Early Evening Dusk ~ Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 36 inches
Oil on Canvas

CONTEMPORARY ART for your home.




This is a second in this series of reflections. The first one was in coffee colors and this one is in blues! I noticed after I posted two paintings last week with horses and reflections there are several artists inspired on to paint horses and reflections! Paint on!

Gee, did I sleep last night? I was here in the studio working until eleven. Fell into bed and slept and I am back here at seven. I just finished my bible study ...it is on David in 1 Samuel. Pretty deep reading tying in the bond of the covenant between David and Jonathan and the bond with three with the Father. Then the covenant through the bread given to us as when Jesus says He is the bread of life....so much to reflect on this morning as I paint.

I had a comment on yesterday's work from Blue (Michael) and I wanted to email him and didn't know how...so if you are reading this, I did leave a comment on your blog, check it out! It amazes me how many people stop by to share my thoughts each morning and if anything small reaches to you I know my "ramblings" are the bread I share with each of you.

The relationship between David and Jonathan was amazing. I would put it equal in love and respect that I have for my own husband with our covenant we made with the Lord. When I reflect on my friends per sae, I have a friend from jr high and high school that I feel emotionally knitted to because we endured the tightest friendship through those teenage years and our mutual love and respect has lasted through the past 30 plus years. We live far apart from each other, but when we talk, the years and moments apart do not exist. We do have a covenant, a trust, a love and it is a forever thing bonded by God.

Reflect today on covenants in your life and who you are committed to through the unity of a relationship blessed by the Father.

Shalom,
Laurie


"When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." 1 Samuel 18:1

"And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul." 1 Samuel 20:17

They call me Blue said…
Once again you have presented a beautiful piece of artwork. I am particularly fond of it, do to the fact that Blue is my favorite color, but what would you expect from someone they call Blue.

I sent you an email to your aol address, I could not find the entry you said you had left on my blog.

I am busy on your new feeder, you will love it. The birds will love you for it.

I keep my eyes unto the hills from whence my help cometh.

Peace, Blue

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 ...
