A Painting a Day

Good morning from BRRR land..unusual for Texas for this month of the year...usually we see this in January. I am up even earlier...getting Terry off on the slick roads with a bit extra time to make it to the hanger at DFW...hopefully he will stay warm today. Me ~ I am staying in the studio all day working...painting.

This composition above worked itself into being. I started with the palette knife and golds and yellows in the center, working out with oranges and reds...then adding the purples and blues for contrast to the oranges...as I finished the colors I began searching...as I normally do....and I could not see horses anywhere but I could see buildings and streets...so that is what it became.... city streets...with very thick paint drug across the surface.

Stay safe this weekend...stay warm and drive carefully if there is bad weather....Sue wrote it was cold where she was...so keep the home fires burning and remember to stop and hug someone you love.

Grace,
Laurie

DAILY WORD touched it perfectly for me as I begin painting...I must let go and let God and allow him to work within as I work...

Now awakened, I express the sacredness of my soul in all that I am and in all that I do. I live every day with purpose and meaning.

“I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.”
—Psalm 3:5

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 ...
