IRIS Back Yard Blooms

A Painting a Day




Well, the big thing arrived. The 98oo printer. Egads it didn't look this big in the store! I am finishing up work to send to New York for next weekend and decided to send some of my prints from my Backyard Blooms Series. This is a favorite. I miss these iris...I had a huge group of them in my backyard at the old house. Should have brought some with me!

Preparing for this show has been a huge drag for me with my brain only half functioning from the wreck. For example, I forgot to order the clear bags for the prints in the new sizes. I have old ones for the regular size prints. It will be $60 in shipping to get those babies here by Tuesday so I can ship them to the Gallery. We are actually on VACATION next week and suppose to be in NY and here I am still trying to get ready to go to NY. What is wrong with this picture?

What is wrong is my frantic place of mind. Trying to do more than I should and not trusting that God has it all in His hands as I fumble around. I can only do what I can do and do the best as I do it mindfully. The things I cannot get to I must let go of. Try it in your life and let me know what happens. Choose your battles, don't waste negative time or energy on a something that has no value or gain to the world. If you are battling over a principal, forget it, wasted energy to make people into something they will never be. All the words you gather with the negative energy to make your point just cause pain with in you. What are you seeking in the end?

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 ...
