Day Eleven of the Twelve Days of Christmas Art Giveaways by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Hearing the Call 
9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  


This is the third and last piece I did in front of the fire close to two weeks ago. Perhaps of the three it is my favorite because of the violet sky. I think it got the attention of the pony too.

Unplanned events can really ruffle our feathers and put a kink in our day and our lives.  An unplanned pregnancy with an unwed mother over 2000 years ago, really must of set minds a whirling.  How do you trust that God's plan is at work in your life?  Are you still trying to control everything?

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 
Luke 1:26-28

Day Tenth Twelve Days of Christmas Art Giveaways by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Patches
8 x 10 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  


The tenth day painting is a summer horse painting from 2013.  I named it Patches because it basically looked like Patches. I think I was under the influence... of color.

Miracles happen every day. They surround us with their grace and light. If your eyes are not open, you cannot see them. If you heart is not open you cannot feel them. 

After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.” Luke 1:24-25

Day Nine Twelve Days of Christmas Art Giveaways by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Single Joy
9 x 12 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  


The ninth day painting was another one painted 10 days ago in front of the fire. Perhaps that is how the sky ended up so red... it was warm and cozy and my dog was at my feet. Another 'fun' painting to unwind that weekend. Too cold to walk and too cold and wet to leave the house.

Day Eight Twelve Days of Christmas Art Giveaways by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Hesitation
9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas.  


The Eighth day painting is again another abstract horse painting.  This was in January of this year as we were preparing our house to go on the market. I finished some larger pieces for galleries and did a few small paintings for the daily blog.  The colors always sway me gently into this painting. Ready to slip into a frame.

Day Seven Twelve Days of Christmas Art Giveaways by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013

Sun Stretch 
8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas. 


The seventh day painting is another abstract horse painting.  This was painted this past summer as well. I love the clarity in this painting, as well as the rich vibrant colors of the palette used.

As I chose the verse for the blog this day, I am using quite a few readings from Luke. Luke's writing is more detailed and less hurried than the other gospels. This might have been because Luke was a doctor or a healer, so he was very much into preciseness. When reading this passage I almost giggled.  How many time has someone told you something and you just could not bring yourself to believe it to be true?  Some things seem so outlandish and totally unreasonable. In this sense Angel Gabriel had told Zachariah and his wife Elizabeth that she would bear a son and they were to name him John. Zachariah scoffed at the idea because they were both so old. The angel really was not impressed with the reaction. 

The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.” Luke 1:19-20

Could you image being struck down mute for questioning something told to you from God?  Have you been listening lately?

Hydrangea
20 x 20 inches Acrylic on Canvas. 


The sixth day painting is an abstract Hydrangea painting.  This was painted at the end of a workshop with a student from Ohio in 2011. I found it when we moved and really think the colors are pretty. I am hoping someone adds their name today special for this floral. Let me know if you are specifically entering for the flowers today.

For our household Advent is underway.  
Terry and I do a short bible study every morning at the table with our breakfast. We are adding advent to our daily routine and lighting the first candle on our wreath this week.

And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”  Luke 1: 17

The Pair 
9 x 12 inches acrylic on Canvas.  



The fifth day painting is a pair of horses in the painting.  This was in front of the fire last weekend just playing with my knife and colors. Felt like a kid with new crayons.

But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway Painting 2 by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway
Painting Number 2

Summer Storm (but it looks like snow to me)
8 x 10 inches Acrylic on Canvas.  


The second painting is a horse painting I also did this past summer. Thick paint best describes it along with a cool palette.

The pumpkin pie is delicious. I bought heavy coconut milk in a can and used it in place of Condensed milk.  Could not tell a difference, but my tummy loves it because I am lactose intolerant and have really missed my pumpkin pie on the holidays. I highly recommend you substituting for your dairy to be healthier.

I chose this verse below because holidays normally bring family together.  Remember we all have feelings and situations that others do not know about. Be kind to everyone and always patient. 

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. James 1:19-20
