Sunday morning found Terry and I sitting out under our huge trees in the back yard. I was counting redbirds, woodpeckers, mockingbirds, sparrows, bluejays etc. The sun was just breaking through the trees and we have a huge canopy of three trees sheltering the yard.
It is gorgeous.

The house painters will be here tomorrow to start prepping the house for paint. YEAH! After the house is painted we will take new pictures. The last project will be our shower.

August Rush. Have you seen the movie? Morgan bought it for me for Mother's Day. I had not watched it and he was over yesterday working on a commission painting. I was sitting out in the yard reading my book. After he was done he said, MOM, you are coming with me. He took me into the living room and popped the movie in. I was fed chicken soup with cheese on top, crackers and white wine. YUMMM. The best part for me was the special time with my youngest son. He knew how bad my neck and back were hurting and he knew if he left I would be back in the studio working. He made the decision to stay for another two or three hours and spend the afternoon with me.

The movie spoke so clearly to my artistic heart and musical soul. If you have not seen it, it is a good family movie. I would say ages 8 or 9 and up. I truly don't recall language issues, but there might have been something in there, but basically it was wonderful. Robin Williams plays a bad guy you want to hate and you end up hoping he goes away.


It is a perfect example of God's energy through out the universe and how it streams through all of us fueling our different gifts. Enjoy yourself....go rent August Rush and share it with the family.

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 ...
