A Painting a Day

SOLD SOLD SOLD



Saturday morning has not dawned yet, but I am up to do book work. I might try and paint a a bit if I get through it all, but we are Dallas bound to check on Terry's dad and take the dogs to the groomer.

I worked on these three beauties last week and finished them up yesterday. Layers of impasto and color create another dynamic trio of energy.

Amanda phoned from Wyoming and the Shooting Stars Gallery to share the news that another large painting sold for a future "Christmas Gift". That always means so much to me that paintings are gifts to be shared...that is how I view my art as one of those gifts and it is indeed an honor.

On Thursday we were in Dallas to pick up art supplies at Asel Art and to check on Terry's Dad. Looks like a bit more surgery next week for a second stint. We took him to lunch and then we went to look at one of the senior apartments at Three Fountains in Dallas. I decided once again after visiting Uncle Charles and Aunt Barbara in there apt in Denver, that these facilities remind me of College Dorm Days. It is all in the life cycle I guess! In my youth, my grandmother lived with us half the year and in St Louis with her other daughter half a year. I cherished the months she was with us. It is a time that family is important to care and share in the later years. That is how it has always been. I know in Jesus' time there were not facilities for the elderly, the elderly are to be respected and honored and cared for. All these places are truly wonderful with elegant dining rooms, all attached areas for recreation, exercise, church, cards, billards, indoor, outdoor pools etc. My simple home cannot even offer that for my parents or my father in law. I think if faced with this I would rather check into this new living abode while I was still active and young enough to enjoy it all so it became home to me. Takes almost two years for a place to feel like home. After all our moving I have that one down pat.

Gotta get to my work...too much reflecting today.

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 ...
