DETERMINED SPIRIT
Horse Painting by Laurie Justus Pace

24 x 24 x 2 inches Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas.
Inquiries: Laurie



I am awake and in the studio! Ready to paint in fact! Yesterday I painted and Mom was helping out here in the studio with edges and today I will be varnishing. We ran a few errands yesterday and are preparing to prepare. We are heading to Canada in about a week. My son will be moving in to care for animals and the house. He is off most of the time we are gone so it works out well for both of us!

Billie and Stephanie have found us a place to stay on the BLUFF of Lake Keuka. It is a three story lake house. Geez I wish we could bring our sailboat... Need to ask Terry about that one. Might drive and take it! Right now we fly into Toronto and will drive to Penn Yan. We are flying on passes and that seems to be the only city we can get through to. I will check more out today though.

Paddy Dog is missing Annie Dog. She went to stay with Morgan this week following his break in at his apartment. Paddy is so velcroed to my side, when I paint he lays UNDER the easel and puts his head on one of the bottom bars. I have two easels in the studio and yesterday when I was working he was laying in between the two easels. Morgan is bringing Annie home today. It should be fun and games again with two underfoot.

Today is a day to pass on a blessing. As we receive from the Lord, we should give. Scripture suggests that we receive blessing to the extent that we actually give blessings ourselves. God blesses us and we give on to others. As we share a portion of that blessing, God blesses us even more. The giving must come from joy with in; it must come with a cheerful heart to actually be sharing and giving to someone else, with out the thought of what will come out of it for ourselves. What can you share with someone today?

Grace,
Laurie

"All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 16:17

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 ...
