Thank you for supporting Daily Painters!



Laptops are not my favorite when it comes to dealing with paintings and viewing them. I have no clue what this truly looks like. BUT I am up out of bed, it is 65 degrees outside and the sun is shinning. The HVAC man is here and they have begun there work. Our heat depends on the plumber showing up and when he will get here.

Today I will be working on a painting for the new gallery here in Texas. Size will be 3 x 4 ft and definitely not one of TErry's favorite to box. I am culling ideas over in my head right now so I am floating between oils and acrylics.

Painting in the kitchen yesterday afternoon was nice with all the light. Made me realize how much light I need to really get into my painting area. Diane wrote she uses big construction flood type lights... much to think about. But I wanted to drop in and blog quickly this morning. My days are so much later with out heat in the house as I wait for things to get warmed up before I can function.

God is one thing you don't have to wait on to warm up. In a blink his warm fills your every being. He fills your every need if you just keep your heart open to receive it. I like many others, often take off on tangents and forget to be still and hold my hands and heart open to his ways. This is Valentine's Day...a day of love, of sweethearts and candy and flowers. Call someone special and say I love you. I was called today already by a dear friend reminding me how special she is in my life. I give thanks to God for all the love he generates around us.


heARTS to you,

Laurie
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35

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 ...
