This is part of his OIL POP MUSIC SERIES....contact me if you want to make an offer, even if it is a small offer on either of these pieces. The are both 22 x 28 so they are rather large paintings. CONTACT: Laurie but mention the painting's title.


RED ELECTRIC GUITAR





ALVEREZ ONE

The house is so quiet this morning... I will be dipping into my paints as soon as this blog is finished. Quiet anticipation and meditation as I prepare for the day.

Stacey might come over to do maternity shopping. She can't button her pants anymore. She is I think 16-17 weeks now which is WONDERFUL!! Panic Attacks come easier as she watches her body change. I keep her focused on the miracle happening with in! God is good. Mid October we might know if Tink is a Boy or Girl. THey are in the process of name choosing and both parents are not on the same track.

Morgan drove home yesterday and took baby dog Sasha with him. She is a mess, but a beautiful puppy. She dug up every inch of dirt in the garden room. Took me an hour to clean it and wash the floors yesterday. He hopes to be back at work on Tuesday. He has a standard shift truck and the injured foot is the clutch pedal. He has to be able to get a shoe on his foot.

SEE his foot in the bottom left of the picture? That is the post op surgery shoe he is in. His foot and ankle are bandaged and dressed with special meds in the dressing. Same with both arms. The other bad spot is the palm of his right hand. He lost a lot of skin and tissue there. Prayers are needed for a 40 day healing period.

Today I encourage you to keep joy inside of you. DEEP inside of you. True joy does not depend on outer circumstances, it comes from deep in your heart and soul. It is this pure joy that can keep you on an even keel where you are not disturbed by outward distractions. With this joy you will see life and the happenings around you in a different light. The troubles and difficulties that occur are fleeting while the joy with in is there forever. God Gifted you with Joy....so find your joy today!

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 ...
