A Painting A Day

SOLD

The Household is sleeping and I may crawl back to bed...I am still pretty tired. It was a tremendously long day yesterday with folks in and out and Grant's services. There were folks unable to be seated in the chapel that held 250 people...it was a grand celebration of his life. Darci from DOUBLE HP Horse rescue emailed last night ..."Grant" means "gift"...what a treasured thought that was for both Terry and I to go to bed with!

His favorite thing to do was to call 911. Sometimes you would not even know he did it till the police arrived at the door. Talk about panic in your heart. They would come in and have to talk to Grant to see what was wrong and then of course question the poor unsuspecting soul who had not been diligent in watching that Grant was not left alone with the phone. His favorite song this past Christmas was Feliz Navidad and he really rocked to the beat. His favorite stuffed toy was NO cat given to him by his great grandmother... So many memories and so much joy from one child...we were all touched by his beauty.

The painting today starts off my summer highway sunflower series....It was quite popular last year and I paint sunflowers in a variety of styles and sizes from photos I take along the sides of the roads here in Texas. This is a thickly painted palette knife piece that is bright but even in contrast. Very harmonious energy.

Grace to all, I am heading back to bed to catch a few more hours of sleep....it remains quite as visitors are all still snoozing and the dogs are as well!

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 ...
