This is a first in a series for this wonderful new store/gallery in Marble Falls Texas.


John and Marnie are almost ready to open their new shop! This one will be shipping to them in the next few days. It is a HUGE painting filled with color, THICK buttery paint, ridges and texture. Follow along as we make our way through the PATINA Series! Yes, the store is Patina!

I am not accustomed to being up so early.... well, I have been my entire life, but since the flu and then the loss of heat etc.... Seven thirty was early....here I have been in the studio working since five thirty, about 45 min ago.

Terry is back at work today. Hopefully he will continue working on the light issue in the evenings. It is not too bad living like this...I have to play my piano in daylight though. I usually play at night about eight, so I will have to adjust my schedule. In fact, they are coming today to tune my piano. YEAH!!

PAINTING is the passion today and I will be doing that! I have about four things already sketched out on my canvas. I sketch in diluted oil directly on the canvas.... so I have proportion and balance established in a rough from . It is from there the work evolves. DEEPER into the work as it develops.

Father God wants us to do that too....go deeper and evolve. His word is to be a lamp in our darkness...so we can find a path in life. It is through study and sharing with others that we gain insight and comprehension to the deepest meanings in the word. With caution on interpretation, it becomes our task to read and pray as we take in His word. Hidden treasures lie within, ours to discover. Pray to keep your heart open and teachable. Keep your mind and body open to change as you read and study. Be diligent and feed your soul daily. I am not sure about memorization at my age...I have a hard time remembering so much, but the verses I memorized as a child seem locked in...but try memorizing a short verse and using it daily for several weeks until it becomes yours.

Grace,

Laurie

"He who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." James 1:25

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 ...
