A Painting A Day


SUNDAY MORNING!!! Terry is home and we are heading for Krum United Methodist Church this morning! It is north of us, but we thought we would go hear the message by a good friend!
The painting evolved from Constance Demby's music. Interwoven textures and colors of warm and cool in contrast. Crimson red to symbolize the blood of our Lord and the cross in the faded background with two hands reaching down to gather up the figure. The warm light of the Spirit surrounds the figure, just as it does us.

The weather is unbelievable for Texas...we have cool mornings and pleasant days~ Sunshine and happy times! Terry and I planted our tomato plants, squash, okra, cucumbers and bell peppers of different colors. He has been working on our front flower beds as well as is pretty tired, but knows the finished product will be solid.

We went out to eat with Stacey and Larry yesterday afternoon to our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Pilot Point. We drove over the damn at Ray Roberts and the water is only down 4 ft! We are sooo ready to go sailing. Time to put the trampolines on the boats and hit the wet stuff. The company and food were marvelous yesterday. The kids gave us a green bracelet to wear in honor of Grant. We went by the cemetery where he is buried and spent a few restful minutes enjoying the quiet and remembering him and his special smile.

The peace at the cemetery reminds me of the peace that God promises all of us. The peace is there for you and me...we do not need to fret about anything. He is in control.

Grace,
Laurie

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 ...
