A Painting a Day



Good Monday Morning! I spent the last two days busting my poor arm on this computer trying to fix the files for the book I sent out the link to! My FIRST edition of horses. Click on the word BOOK to link to it! I struggled after building it in PUBLISHER and then realizing I could not convert it, rebuilding it in Adobe Illustrator and then trying to find a program to combine the PDFs I built in Adobe. I did find a super program SONIC that did everything flawlessly taking it straight from Publisher, but it did not like my big files of pictures, especially 64 of them! But it would work for most people and the support there was over the top in professionalism and honesty. Canadian Company too...wonderful folks! BUT the book is available now and I am praying it worked correctly. You might wait three weeks and let me get my first copy!...then order. I jumped the gun, but I was so excited!

This painting, Color FIVE horse TWO is for the FOUR BRANCH RANCH opening on Feb 22nd in Colleyville, Tex. You can access the site by clicking on the name above. I also did a roper yesterday which I hope to post tomorrow for you to see. I painted to relax my body inbetween the hyperventilating moments this weekend. This painting has tons of impasto mixed in with the paint to ensure it dries in time. Terry is going to help with the framing.

I missed the super bowl...heard it was soggy....by the fourth quarter I had uploaded the book to LULU and was soaking my arm in the tub reading a book. I then crashed and slept nine hours so I am ready to work ...on shipping and in the yard today. We will have warm dry days for today and tomorrow.

Hope all is well with you.... I have a different source this morning for meditation, from a daily wisdom I get online...it is on CONTAGIOUS things...so remember that when you read the bible verse below! Make it contagious in your life.

Gal. 5:22,23 "The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self control and gentleness."

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
