Paris, Open Cafe in the Rain
by Laurie Justus Pace

4 ft by 12 ft

SOLD













I am one TIRED artist today. These are not even the final shots. It was late late last night when I finished up the faces of each character and that is not shown in any shots. These are shots Terry took While I was working. Scramble Monet and Renoir into this Paris Rainy Night Cafe with strollers under umbrellas in the background. A weary waiter is my favorite part of the canvas. May have to do one JUST of him.


Today I will be working on a 3 ft by 4 ft Conductor from the symphony. Muted tones so I hope not to fall asleep.

Starter Bread. Have any of you gotten any of the FRIENDSHIP STARTER BREAD lately? I had not had any since Dec of 1998. I was thrilled to get a bag yesterday. In ten days I will have mini starters that I can share and from those grow even more. So if you have a hankering to have some of that great bread, email me. I will fedex it overnight in the starter bag and we will get this rolling.




We should have the same enthusiasm with sharing and spreading the light of the Lord. I cannot ship that to you FEDEX, but I try every morning to put something small in for your thoughts to chew on for the day. This inner divine light can transform lives if we share it. My bread will come with "HOW TO" instructions for incredible yummmy bread. Through the sharing of our light with others we can provide the pure essence of God with the community around us. The "how to" instructions are simple... One Lord, One God.... and Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Just by example, living your life as a Christian will serve as a "how to" for everyone that knows you.

Grace, I am off to paint.
Laurie

"And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever." -- Revelation 22:5

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 ...
