Passion RED ~ Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace

18 x 27 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Art for the Home




It is already light this morning. I almost slept through and am still struggling to keep my eyes open. I actually did a commission piece like this one this week and painted one to sell I liked the first one so much. Smooth buttery oils in brilliant red. Very stimulating.

Spent the day yesterday house hunting. Found only one but it is in a Neighborhood of the Cookie Cutters...but it does have a huge area to paint in and a four car garage. It is also new, but not in the area we would have chosen first. We received back the house inspection on the house we really like in the Dallas area and it has some pretty complicated issues which makes it truly hard to decide whether to take it on or not. I am praying Lord, I can't read these Detour signs, I need them in English.

When we got in last night it was late. Probably close to nine. Put the dogs out and Paddy was fine going out the door, but coming in he was not putting any weight on his front paw again. Still the same this morning. I am going to keep him quiet all day and it will be a trip to the vet on Monday if he is not better. I am thinking he has sprained it again catching his foot in one of the huge cracks in the back yard here.

Today I want to say thank you to all the wonderful artists on Daily Painters. Fabulous artists with unbelievable talent. To be a member in this group is not only an honor, but an uplifting experience to work with such professionalism. Make sure you click on the Daily Painters slide on the right side of my blog and go see all the wonderful work. I give thanks today for all the wonderful folks in my life. I am truly blessed.

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 ...
