RACE FOR HOME ~ Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

30 x 30 inches
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Art for the Home




Sunday dawns with new times and hours. The skies still are inky black outside and it feels like seven a.m. but it is truly six a.m. I am struggling to finish all of my blogging because I want to paint the sunrise this morning! This painting was completed with a wide brush and lots of contemporary color as I tried to capture the horses neck to neck racing for the stable.

Yesterday Stacey and I hit shopping at six and then off to Dallas to house hunt and have a girl day of hair cuts and facials. Terry drove in and we retraced our steps through several houses and had dinner at Sweet Temptations. (Yes Tom, we ate again...he mentioned to me via phone I was eating all the time according to my blog!) We returned home through the massive mess at the Texas Motor Speedway to our waiting pups. They were happy to see us after a long day away.

Do you ever feel pressured like you don't have enough time to do something? I feel that way with house hunting. I am already worn out after two days. This is the time you must remind yourself that you are beloved of God and HE has limitless resources ready for you. Feeling pressured I will spend the day painting and praying and meditating on the Lord. I will be counting blessings and listening for his divine guidance in our decisions. He will provide the resources I need and I will trust in him.

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 ...
