18 x 27 inches

Contact me to Purchase and mention the name of the painting. Laurie



Storms are rolling through the area with 60-75 mph winds. Perfect time to paint for me. I will catch up where I stopped yesterday afternoon.

NEWS FLASH: Morgan's apt building was hit by a tornado. He tried to phone a moment ago and the lines went dead. He said in the short time we talked that they were okay, but the damage around them was extensive and there were ER vehicles everywhere. I am hoping he will call me back. He lives in Carrollton, Texas.

Mark Maddux, in from Afghanistan, came by and set up somethings on both the PC and my MAC. We are still hunting a camera for the mac with FIREWIRE. Niki's son had sent me a logitech, which works plugging it in, but it doesn't work. In other words it works for chats but it will not put files on the computer where you can use it to record. I am trying to get back to where I can record directly on the desk top MAC PRO, or where people can skype me and watch me work on their commission painting. Even after a straight call into MAC at the apple store, they were zero help. I am sitting here prepared to buy a camera that will function on the MAC and it does not exist according to customer service. I have a hard time believing that.

My logitech tracks me in the room on the pc making it perfect for clients to watch me work on their painting. So we set the PC up to. I would prefer to do this all on my mac though.

Sometimes life seems like this too. You can visual where you are trying to get to in your life, but despite all your good attentions, you can't get there. Obviously God does not want you there.

I am off to paint with a long day ahead. Share the joy and your light with those around you today. Share a smile too! It will go a LONNNNGGG way.

Grace,
Laurie

“No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lamp stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”—Matthew 5:15-16

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 ...
