A Painting a Day

Click here to bid.


The storms have passed through the area and I do believe we received about 8 inches of rain or more. The streets and bar ditches were all under the same lake as it crept near our homes. The unusual part was this storm did not press through swiftly as they normally do...it was moving slowly and the storm moved at an angle keeping us wet and stormy for almost 8 straight hours. Very unusual. SO, I did not paint yesterday. Something about wet paint and wet air...hummm...But this painting is in a new color series for me with the deep blue and violet backgrounds. I thought I had posted this one and my Texas Mission, but I couldn't trace them back this month in my blog, so I hope I am not repetitious! Very unusual colors pulled through on this one....enjoy it!

My cousin is still visiting from Boise. He has his treat of Texas with the weather. He spent several hours at the sink cleaning and re wiring several antique lamps we have here. They sparkle now and are quite beautiful in their cleaned up stage. I have to admit, cleaning my lamps has not been a priority past a quick dusting! I am hoping my parents will travel out today with my older brother Bill to visit one more time before Bruce leaves to fly home. I will make fish stew, with fresh orange roughy, maybe some sea bass and fresh shrimp on the side. Mom cannot have it in the stew. A good salad to go with it with fresh organic vegetables and dessert is debating in my head...I SHOULD serve just fresh organic fruit, but I want to make a fuller dessert and am between coconut cream pie, st louis ougy goougy butter cake or Droste homemade chocolate brownies....any votes out there?

As the rain clears today, I can already hear the birds in their chorus outside my window! God protected them through the storm, the winds, hail and heavy rains...they sing his praises as the dawn breaks this morning. Perhaps we should all give thanks during the storms and after them for what we have at that moment, knowing that those storms make us stronger and wiser as we journey.

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 ...
