SOLD



Things are crazy here. I have been trying to update my website but can't get there. I am doing a clear out sale of work from earlier this year still in galleries and a few pieces here. If you are truly looking for art, email me and I can send you the list and prices on the pieces. LAURIE

I sold three new pieces this weekend NOT on sale and then over the past 24 hours a few of the older pieces at good prices. Time to think about holiday gifts for sure, and I will take payments if necessary.

This morning I am late blogging as we had to drive out to the airport for Terry to do his vacation bid. He is thinking more about retirement daily as we make it through these winter months. I was waiting for him in the office waiting area this morning and a group of AA hanger managers and trainees were there conversing. One was remarkably nice and just getting off his night shift. Then there were two men training, new hires, and then two other men, one of which I was ready to brain, but prayed for him instead. Airline mechanics are licensed. They have to maintain their license YEARLY. At Alliance Airport, where Terry was for 12 years before transferring to the hanger at DFW, most of the mechanics held four year college degrees and two years of AP license training. I guarantee that is more than those managers had. The one spoke so condescending toward the mechanics in the hanger as if they were untrained animals. It caught my breath and took it away. Mention of teaching them and having coaches with them for 6 months at a time to train them how to do turnover. Help me Lord. Terry has been doing turnovers for 20 years. I think Management needs to watch how they talk in public. I reaffirm that one of the men coming off shift was not that way at all. Has to be one bad apple in every basket I guess.

Today beware of gossiping and talking where your thoughts are heard by other folks. You might look around to see who is listening but you forget the Big Guy is always listening. He knows your thoughts before you do.

I am off to clean up around the studio and finish up some ballerian sketches for four small commission pieces!

REMEMBER

JOY AND ABUNDANCE

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 ...
