Pop Art by Laurie Justus Pace

SOLD
Acrylic 24 x 36 inches


Popping in this morning with a blast from the past. I did a series of about 8 paintings in a POP art series. This is one of the first ones. I really enjoyed the preplanning, color placement and the distinct lines in this approach. Wanted to share something different this morning

Last night was THE GREAT DISCOVERY. I had gone several weeks ago to buy music because mine seemed totally lost. Music for the piano. To my knowledge we had unpacked every box except Terry's tapes, cd, dvds, models and model stuff. We attacked our giant closet in the hall and began cleaning things out and unpacking boxes stuffed in there. There was one box stuffed full of old Tapes for a tape player. He was going to keep them all and I gave him the look and said, "What do you see in my trash box?" He glanced over to my trash box. Inside laid the black and white Cow Morgan gave me for Mother's Day 17 years ago....also a big Beany Baby Black and white cow, art magazines, books etc...

I heard a grumbly "OK" and he began sorting through the music tapes. He narrowed them from 500 down to about 50. I was really proud! Not sure about the models yet. This all started because of traces of possible roaches around the boxes. I do not live with those things at all. I said NO MORE BOXES...and that is what we are doing. FINALLY, after five months. There will be a sell off on eBay of some of his models. He complained about storing them in the loft in our bedroom in large plastic rubbermaid containers because of the slight heat. I reminded him they lived at his dad's in a humid hot room for 17 years, and I truly didn't think it would affect them much more.


The last box in the closet, which by the way, I was sitting on.... was torn open to reveal my lost music. Tears rolled down my face as I touched the missing books of love! I raced to the piano and play a Sonata and continued to cry as I did. I can only describe it as embracing an old friend and feeling such comfort. That is what playing the piano does for me!


Compromise. God is smiling. I am smiling with my found music! Praise the Lord for discovery and divine order. Christ always leads us to our higher good. Roll with the changes in your life. Small changes sometimes through us into a loop, and huge changes can send us running back to bed under the covers. Know the Lord walks with you every step of the way, you can peek out from under the covers. See His light and feel His comfort. Now toss that cover off and get out of bed and embrace the change He has for you in your life. Remember what I said, "Christ always leads us to our higher good."

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 ...
