A Painting A Day

This painting does not have a name yet and is not quite done but I am preparing it for the opening of the FOUR BRANCH RANCH which I have been mentioning on prior days! I painted several small 6 x 6 inch ones this morning for it as well. This is thick paint with impasto added and wide brushes.

Kay T... not sure I have your email address because my computer crashed too and I am on hubbies HP. You can email me at Pace52@aol.com though. I pick up mail there daily! Then I will have yours back too!

It is late...I am painting canvas edges tonight so I can hit it running in the morning. On the agenda for the week are some reiners and cowboys/girls, some more wild horses and Exploring a new breed.... Akhal Tekes. GORGEOUS horses. I am going to do a few practice paintings which I have already promised to the buyer that recommended I look at these horses...so we will see! Tomorrow Trina will be here to paint, and I have a new piano student in the morning I THINK!

ALSO NEWS NEWS NEWS...my HARP arrived. I played for almost two hours this afternoon. I was cleaning house and stopped mid stride and decided to try it for the first time. I tuned her slightly to herself using my piano and took off. The hardest thing was remembering the fingering and the right hand goes backwards from how it plays keys on the piano. Charlene, I guarantee I will type 135 words a min after learning to play accurately! LOL

I will post something on my music blog once I get my left thumb working better. ELIZA...I love you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the connection to Denny in Australia. That is who had made my harp. OH she is gorgeous. I have not named her yet.

More later...my canvas edges are calling me, as is a good book next to my bed...as is my adorable husband! Hummm, maybe I won't paint my edges.
(Also need to find my valentine cards...not sure where I put them and they need to go into the mail)

Grace to you all,

Laurie
Centered in the love of God in this prayerful moment, I am at peace. (Especially playing my harp.)

"Let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God's sight." 1 Peter 3:4

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
