A Painting a Day
$499


Good morning. I did not make Dallas this morning...headache is a lingering thing right now. I am struggling with some hands I am painting for a commission piece. I have prayed about it and it hit me to try it over on a linen or smoother canvas. I really dislike starting over since I have 12 hours in this painting, but it is not working.... so today we will regroup. Meanwhile yesterday I finished this painting....VERY thick paint and a criss cross pattern. Bright and cheery and ready to finish drying to travel to it's new home, where ever that might be!

We have MAC class again this afternoon. MAC Quicken...ugh ugh UGH UGH. Can't say it loud enough and to top it off, QUICKEN lies...I was told it was identical to the PC version and it IS NOT. It is watered down milk toast in comparison. SOOOO we enrolled into QUICKEN MAC classes to make sure I am not missing something. Tomorrow I may appologize! BUT meanwhile we are learning more each day about our IPODS etc. Terry downloaded the TV series BONES to put on his.... I only have music on mine. I need to update it with some photos now of my work...That takes a bit of time. I have had zero time.

I am off to paint for a new store in Rockwall Texas. Horses of course! I am excited about it and the folks putting it in...from the description it is new and growing and they need horse art work to sell. I have a new arrival of canvas from Rupen (Canvasplace.com) and I am ready to roll!

Grace to you all, have a great FRIDAY!

Laurie

MAC classes - um, sounds like what I need, I'm fuddling around with my new one, got all my files transfered over, but sometimes have quite the head-banging moment of frustration!! (and I'm sure there's more where that comes from!)ha. Your painting hasn't suffered for all your trouble though - beautiful as ever! Happy painting,Roxanne!

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 ...

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 ...
