The studio almost echoes around me. I am preparing to paint a small longhorn for a commission that will go to Austin and work on a portrait of a young girl and her horse, also a commission. These will travel carefully to my mom's for drying as this is my last day to paint until we are in the new house. This is one of my favorite scenes to paint and they are all different but contain the same flavor of color and thick paint. Even prettier in person, these slip right into a frame and hang so nicely capturing light all around.
Terry spent the day in the garage packing paintings and packing in general. We are both pretty worn out and just starting the process. In the midst of it all, my daughter sent out a dismal email saying they had closed her office and she was jobless. Merry Christmas Stacey Beth. This is a gift yet to open, a journey yet to make. God has something for you out there and as your Pop said, "She is my survivor child, she will have a job in less than two weeks." God is directing you in one of his infamous detours. Hang on and trust the signs He gives daily and pray constantly.
We are there with this house. Still unbelieving it is happening even as we are paying dearly to have old carpet yanked and beautiful wood floors installed through most of the house. Terry will tile the bathrooms and the kitchen early next year I believe. We will see how it goes at least. Watching for those signs....those detour signs.
Gotta paint!
With His Love,
Laurie
