SPRING LOVE, horses, western art by Laurie Justus Pace

Oil on Canvas
24 x 30 inches on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Contemporary Art inspired by the ART OF GOD


Tuesday morning brings a brisk breeze outside and a hint that fall is to come and heat is almost behind us. I will be working in the studio painting today. I was going to go into Dallas with Terry, but there are WEST NILE warnings out both here in Denton county and in the Lake Highlands area where we would be working outside. Terry and I can be standing next to each other and I will have 50 bites and he won't be touched. Enough said!

This painting is available in my eBay store, or heck, just email me! You save more buying from me directly anyway. Currently this painting is in a shop in Rockwall,but can be picked up and shipped directly to you.

Yesterday we took our baby car to the fix it shop again and maybe they will get it right this time...on putting the truck lid on with out angling it or shimming it. We are in a lease car from hertz. They picked us up at the auto place and with in the 5 mi ride to sign papers at the outlet I was wheezing. They certainly do spray alot of nasty stuff in those cars. As we entered the shop they knew I would not take the car they brought. Too bad, it was a Trailblazer. Instead we drove off in the office manager's Pacifica by Chrysler. NOT comfortable and drives very wishy washer compared to our Passat. I think I will have it till Thurs or Friday so I will smile!

There is much reflection today as to that day several years back. I was at work and got an email that something was happening. We switched on the TV as we heard the first report of a small plane hitting the first tower and I was standing there watching live as the second one plowed into the second tower. That day will stay in our minds just like the day President Kennedy was shot in Dallas. I was in elementary school then, I was eating lunch. Today I will paint reflecting quietly for the lives lost and the families still rebuilding.

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 ...
