Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

Contact Wendy Rogers at THE RED TREE GALLERY California for pricing.



Wednesday, is there a song about that? Other than the old saying of HUMP DAY and getting through it for the slide down to Friday, I can't think of anything.

The painting I have listed is available through The Red Tree Gallery in California. It ships there this next week along with some other pieces I am working on right now. Such an exciting time as a new gallery opens it's door. I am honored to be a part of this and give my thanks both to the Rogers as well as to our Father for the gift of art.

There are so many things in life we strive for and many things we cannot seem to get that we want. I am not addressing the physical, but rather the spiritual. If you are down and seeking happiness, the key is to act happy. Put a smile on your face and look in the mirror to see it. Do this over and over and you will find your life begins to pick up hope and happiness creeps in. My mom always told me, no matter what you do, get up every morning and put your face on. That alone makes you feel better. She is right, it does. I often go weeks with out makeup but the moment I put it on, and not a lot of it, but a bit of blush, mascara and some lipstick and my whole appearance perks up and I stand a bit taller and smile a bit easier.

I think that would apply to our journey with the Lord for so many that are in between on the direction of their journey. Take the step of faith and just finally say to yourself, HE IS IN CHARGE. Then let it all go. Even if you do not believe it fully, let it go and let your life be in His Hands. Fake it until you make it. It truly will work. Even when you doubt prayer works, pray again...and again....and again. Make it part of your life and your day and you will find one day that the Lord is woven into your life and he provides all you need.

This all goes back to Pavlov and his dog and Conditional Reflexes. Through the practice of prayer you will find peace.


Grace,
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 ...
