A PATH TO THE SON

A Painting A Day

COMMISSION PIECE COMPLETED!


She arrived at the house about nine thirty yesterday morning. A sweet breath of fresh air as she entered the studio....Lana had arrived! I must connect the pieces first. Last year as we were selling our monster house we discovered there was an easement line running through the property and our home as well as a flood plane that had not been earlier identified. How the property had ever closed five years prior was questionable. I had to find a hydraulic engineer to re shoot the area and establish where flooding could occur (Near by dried up creek) and petition the city to abandon a one acre easement off the back of our property. That is where the Lord placed Otis in our lives, Lana's husband and a hydraulic engineer. The city engineer gave me a list of 10 hydraulic engineers. I was praying as I scanned the list and chose Otis. God answered prayers. This man did his job swiftly as needed, thoroughly and spoke to our city council with the quiet power of the almighty! We were able to sell our home and buy another one - smaller- on the same street to downsize. A painting was part of the deal...and Lana began to email me her favorites of all I had painted and other paintings she like. Lana is unbelievable...a burst of energy, tenderness of heart, and as genuine as life itself. I did fret before she arrived not knowing. I had sent her prelims of the painting, but she wanted changes and I suggested she come and sit as I finished the painting up so she could get exactly what she envisioned. It was such fun! The changes were made, a bit more red poppies in the distance, more red poppies in the flower pot, red flowers in the box window etc. Then the certificate and then we visited for two hours! Results were above.... the painting is so vivid and dimensional in life I really don't think this picture does it justice. The bike she wanted was symbolic for Otis, then the path, the sunset all in tribute to the Lord. I believe the colors reflect all the magnificent beauty of Lana and the gentleness and love she brings to everyone she encounters in her journey here on earth.
It was an honor to paint for Otis and Lana! I hope you enjoy seeing this painting, it is painted with brush and palette knife and the paint is VERY THICK.

This is my birthday weekend, so I am unsure how much I will paint this weekend. My dad's birthday is this weekend too, so we have a huge family party planned, with lots of cake and food!

Grace to all,
Laurie

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 ...
