The Painting: Spice and flow created this unusual composition as I listened to the music of Bright Eyes. This is a group my future daughter-in-law loves and I downloaded it to my Mac so I could try painting by it. Made good moves with the palette knife!

The Thought: Vacation continues. I miss being in Montana and Wyoming this summer. We are rather stuck in Dallas heat and Terry continues to work on the bathroom. We have a special visitor this weekend keeping me way busy.

Terry unloaded all ALL ALL of his plastic model kits in my studio. There will be no painting until we get them relocated. This requires deep breathing for me. We get no where with discussions. When they were at his dad's house they were in a non air-conditioned space, but here, he wants them air-conditioned. Didn't seem to bother them the last 17 years over there. You can't really tell from the picture but the stacks continue behind these across the room passed his desk to the wall.




Breathe... I must center and breathe on this one seeking peace and calm. I am reassured we will find a solution.

The trick is when you are dealing with something you feel is out of hand... as you breathe in calm you exhale relief knowing God will take care of this and help find a solution. Thank Him even before one comes. Turn it all over to Him as I must these models.

Be renewed in what you do today... breathe

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 ...
