A Painting a Day


You have absolutely no idea what time it is as I sit bleary eyed at this computer. I know cousin Lucy is up in Germany....she and Robert are well into their morning. It is four thirty a.m. here and we are up and going. GOOD MORNING!

Yesterday I finished up these wolves and finished one window of drapes in our bedroom. The other set of drapes is almost finished. I ran out of bobin and decided to stop at eight thirty last night. Will finish those shortly. Think I will paint for a few hours this morning.

The wolves are HEAVY layered paint...I am thinking a good solid three layers. Chose some different underlays on the woods this time with some forest greens, deep blues, burnt umbers and my favorite Marigold. In contrast the foreground is white snow and the wolves are the grey wolf variety. I named all my wolves in the last painting because they were hanging next to my computer in the studio where I talked with them frequently. This group is next to my easel...we won't converse until I begin to paint today!

I am excited, we are going to my daughter's for an early dinner today. She is attempting fried chicken. You must understand the history behind this. She attempted to fry chicken as a Senior in high school and served up bloody bird. IT was not a pretty site. This is 12 years later and she is attempting it again. She informed me we would pick up a thermometer for checking grease temperature today before the cooking begins. I laughed and told her that you check the grease by flicking bits of water to the surface with your fingers and seeing how they react to the heated grease. (I learned the old fashion way from one of the best cooks....JC Adams during college in Nacogdoches.) It will be an experience at least. Her Hubby Larry is a darn good cook and I think he is making Mac and Cheese homemade. YUMMMMM. We will also see our grandson Grant...he is contemplating an up coming birthday and will be eleven. ( I hope I got that right...geez it is tough getting old.)

Grace to all...and have a safe weekend.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
