A Painting a Day




DYNAMITE BRIGHT colors in this Valentine's painting of two horses, obviously in love!
My Palette was greens, reds, golds and blues, with accents of purple. This would be an eye catcher in any room!

Today is Tuesday and suppose to be VERY COLD with COLD and WET tomorrow...maybe Ice..but I do not think snow. We are heading into town later to visit FED EX...stop by the USPS and on to the wilds of Dallas and traffic. There we will visit Whole Foods and TJ Fish Market for our weekly rations. I have been reading the book THINK THIN BE THIN...and ya know what...it is helping. I am not huge but would like to drop one size back down to fit in my clothes. Christmas did me in.

Heard today my HARP is on her way. I will not name her until she arrives and I hear her voice...but I am darn excited now. I wrote Denny and ask him if there was a tracking number so I could keep up with her on the trip. ALSO how long...by boat or plane?? There is a huge difference there in arrival time. Need to start looking for a new piano too..mine is cratering. Hard to teach on it...been nursing it along for the past year.
Meanwhile GUITAR is off limits until I get this shoulder injury addressed. I miss playing.
At least I can paint. Not suppose to be typing but I am this morning and the pull is pretty sharp up my arm from my fingers flying over this keyboard.

I got to talk to Sue last night....both on the phone and stereo on SKYPE! She said they had snow recently... I think perhaps I will take two months of heat and stay in Texas. We have pretty good weather except JULY and AUGUST.

Have a great day today. Tomorrow Liberty comes to begin her day with me! YEAH>>>>

Grace,
Laurie

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.”—Ephesians 4:32

I have this mantra about "Open the doors that I need to walk through today, Close the doors that need to be closed. Give me wisdom to turn away from those I need to walk away from and the knowledge to embrace those that I need to meet and walk with." I always felt strange with the wisdom of walking away, but in the daily word message today it says:

"It may be in my best interest to release an unsafe relationship and move on, or it may serve me to rebuild a relationship with mutual caring and support. Forgiveness allows me to let go of my focus on negative thoughts or behaviors. I move forward with positive energy that flows through me and into my relationships. "

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 and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

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 law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
