focus on taste.

Learn how to be joyful day by day and it will slowly return. My spirituality is based on the beauty that God brings into each moment. I thank my Mother for instilling this in our home and our lives.

Rollover Red Horse Oil Painting by Texas Contemporary Equine Artist Laurie Pace

2011-04-12T19:18:00.001-07:00

Rollover Red

30 x 30 inches Oil on Canvas

SOLD

I painted this horse painting in March of 2007 just a week after we buried our oldest grandson, Grant. I cannot look at this image without smiling because the measured strokes, the chosen palette and the movement in the composition all reflect his dynamic personality. He was blessed with Autism and we were blessed with him in our lives. He painted with me just a few weeks before his death and his last precious work hangs in Stacey and Larry's home.

This roll over Horse Painting is painted with Holbein Duo oils on canvas. It lends itself to expressionism with the coloration of favisum along the way.

Behavior

Actions always speak louder than words. I do not believe any child hits the age of 18 without that phrase drilled into their head. One's behavior is testimony to who they are, reflecting how they think by how they act.

Holy thoughts cannot exist with corrupt behavior. How many times have you seen someone profess to be a believer and see their actions as they ignore the needy or turn a deaf ear to cries of hunger?

If we are of Christ, God's Holy Spirit lives in us guiding us to live right. If you are reaching out to the world serving those in need, you are living a Godly life and setting a remarkable example. Others will be drawn to your kindness and your gracious loving ways. His life shines from you.

I have shared this before... but when we took Grant to church he love it. He sang along in his sweet singsong voice and he stayed peacefully quiet as we prayed. He loved going to church. At the end of the service there was always a hearty AMEN from his lips and a big smile as he half walked and half hopped out the door. His simple childlike love and God's grace beamed down on all of us.

What kind of example do you set for others? How bright is your light?

Don't Give Them the Power

Somewhere someone is truly hurting over something from their past or from something recent. We can be violated by words or actions. The hurt that ensues can be emotional as well as psychological. Actions of people stronger than we are seem to really damage us more and it is common to dwell on the situation with anger and depression feeling unworthy as well as hurt.

What you need to know is that person truly does not have power over you. They only have power over you if you allow them to. Do not give them that part of you. God made you and you are precious in His sight. Bad things happen to all people and we have the responsibility to face what was, accept it and move forward in God's grace. Protect yourself if you are in a dangerous situation, move out of it. Do not stay in a situation that keeps you vulnerable.

After being hurt it is hard to move on...but you must and you must find forgiveness for the other person. Bitterness or fear keeps the power in their hands...and you want to get past it.

Empower yourself with the Love of God. Celebrate the beauty He created in you. Give your thanks to Him and He in turn will empower you to face anything and everything. The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.

Laurie

On The Wind of Joy

She flitted around the house in her Tinkerbell-like outfit, pretending to fly and soar on the wind around the living room making circles around the couches and tables. Her voice had a beautiful sing-song quality that rang with happy notes of joy and pleasure at just being alive. It was quite the contrast from the two year old tantrum in the bathtub the night before when she did not want anyone washing her hair.

The wild swings of joy and frustration of being age two reminded me that it was a mirror of what we often see in adults. Night before last I crawled into bed, the last night Lady L would be here this trip...worn but happy. Terry was in the den with Larry watching the latest episode of Top Gear, a favorite in our household. Stacey had fallen asleep a few hours earlier with Lady L, both tuckered out. I climbed into bed with a tv remote in my hand. I NEVER have control of the remote as I rarely watch TV; I thumbed my way through the 500 plus channels and was amazed at how much I had NOT missed in life. I did find Sweet Home Alabama on the Love Channel and settled in to watch the last hour of it. Rather sappy but the part that got me was the end. As the two destined romantics arrived at their seven year late wedding reception, the joy of life and celebrating was so contagious I cried happy tears in response.

Why can we not live like this always? Why can we not find this much joy in every thing we do? I switched off the tv at 10:30... Terry had crawled in bed about 15 minutes earlier and was already sound asleep... and I prayed... and had this 'feeling' that I truly need to make more joy each day. I need to celebrate life each day. I need to praise Him more each day and I need to bring back to my marriage this same joyful nature of the fullness of life.

So when I drug out this canvas above ... that was drawn off last November, I picked up my palette knife and went to work. I worked through most of the afternoon and into the evening until after eight... and I think I am finished. This was joy in the making. Painting for my show opening in Denver in July this summer.... pure joy in celebration of life, love, freedom, energy,...all the good things in life...expressed through color and my palette knife. I hope you enjoy the story and the semi-abstract appaloosa painting above.

Joy to you. Joy is in the air; you can feel it in the wind and in your heart. God is calling to you.

Still a few more weeks to sign up for the art workshop. You do not need to be an accomplished painter to participate...any level artist will learn much from the three day gathering.

This is another one of my miniatures that I am preparing for larger paintings for my upcoming Denver Show in July at Mirada Fine art. I am hoping to do a painting on site at the gallery if we are able to arrange it.

The base was a rusty orange coating of acrylic with heavy overlays of oil paint.

Yesterday we began working on clearing the banks of the pond some more. We are under a burn ban so we will continue to clear and then have to pay to have someone come clear the trash of trees and limbs from our lot. We desperately need rain. My prayers this next week are focused on just that.

Make a list of things to pray about this week and keep up with it... even if you do not make another ...keep up with this first one. Pray daily about the things on your list...and when you find answers for those prayers, date the list next to that item. It is a wonderful way to see God at work as He does answer prayers. Not always the way we want him to, but things evolve and resolve.

IF There is Doubt, Don't do it.

Terry and I were collapsed on the couch yesterday around four and Oprah was on when we switched on the tv to veg out to fresh baked Tilapia, summer squash, sweet potato fries, and a big salad. (Oh also a bowl of fresh cut up strawberries, apples and grapes) We both worked hard all day... up till eight last night. I was washing sheets and preparing the guest room for the RETURN OF LADY L and her parents. How cool is that?

She is a right handed painter and loves painting with me in the studio.

It was a rerun on Oprah from her trip down under to Australia and we enjoyed everything we saw on the journey. Russell Crow had Oprah out on a sailboat and she asked him if the Oscar had changed his life. He said it really did not as he did his job every day... just like anyone does and the Academy Awards truly had nothing to do with his job. He told Oprah that she had affected his life dramatically and he always remembered her words, "If there is doubt, don't do it." Russell Crow applies this in his life even today. Using that inner voice that you ALWAYS hear when it tells you to do or not to do.

So I am sharing that with you today...if you are like me sometimes you get carried away with following others or following a dream you have that you need to do something. Deep inside there is something nagging you but you ignore it. You want to control your life and you go in the direction you think is best despite that inner voice.

Listen... God is talking.. He is that inner voice.

A SENSE OF HUMOR

I know I have talked about God's sense of humor in the past. Make a plan and He is chuckling in heaven.

With Lady L here we have to maintain a sense of humor. I laughed till I cried when I walked out to find her doing her Oreo Cookie dippings and decorating her Miss Piggy book with her new Cinnamon Cheerios. Catch the cheerio on the eye!

This precious two year old keeps us hopping. Terry ask me last night, "How many grandparents does it take to change the diaper on a two year old?" We both sat and figured out probably three to four. That little miss has strong legs and if you just pull her out of warm bath that she does NOT want to be out of, she throws a royal fit. Other than that she is pretty good about eating and sleeping.

I remarked to my music student's mother today that it seems like our schedule was get up, eat, tornado through the house for three hours, eat again...sleep again, repeat the tornado action and then eat dinner get a bath and go back to bed. Yesterday afternoon she had my hand and she was walking me in circles around the living room. After fifteen minutes I ask her where we were going... she looked up and giggled at me... "to Oma's house." DUH, why didn't I think about that?

Sense of humor... something we all need to keep our heads straight and our hearts in the right place.

THE TEXAS TWISTER

By most standards the Texas Twister would be one of those huge tornadoes bearing down from west Texas into Central Texas....OR it could be Lady L in her "twister" mode. That can be defined two ways... one by the disaster left as she plays from room to room... to that tiny twist of hair on her fingers when she is so tired she cannot see straight.

We have put a few miles on the little red wagon already and her favorite thing in the house is the baby grand piano. She stays "STUCK" to that most of the day. "STUCK" is her favorite word, no wait, second favorite. Her favorite is NO NO NO.

When she is in her car seat or you are holding her and do not want to put her down she is decisively STUCK and lets you know it. She had forgotten we had birds.. Max and Gracie... and she calls them BORRR YDS... like a northern Yankee. Makes Terry and I chuckle to hear her stringing the words together.

Short blogs and long days from the Golden Pond. Before I forget. We have huge bees buzzing the house. BIG black bees with yellow on their backs. Any ideas how to lure them away from the house? Makes it hard to go outside with Lady L.

MOVING ON

In this family the MOVE word is not allowed. We have moved way too many times. The longest we lived anywhere was in Justin TX for 6 1/2 years. Three years is about the average...but we have lived here on the lake almost one year and I still love it as much as the day we moved in here last April 5th.

Moving on leaves your mind wide open to new things. Unless you are the empty glass person and moving on is sadness. It is leaving the comfortable and the expected for the new and the unexpected.

I choose these words today as we will be picking Annie up from the vet this afternoon. They amputated part of her right paw and then removed another cancerous lesion on her leg further up. Had we known it was all cancer we might have chosen to put her down now, but we didn't and we had made our decision based on the information we had. So she will be home later today. We will be changing her bandages three or four times a day. Two weeks before the stitches come out. Terry has promised to help me watch over her because I do not want her to suffer. She is very thin and she has lost so much of her personality. It could have been the pain she was in, or it could be the cancer already ravaging her body.

Moving on is hard when it involves letting go. We hold on to much in our life. We hold on so tight our fingers and mind go numb. Letting go seems to be the harshest thing we face to do...but once we take that step, we find that there is something better to come. Having faith that God will provide, we must learn to move on, to let go.

My heart is heavy in anticipation and worry over Annie. I have to be strong if it is her time to move on. There will never be another Annie ever in this whole world or my lifetime...but there will be another dog that will win over my heart in other ways.... Annie is my shadow and I literally cannot imagine life without her.

Okay so I scraped The Majestic Three and they become the URGENT two. The Abstract Horse Painting is very unpredictable. I finish a painting and I know.. I know before I walk away from the canvas that the journey is not done. I know that I have to go back and rework and free the horses. It happens every time I try to do an impressionistic equine piece.

The layering of color with a palette knife is never predictable. Emotion and eye control the placement and use of color on the canvas.

I love painting with thick paint and believe their is a passion with in me that likes to ice cakes...so I love 'icing' my canvas as well. Painting abstract horses was part of a learning process that occurred over several years and the journey has been incredible.

Someone asked me yesterday why I started up this horse blog. The answer is simple. On my main blog I post whatever painting I am working on at the time. It is not always horses. It will take a few years to build this site as strong as my original website, but in truth I have many horse blogs.

I do not post on all of them...but this one I will be posting to the most.

The others are:

www.horsepaintinginternational.blogspot.com

www.horsesoftheheart.blogspot.com

www.equinearts.blogsot.com

www.thepaintedpony.blogspot.com

www.horsingaround.blogspot.com

and now of course this one, www.abstracthorsepainting.blogspot.com because that is what I do best.

My main blog, www.lauriepace.blogspot.com is still the heartbeat of my life. That is where I bare all...paintings and emotions. My studio has been under Graphics One Design since 1998 and before that it dates back to In Perspective Studio founded in 1977.

Sometimes Painting is a pure joy when you are allowing the Spirit to work through you and your palette knife and brush. From the music through the motion, the energy spills across the canvas creating unusual color combination and abstract qualities beckoning to the mind to open to the possibilities of greater thought and freedom.
