MUSIC MONDAY STRING NUMBER 3
Guitar Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace and Morgan Haskell Pace

24 x 18 x 2 Oil on Deep Canvas, Needs no frame.

Contact me to purchase and mention the title: Laurie




Morgan was over last week and as always he picks up a guitar and hits it hard. He broke another string. He will be banned from my guitars at this rate. It is a pain to go buy strings. AND what I do not get is his generation basically is not responsible. IF I broke something of my mom's I would be falling all over myself to fix it. He will do nothing...so I will be changing my attitude with him now. At 27 he should be responsible...right?

This painting we did together. He needed to paint and I sketched it out and his remark was, I don't want to paint guitars, and I said, OK, I will. I started pulling the layers and he got really excited and jumped in to work with me. This piece ROCKS. IT has paint a half inch thick in places. The little knobs to adjust sound are dimensional as they thick mound off the canvas. Same with the bridge and the strings.

I ran up to the Dutch Art Gallery to see how things look...wow I was impressed. I will take a few more piece up there today for them. How I wish you all could come see everything...humm, I could take my camera IF I remember.

As I woke this morning I realized it was 9-11 on my alarm clock. I began my day in prayer and remembrance. Who could ever forget what they were doing that day. I was at work and heard the first news on the radio and we turn on the TV. At that time it was a small plane had hit the tower. We had no clue what was ahead of us as we turned our eyes to the screen and actually watched live as the second plane struck. Our lives change in an instant. It is one of those things we have no control over. The only thing that gets my husband and I through each day and especially the stressful times is our faith that God is in control as everything around us craters into pieces. He has a plan.

We have friends in Houston already beginning to pack up and head further inland. The storm has changed it's path a bit and we are still hoping we see some rain. The eye will pass over Mt Vernon area where Paul and Vicki Fletcher are. Vicki was going to hand wash all her windows this week but is holding off until after the storm. Sometimes waiting on the Lord is the key to developing patience and flexibility.

I am off to paint and finish up some things for the show and then will be working on some new pieces with Psalms.

Grace,
Laurie

"But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you."--Psalm 5:11

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 ...
