A Painting a Day





This painting was completed on Saturday. My right had is so sprained from the car wreck I am struggling to paint very large. It is done with a huge brush, thick paint and lots of color! There are quite a few layers of paint on the flowers!

FATHER'S DAY. Rainy and full of love here. We pulled our aching bodies from bed and tolerated the hour trip into Dallas in torrential rains. I wanted to turn back and go climb back in bed, but my true dear hubby pushed onward despite his lower back and major headache. We Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Eastridge Christian Church and hearing the wonderful message based on the father of the prodigal son. It sank in near and dear to the heart you might say.

We declined any reasonable thought of Sunday School and stopped to hug friends there and headed to my mom's to collapse and rest before taking them to lunch. Lunch was at Mainstream where we had a good group of both Dad's and our two son's, friends, girlfriends, our grandson and my mom. Excellent food...the men all had the special which was steak and Lime and buttered sole with asparagus, and twice cooked garlic potatoes.

I am off to rest as the ride home brought tears to my eyes. I was surprised yesterday with a gift from a friend from another artist...a painting that I loved when I saw it! I have to call Charlene and say THANK YOU for making my week and tomorrow write the artist and send her hugs in celebration of the painting!

Grace to you on this special day...remember you dad's and the all they sacrificed for you.

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 ...
