INTO ACTION
Abstract Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

15 x 30 inches

SOLD



Yesterday was a full paint day and I will paint this morning and finish up some paper work and then head into the weekend with the thoughts of a day or two off from the studio.

Today I will finish up a greyhound soaring across a canvas and will start a horse painting for a collector in the UK. Then I may work on a ME piece...a painting with no rhyme or reason, but one for applying technique and care. ALSO have to finish a new PATINA 2 painting for Patina of Marble Falls. They sold Patina 1 and I will keep their series going with a new baby to send their way. All of the Patina Series are 3 ft by 4 ft and can be purchased through John Stange at Patina of Marble Falls. Watch for this after the weekend!

Rain is falling and the lightening is making a tremendous light show in the dark early morning sky. It is a fast moving storm though and is blowing through quickly. I can hear the birds in the pear tree outside on the side patio. My poor little Annie is shaking and hiding under my feet. I am typing with one hand and stroking her with the other. She is not a lover of storms. Usually we medicate her but this was a small storm and passed over quickly.

Storms seem to move into our personal lives suddenly and often send us to our knees or under the covers in bed. It is trusting protection from the Lord that assures us of our safety. He is our rock, our fortress, our shield, our stronghold and our strength. The umbrella of His protection shelters us from all storms in our lives. It does not mean we will stay dry, we won't. We will get wet and whatever waters we must wade through, He is next to us. When it gets too deep, trust He will carry you. His voice whispers in your heart encouraging and guiding you. You can hear it if your teeth stop chattering from fear and you calm yourself to listen to Him in the quiet between the rumbles of the storm. You are never alone to face the storm.

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 ...
