Commission Piece




This is a unique commission piece for a couple in NYC. I was THRILLED to be honored to paint this for their home. Smooth thick paint and brilliant colors create this musical composition. I hope they enjoy it...I think I told you before when I paint, I often meditate and pray about the home where the painting is going to. Often I have no clue when painting for eBay, but I do when painting commission pieces. I have learned over the years of painting, NOT to get in the way of the spirit that must travel onto the canvas. Often The artist gets in the way, again reminding me of Iris' words, EGO edging God out. Same on the canvas... when I try and control...the painting never works as well. The guitar was a delight...itunes playing on my computer with a mixture of music and I literally danced around the canvas as I worked.

Today is cold. Yesterday was Liberty's first day to help with the computer and I can honestly say I was pretty happy with a first day of learning PHOTO shop. A few bugs to iron out yet, but we will make a go of it!

My Annie Dog was sick yesterday. After spending 24 hours cleaning up her running at both ends, and with signs of blood, we were bound for our PONDER VET...PONDER TX...Dr Henderson is FABULOUS!!!! Had to pick up heart guard too....those are exp...her visit was about $175 and then add heartguard and I walked out relieved she would live despte the $345 I had just paid...told Niki I had to hurry home to paint another picture to cover the trip to the vet. Having dogs is like having children....you are sick when they are sick, and hurt when they hurt....we came home and had salmon, fresh veggies and oven toasted Italian bread and we watched an old movie with Bette Davis....MR SKEFFINGTON. I think she got an oscar for this one. It was rather long...but it was pretty good to watch her character grow old...I really like the man that played MR SKEFFINGTON...don't know who he was, would have to ask Terry.

Off to paint....running late this morning. Gotta paint to pay the VET bill!

Grace,
Laurie

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
