A Painting a Day

Monday Monday...still can't type with both hands. A friend suggested Neuro Muscular Massage...so I am on a mission! Help is soon! We continue to gather bids for the renovation of this house and the addition of STUDIO space! YEAH.... meanwhile I paint in my little room!

This unique painting is the first of many with this application. I had a dream last week about it and started it on Friday...Finished it up on Saturday...and listed it on eBay on Sunday. I wanted a KOI painting that was more low key and mood setting to calm cool colors and when Terry walked in and said WOW...I knew I had succeeded with my dream. I am sure it will evolve more as it goes as well with the next one. I used several palette knives as well as Impasto mixed with the paint to give it thickness.

I am also excited to welcome Liberty to the studio...she is a young woman that I have known for almost ten years now...and she will be helping with all the computer related stuff and with art classes later once the final studio is put back together. I believe I will see her art develop as she works here, she has much hidden talent!

Have a great day today...I will return typing one handed tomorrow...gotta go rest my right hand now. Oh I want to share what Iris wrote me....

Let us decrease so He may increase
and let us remember that ego is really: Edging God Out.

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 ...
