A Painting a Day


OH MY>... we have at least 3 inches or more of snow outside....we were up at four to let the dogs out as I made Terry's breakfast and there is snow thickly covering everything. The hood of his truck has more like six inches.... it is amazing since we rarely get snow. I will try to get out for pictures later!!!

Annie the dog is doing better...we couldn't feed her until this morning...and I just fed her. I pray that her tummy and intestines are better because I do not want to spend my day cleaning up after her! She was so sad yesterday wanting to eat and I felt like a bad mother eating in front of her!

This painting was completed yesterday. it is pretty wet. It was interesting to paint as it developed I truly was working on balance color etc. I always paint away and as I finish things up begin moving paint on the composition to different areas for contrast. I use the palette knife and pick up color from one side and lay it on another side. That is what finally finished this one!

more later...must get to painting for a special mission. FOUR BRANCH RANCH
Kathryn is the owner and I will be painting for her this weekend...starting in the next ten minutes. I had a delightful conversation with her yesterday and was thrilled to find she is a believer as well. God has a way in His plan to put people in our lives, and as often as I sit and wonder, Okay, not sure why, but we will take this journey in faith, He then pops in something fresh and surprising...and that is what Kathryn was to me. I have to thank Kelly Williams for the connection...he has purchased several of my paintings and it is from him that Kathryn contacted me.

Remember what I wrote several days ago? Open the doors that I am suppose to go through and close the ones I need to walk away from...give me the wisdom to recognize the people I need to walk away from that drain my energy and the knowledge to reach out to those that are in need or that I need to connect with. I heard this on Good Morning Texas about a month ago and it has been a mantra for me every day since.

Have a super Friday!

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 ...
