The days are sliding by faster than I can count. This painting was finished on Friday. It is a large one and the photos of it are not the best, but in person it is pretty dynamic. Thick paint with a play on contrast and color as always. The background is a mixture of quinacridone Orange and Madder blended in different values. Enjoy!

This move with my father in law is pretty dramatic when you think of changing your life after the same house for fifty years. I have discovered it is almost as tragic for my husband being left with the responsibility of doing this along side him and the looming absence of his younger brother to share in this closure and responsibility. Feelings dip and climb and his outlook on it all changes hourly as he faces so much seemingly alone. I am there in spirit and for Moral Support, but I am not a strong person physically to actually MOVE things. Altho with Stacey last Saturday we made a huge dent alone before Morgan caught up with us.

I think what is impt here is to be aware of the promise of healing in all relationships if you allow God inside. True forgiveness is as unconditional as true love for another person. Forgiving is to forget and move on with trust. All relationships require work and often in life the give and take slides totally to one side if it involves old age and the many illnesses that can occurs. I sit in amazement watching my own mom with my dad and his alzheimers. She carries the load 110% now in their marriage. Look around you today. Examine your own relationships and see where they are in growth. Let go of old feelings that still simmer with in you...make some changes with in.

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 ...

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 ...
