A Painting a Day

Good morning. I missed yesterday because I couldn't get BLOGGER to upload my images...so finally I switched to the NEW BLOGGER ( I was on a beta blogger) and it worked! YEAH!!!!!

So a day behind it not bad! This is a peaceful~ restful painting...remember (although it is hard to in Texas) what it like after the rains come...and the sky is only partially cleared?? That is the moment this picture captures! You can feel the coolness in the air from the rain and the city appears Washed CLEAN! Painted with a palette knife and cool colors for a New Years ring to it!

Scrambling still here and there for last minute shopping...just small things. We ate at a Mexican Restaurant in the Denton Mall and it was by far some of the WORSE food I have ever eaten and they were proud of that with their prices. As my grandson would say, YUCCA.

Hopefully we get to see him tomorrow. We raised him with his dad for over four years and he lived with us three of those years. His mom was basically OUT OF POCKET. She came back into his life two years ago and things have never been the same since. Good, bad or indifferent it is the Lord's plan and we celebrate the simple joy of having him Christmas Eve, Christmas morning and the day after! He and his "Bampa" are thick buddies! So there is much preparation at our home right now to welcome him for the holidays.

Stay warm and enjoy the season.

Grace,
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 ...
