MORNING SAIL
Contemporary ART Sail Boat Sunrise Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace and Morgan Pace

20 x 20 inches of unbelievable thick thick paint. I can say that because Morgan painted the basic painting last year and I saw it hanging there and decided it needed some contrast and began playing with it.

SOLD THIS MORNING! THANK YOU!

Contact me if you love it and are interested in price: Laurie

Restoring

Restoration is a major area of concern with older prized pieces of art. So many pieces are NOT in galleries or museums where they are cared for to help preserve their beauty.

Terry bought me a porch swing yesterday with a canopy. I have a wood swing out front where we sit and watch all the neighborhood kids play...but the porch swing is on the porch area between the studio and the kitchen. My easel pulls out there and it is the outside extension of my studio and a place I can RESTORE myself. I will take pictures later today as it was dark when we finished putting it together. He also bought blooming plants for me to enjoy and paint outside, setting me up with areas to renew my thoughts. COLOR!!! God's beauty.

How about you? What is being done to restore you? I am not talking about restoring the look and body of you at age 25....but you, the real you inside. There is within you the graciousness of good, love and joy. There is a pureness of your heart that only our Father can see. We all keep it hidden from others not wanting to hurt. We protect it from the elements outside.

There are many things I can write about that you can read and but not feel. Certain things seem to come with age and the major one I have noted is wisdom about who I am. The "I AM" that God made. The pure faith that there are times I have to let go of those squirrels running around in my head, let go of the "what ifs" and slip into His arms and know He can heal me. For those of you that do Yoga or meditate, it is close to that same feeling. If you are able to sit still and quiet your thoughts, be aware of slight quiet noises around you and begin to zone out and only hear and feel your breathing.

That is when you are able to hear Him. That is when He is restoring you.

Divine Love Heals All.

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 ...
