I can't seem to get a photo strong enough to capture the tones and hues in this painting. IN person it has a captivating appearance that pulls you into the center where you feel as if the horses are running around you.



LEAPING LIZARDS

I kept hearing rustling in the tissue among the presents last week. Sort of discouraging because of the large rat I know lives in the yard out front and I do not welcome him in the house. Yesterday as I was sweeping up and preparing the damp mop the wood floors, this little guy was sunning himself in the middle of the floor. He didn't seem to mind the photo shoot, but as soon as I attempted to scoop him up to put him outside, where I think he needs to live, he shoot back under the couch and I couldn't find him after that.


I have been praying about my art work and the different places I sell it. I have been so busy with commissions I have not had the time to do just daily painting and want to get back to the small daily paintings to sell on this blog at the MAKE an OFFER price or $100 or $150 per painting. My sales have been strong at the galleries and I realize not everyone can afford a large painting, nor do they have room for large paintings. So watch for changes.

Yesterday Terry and I scampered over the Jack Whitby Pianos in Mesquite area. I wondered as we drove up to this depressed area and there were bars on the windows and doors and the door was locked. You had to ring a doorbell to go in...but ya know, once we were in, I was in heaven. It was a shop full of pianos, upright, baby grand, grands, concert grands....everywhere. I have not played the piano in 22 days. I feel part of my soul slowly dying with in. I have played both harp and guitar daily, but they do not full fill the lifetime pleasure I have of 50 years at the keyboard. It has severe withdrawal symptoms and sadness. I sat for an hour going from piano to piano playing and listening, marveling over the keys and the action. Yamahas are too bright for my ears. Kawaii has a more classical mellow sound and is the one that made my heart sing. He had several restored older pianos, including Steinway, but they just didn't sing with the ease of the newer models. They were beautiful of course. I became educated enough to know it may be over a year before I can buy one. It will take that long to save up the money! I will continue to watch Craig's List, but this man's prices for me being a piano teacher were better than anything I saw on Craig's List this past week. I had hopes of finding something for $4000 range but it will probably be closer to $8000. They have been in business for three generations...and they warranty every piano for 10 years for any repairs. Sort of difficult being a piano teacher with out a piano....

I was reading Daily Word today and it referred to the parable Jesus shared that heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. With in each of us is this treasure and it is ours if we just believe. It is our warranty you might say. Abundance is there for each of us if we only believe and open our hands to receive what God provides for us.

Shalom,

Laurie

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”—Matthew 13:44

Like all of Laurie Pace's abstract horse paintings, especially, "New Year Souls" is magnificent and words are insufficient to describe it. I bought this painting becase it reminded me of my deceased parents and their first quarterhorses. "New Year Souls" now hangs on its own memorial wall with a painting of a memorial flower on each side of it: yellow on one side for my father because that was his favorite color and red on the other side for my mother and for a relative of Laurie's because their favorite color was red. I feel extremely blessed to have a reminder in my home of those so close to us whom we loved and lost.

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 ...
