IF ONLY
Young Cowboy

A Painting a Day

Have you ever been in competition of sorts and not won? Then you rerun the whole thing over and over in your head thinking WHAT IF?? IF ONLY???? Well that is the mainstay of this composition. We have all been there...and it is captured in this young cowboy and his faithful dog!
Painted with brush and oils, it is a reflective painting.

Stacey's birthday party was great yesterday...saw many of her friends I have known most of their lives and that was neat. My parents and my youngest brother and his wife, drove out to visit us first and then we went on to Stacey's for her party. Her Husband had most of the food catered in...and the cake specially made from a fabulous bakery in Dallas. She is thirty on Monday. She was my early morning child, arriving at 5 a.m.... after a night of dancing and a big steak and shrimp dinner.

Off to work on a 3 by5 ft commission piece.... I started it yesterday and have it sketched out on the canvas.

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
