Yellow Bowl of Roses
Flower Art by Laurie Justus Pace

11 x 14 inches on Linen Panel

SOLD


RAIN RAIN RAIN...and then SNOW SNOW SNOW. Yesterday it was 75 degrees and beautiful for the past three days. Late last night the rain moved in and temps have plummeted to the low forties and still dropping. The storms woke us both about three this morning but we dosed back asleep under the warm blankets until almost nine this morning. What a blessing it was!

We are off to Whole Foods, Asel Art and back home to work. I have several commissions to finish up here. The painting I posted today was from an antique yellow vase I have that has to be close to 100 years old. I just repotted things out in the garden room and pulled the use of some of those flowers in the antique bowl. It bring life and light on a rainy day.

I did not want to use the word gloomy attached to rainy. When the rain woke us at three I began to pray and meditate. I imagined reaching my arms to heaven up through the rain and feeling refreshed and washed clean by the Father. Only He can provide that deep sense of peace and refreshment. I pray for you today to share with me in the celebration of Spring and the new growth beginning around us with this wonderful rains. (Even if it is predicted to snow tonight in Dallas...we have not had snow all winter and here it is March!)


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 ...
