This is one of my top ten favorites as well. It is at Davis and Co Gallery in Houston.

 Color and design are the strong points in this painting. It is not for the meek of heart.  I feel more men are drawn to it because of the strength, but many women like the mystery of the work. There is a gentle presence with the stance of the horses calm in the movement surrounding them.

 Often when our lives are in turmoil we begin to wonder what to do to calm things down.  We loose energy wrestling with what we could have done differently and slowly we begin playing that blame game. 

 In actuality there is a gentle presence with us all the time... God is there through it all. If we can slow the blame game down and open our heart and mind to just Him, we can find a peace in our quiet contemplation. When we are in a peaceful place it is easier to 'hear' an answer to our turmoil. This gentle spirit of the Father guides and directs us when we are open to allowing Him into our lives. 

 "If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit."  Galatians 5:25

Didn't recognize the flowers? Rotate the canvas clockwise one turn of the square and it begins to fall in place. If you have time click through to the available paintings to see the close ups on this one as they are incredible. With it being a painting built on a painting the layers lend to a depth not often seen in painted artwork.  The little centered part of the green on the horses face is central to the contrast of the red throughout the painting. The blue does the same with the orange. I truly loved changing and evolving with this painting.

 Trusting in God all the time as you evolved is not easy. We see our friends or family in stressful situations and we wish we could change them. We often find ourselves wanting to push a 'restart' button when we blow our schedule or even our diet. That is when we have to rise above the earthly situation and set our eyes on God. We need to remind ourselves that God is in charge. How well I know His restarts in our lives are often life changing and not always what we wish for. Stay with prayer and stay with God. We cannot determine an outcome in our own life or the lives of our family members and friends. Accepting the fact that we cannot control things, makes it easier to take a deep breath and let it out...letting go of all anxiety and control. 

 "Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances." 
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18

The Painted Ponies Gathering 2 The Passing of Spring
32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas.
Available Paintings by Laurie Pace 

If you look at the last posting and this one you can see how beautifully the colors pulled out to create the atmosphere foundation in this new Painted Ponies Painting.  Why the Passing of Spring?  We just had Easter and a week of on and off storms and it feels like the storms are passing leaving blue skies and sunshine.  Spring in Texas means STORMY weather. 

 Here is a close up of this painting and it is available. You can see more close ups on the site hyperlinked above.

This reminds me of a painting I did about three years ago  with the arrival of fall. In this painting soft strong colors creating the 'atmosphere' recalling the haze of soft falling rain and drizzle. 


Life is a constant change and it includes storms. Trusting that God can secure us through the worst, we watch for the soft rain and the clearing skies to show His peace with us and with the world.

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth." Genesis 9:13
