A Painting a Day



The storms were interesting yesterday. Conni Togel and daughter Annie Mae were flying in from Greensboro South Carolina in the late afternoon early evening hours. Storms gather southwest of us with tornadoes, 70 mile an hour straight line winds, hail etc and we determined the storm was to hit DFW International Airport at 6:35 pm. I scampered into the computer. Conni's flight was due at 6:35. As I pulled up the screen it was delayed to 6:43...as it departed Greensboro late. Not the best scenario. We left for the airport at five fifteen hoping to beat the weather to the garage parking outside the terminal. My daughter kept us abreast of the storm and we prayed that Conni's flight would somehow make it in before the storm and not be diverted. 30 min later as the rain began to lightly fall and the black/green clouds began gathering to the south of the airport, I called the info line to find her flight was due in at 6:23!
We waited with baited breath for her to come through the doors and she and Annie did greeted by tight hugs. We walked to the baggage area just as the workers announced with the storm, wind and lightening that the ramps were closed and no baggage was moving. The gate worker than walked by with two pieces of luggage that HAD made it in and they were Conni's...no one else's was there! We had to wait until the storm let up to leave...which was about 35 min...but headed home to the ranch after a quick stop at Steak and Shake! SHE IS HERE!!

The cute Airedale was painted yesterday. As it lists I have part of the sale going to Scottie Kingdom rescue in Dallas. Time to get back in gear!

Today I will be painting horses and then hopefully have a few days off to play with Conni....I still teach today and she is going to judge the kids artwork for their show next week! A HUGE help!

Encourage others around you today. Know that all you give you receive back ten fold.

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 ...
