A Painting a Day


This was fun! Really fun. I used to do a series of Pantry items, and I may have to jump back in there! Click here to bid on live auction through the Sat after Thanksgiving. FUN Christmas/Holiday gifts will be listing all through the next Thirty days!

Yesterday I was up early and painted and still made the seven a.m. blowout at JCPenny's with my daughter. She had adopted seniors off a senior Christmas tree and wanted to shop for all four of them...and we did. I also picked up a couple gifts and rugs for my bathroom and the guest bathroom. It was a new store that just opened, so it was stocked well and of course not crowded at seven in the morning. After that I was home painting until after five yesterday. Hoping to see our youngest son here later and Computer guru Mark to help with the transfer of mess to another computer...unless he can figure out how to break down the C divider in my hard drive. Partition Magic is not able to do it.

I had hopes of visiting with Sue this weekend...she bought a camera for her computer, but obviously not user friendly at this time. I saw her online the other day on SKYPE and rang her up knowing she could not see me. I grinned into the camera (face with streaks of paint and my old paint clothes on) and chatted away with air and then emailed her as I clicked the done button. Turns out her hubby was on the other end.... oh my was I embarrassed. I am learning.

Well, I am off to the easel this morning. Blessings to you all. Trina sent me the Kabbalah thought for the week and I want to share it...it was based on the story of Isaac giving his blessing to Esau and Jacob jumping in ahead to receive it....the idea is realizing what little control we actually have and letting go and letting God.

I will leave you with that thought for the week. Grace, Laurie

I am no longer a prisoner of my past - past regrets, earlier traumas, pain and suffering. I believe in miracles and a joy-filled future. I gain the courage to let go! I let go. Of everything. Period.


I am refreshed by every breathe and prayer.
"God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." Genesis 2:7

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 ...
