A Painting A Day
BID HERE


I grew up around Scottish Terriers, my mother bred and showed them. Litters of puppies each year were part of our lives...and these squatty characters were woven into the fabric of our family. Mom still has a retired show Scottie right now. Marilyn. Marilyn is deaf...really deaf. She likes my mom, but really likes my dad better. She will not respond when mom has her attention and she is outside and does not want to come in. There has been more than one time my mother has raced out in the backyard fearing Marilyn was dead because she was lying there (sometimes on her back) and not moving. She can hear hand claps..but ALWAYS choses to ignore mother's clap. Now, if Dad does it, she is up and Johnny on the Spot ready to come in. What a personality. Mom also has a Bouvier...a pup that is about 9 months old and is really big of course. Marilyn isn't exactly happy that Gracie is part of the household...but life continues in their happy home. This painting was in memory of Poetic Justus, mom's top recognized and awarded Scottish Terrier in the Ring back in the sixties/seventies. He was the dog I was attached to!

My dog paintings are all done to raise money for Scottie Kingdom, a dog rescue in the DFW area that rescues from all the adjoining states. Jim has been wonderful to work with, and I hope to continue to paint to support their organization.

Terry, the hubby, is home sick. I made homemade Turkey soup for him last night..but fever and chills claim his body right now. I got up at the regular time and thought I would paint this morning at least...Meanwhile I hope everyone is full of turkey that is reading this blog...and pie of course too! Leftovers for awhile...but I have a standing rib roast I am cooking for tonight, along with fresh organic butternut squash and new potatoes.

Grace to all,

Laurie

“A pleasant vineyard, sing about it!
I, the Lord, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
I guard it night and day
so that no one can harm it;
I have no wrath.”
—Isaiah 27:2-4

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 ...
