A Painting a Day

Good morning Wednesday. It took me awhile to get here this morning...been catching up on emails and think I have now fried my husband's computer...that is two in less than a week... I think I need to go buy the mac I want....comments???

The painting posted today is soooo very thick with paint...piled in layers to create this. I love the contrast of red and green in deep shades. It evolved with balance of colors and it hangs with a pleasantry to it....shape, balance, form and color binding together in strength.

Today is major painting day, but I do have a turkey in the oven. We will eat at our daughters and she is making turkey...but we wouldn't have left overs for those marvelous HUGE turkey sandwiches or turkey soup from the last scrapes!!! So I bought a free range turkey at Whole Foods yesterday and popped it in the oven at four this morning with the thermometer inserted and the oven at 275 to cook slowly!!! Trina is driving down from Gainesville to paint this morning so I anticipate some good work from the hours ahead.

I am off to the easel.... Charlene and Kay, I want to hear your paintings arrived safely! Hugs to all. SUE...I have to take my camera off, I think it is messing with this computer! If I had a sad face to paste it would be here.

Grace,
Laurie

In my life I know the Lord is my light, especially in my work. He is my salvation as well. He is strength and with Him walking with me I lay claim to His promises and know not to fear what is in this world. I pray he guards my heart and mind from the spirit of fear and fills my heart with his perfect love.

"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

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 ...
