A Painting a Day

This was so different for me ...a race horse, and combining my abstract with my impressionism to the point that you see the horses...the color doesn't run through them but up to them. Painted mainly with a palette knife....the leading horse is literally carved out of paint, thick ridges and contrast throughout.

I am preparing to prepare to paint today...and I teach today. We are learning about negative space. My assistant teacher, Ashley, is down with a huge cold, so my handy dandy husband, Terry, gets to assist today! It is brrrr cold outside. Just heard on the news that a neighborhood over where Terry and I grew up in Lake Highlands, is on fire. The fire is actually next to where one of our oldest friends live....but no way to contact them at this hour...everyone has had to evacuate the area...the fire started in one home and now four are involved. That is scary for winter time...I would be first to get my dogs out, then my guitars...might have to grab my portable hard drive if there was time. OH, can't forget my birds either....

Grace to all of you.

PS The ear doobies are working...Terry and I both slept like logs for two nights straight. I have lost two pounds in weight as well...and I still ate homemade cookies last night.

"You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor." Psalm 73:24

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 ...
