Deep breath and start running! The House Painters finished up painting the outside of the house late afternoon yesterday. YEAH! They pulled all the heavy plastic that was covering the windows and I am no longer living in a bubble! Today they will be in the house working in the garden room repainting that area. Also had the window men here yesterday replacing windows that were installed incorrectly last week...well they put in the wrong windows. They have to come back next week to finish it as the wrong color insets were sent. Murphy's Law, right??

Murphy was obviously a man of great faith to survive it all!

I am writing on team work today. That could apply to families, friendships, working groups for pay or with out pay. In life we have to find a common ground to get along. When there is a team there is always a mixture of personalities. Yes, this applies to families too. No one thinks the same, no one shares the same background and experiences. Isn't God wonderful to bring us all together? Now we have to learn to let go and listen with respect to all the views and input from each person. Working in harmony we are able to reach higher than if we did it alone. God did not plan for us to be ALONE. Every person is filled with a lifetime of input to share and we have to work our way around difference in personalities or opinions.

I have the blessing of working with six members of Daily Painters on our advertising. The artists I work with are all incredibly talented not just in their painting, but in their creative ideas for the ads. I have to sit back in amazement as ideas come across my computer screen!
In American Art Collectors current edition DP has a huge spread of several pages near the back. This magazine is amazing so if you are somewhere that carries it, look up the ads from the DP's. I give thanks to the great committee I serve on and to Micah our leader!

Grace,
Laurie

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 and Shelia at the Southlake Lowe's in Appliances

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 law of sin at work within me” I can only speak for mys

Piano Girls

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Girl on Piano Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Our prayers are with the southeastern Gulf coast as a hurricane approaches. We have family and friends in this area. This painting was a more impressionistic piece than the Girl on Piano pieces from 2008-2010.  It is the tilt of the head and the precious lift of the hand with the outer small finger delicately angled. Not quite old enough to be using pedals, her feet are crossed below the bench. Back in the day of my lessons and playing in the late fifties and early sixties, young girls wore dresses. I miss those days. I still prefer dresses over pants today... even my studio jeans.  One of my modern girl on Piano pieces.... "Playing for Papa" These make incredible gifts for the holidays using music that is important to you or to the person receiving the gift. In the midst of commissions right now.  I loved playing for my grandmother and my Dad.  Shop other Av
