SOLD SOLD SOLD



It is Sunday morning. I will NOT be painting today...at least it is not in the plans! I worked from four thirty a.m. yesterday until almost five last night. That was enough for me. Morgan came over and painted yesterday. He posted his work on artbyus.com and had it sold for the BUY IT NOW price in less than twenty minutes. Gee, mine don't go that fast! LOL

The painting.... Tom from Wyoming, one of my collectors sent me a list of things he wanted to see me paint and this was the first one I tried....my Mountain Goat. I had such a joy painting him! He is climbing, one leg extended upward on a rock...full beard and lots of color filling in the white coat. Enjoy. This painting is available...just email me.

We ate late last night up in Ponder. We had run to Penney's to do an exchange and then were going to eat...they were packed and we had to wait almost an hour. We sat outside on the bench with a huge glass of sweet tea and watched the evening clouds roll in with clouds but not rain. It was nice. We visited with a couple from Justin, well they live west of Justin. Hope to see them again...a lot of nice folks live out here.

Family and Friends are a great gift from the Lord. To walk and share our lives with others that believe and have mutual care and concern for each other. We are born into families that the Lord has chosen for us. They care for us and love us. As we mature and become involved in the world we begin sharing our lives with others and our "family" extends itself outward. I know I mentioned my joy at the Dallas art show of getting to meet some of you that read my blog..especially Kathy. Her smile lit up the tent when she arrived and it is forever etched in my memory of that weekend and will always be associated in my thoughts when I think of her. God is good in your life. Give thanks for family and friends....we are all one with God and one with the family of God.

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 ...
