A Painting a Day



It is afternoon....here in Texas and it is starting to warm up a tiny bit, at least into the fifties. We might see Sixties tomorrow...yes..but the weather man muttered something about the MCFARLAND syndrome....and that means COLD AIR and SNOW and ICE...coming soon to a town near you if you live in north Texas. This is welcome welcome welcome...to have a real winter...might cut down on our bug population too!

Painted this morning and these roses appeared on canvas...perhaps with thoughts of Valentines. I put my order in for some more perfume...I am out. Hope he takes the hint of the empty perfume bottle on his sink with a note...EMPTY...20 days until Valentine's Day. Don't forget your valentine! You can buy these roses and have flowers year round...gee what more could a husband want??? They will post on eBay next week, but are available now if you contact me!
The paint is hugely thick...hugely...is that a word? Well it is on my canvas. RIDGES outline the petals and establish movement and dimension...I love my Holbein Duo Oils.

ALSO...a new painter will be listing on eBay soon...he is from San Antonio and his work is FABULOUS! I will pass on more info as I get it. ALSO trying to talk Conni Togel back onto Ebay at least with OSWOA items...I have two of her pieces here in my home...and I have two of Diane Whitehead's (Artoutwest) and one of Debra Hurd.

Hope the sun is shining where you are...and Amanda...enjoy the wilds of Alaska...and have a glass or two of wine of the plane ride up!

Grace to all,

Laurie

Greetings Laurie, from way-cold New England! I love these roses & had to chuckle, I bought myself 2 bunches of tulips at the grocery store today to paint tomorrow, knew I wouldn't want to go out with wind chills below ZERO! I've been enjoying your paintings! Thanks for visiting my blog. Cheer & blessings to you..and stay warm!

hi laurie,

as always, gorgeous work!
thanks for talking me into listing some stuff - i did get an inquiry after all the listings ended, so it did do something!

It's been really cool (i call it cold - but that's only because i've adjusted to the weather here already - in Colorado i'd be sitting outside on my porch with shorts and a t-shirt on at these temps...), and am i ever ready for spring!

you might need to make that sign on the bottle bigger - and tie his toothbrush to it, and then strap that to his right pinky so he won't forget :)
then again, he will probably surprise you, just wait and see!

take care!

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 ...
