A Painting a Day
Contemporary Art
SOLD


It is Saturday and I am up. I may try and squeeze in an acrylic painting this morning before heading into Dallas to Ben's house. I am driving our truck over to pick my daughter Stacey up and then we are heading over to move some of our things into storage until we can figure out what to do with it all. Morgan will be there too. He is my artist son, the other painter in the family. The heat will be strong today so we won't work too long today. I hope to be home and back painting by this afternoon.

Have you noticed in yourself, or well for sure in others, negativity? Some folks do not own a pair of rose colored glasses and the world is always against them or things are always going wrong. You love and value some friends and family but it often feels draining that they are always down and so negative. Just by thinking that, I know I am being negative because it is with in my power to have a positive slant on viewing them. That is when you must allow that negative energy to pass around you and at the same time send back to them comfort and positive energy. I have learned you can't change them, and for sure you can't live with out some of them, so you must learn not to internalize their thoughts or allow them to drag you on their side. God's love and beauty shines in abundance even in this person. Let go of your mindful thoughts and dwell on their heart with simple compassion. I embrace you with love. Next time I am at Target, I will see if I can buy you a pair of rose colored glasses.

Shalom,
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 ...
