A Painting a Day.



It is a glorious Sunday morning. Last night Terry and I drove into Dallas to attend an organ concert at St Paul United Church of Christ on Lover's Lane. It is an old German Congregation that has been in existence over 125 years I believe. The organ is a unique pipe organ. It is especially unique because it is in a small church, but it is unbelievable in sound. The guest artist was Bradley Welch. Born in Tennessee, he now lives in Dallas and is quite accomplished. Yes, we bought a CD and yes I will be painting by organ music this week.
This is also the church Terry and I were married in many years ago.

The posted painting was finished yesterday. It is heavily layered with paint and may take awhile to cure! But I had fun with the colors and the play of contrasts through out the painting.

Today I am working on a commission piece...one is hydrangea for an upcoming anniversary gift. The hubby saw my last piece and graciously contacted me to do one for his home as a surprise to his wife. The second one is similar to Dad's Red Flowers. It sold off this blog and another person contacted me and I am doing one in a similar size but taller. I am eager to work on it too!

Hopefully later today the kids will come over so we can cook out hamburgers etc. I have cold watermelon, organic white corn on the cob, homemade German potato salad and I still need to plan dessert. Suggestions? I am hoping Justin has Jonathan. We have not seen or heard from our grandson in a long long time. This is the one we helped raise and took care of for the first seven years of his life while his mother was 'on vacation'. He will be ten this year and has changed tremendously since living with her full time. I will just leave that as I wrote it and let your imagination carry itself.

Dare to believe today....dare to believe that the love of our Lord surrounds and upholds you.

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 ...
