The Painting: THICK OILS... passionate color, two horses, no impasto.... need I say more?

The Thought:

I was checking up on the Winsor Newton competition where I am attempting to win $1000 in art supplies for the foster children in North Texas through Covenant Kids. I only submitted ONE painting into the contest. Many folks submitted MANY paintings. If you look at the page I have pasted below you will see that there are only four artists in the top eight. PLEASE support my White Arabian Nights with five stars as I would love to donate these supplies to Covenant Kids to be used in their foster homes.

This pictures hyperlinks to the top eight paintings.
To Vote please click on my White Arabian Horse to the left of my blog or once connected on this page vote directly on the painting from there.




CLICK on the White Arabian (in purple) to the left and please give a five star rating supporting the gift to Covenant Kids. Pass it on to friends if you have already voted. There are only a few weeks left.


We are still on Vacation. Terry is still tiling the bathroom. I did not realize this would be such a daunting task but he is a gifted mason and very particular along the way. He rips it out if he doesn't like it and doesn't think anything of it. I guess I am that way when Painting. If I have a painting almost finished and it is not working, I do not think twice before wiping it off the canvas and beginning it again.

I am glad God only did that once to mankind. He wasn't happy with where we were and sent the huge floods. I am glad He does not do that to each of us whenever we appear to be going in a wrong direction or mess up our lives. We seem to do it to ourselves. We have choices everyday on what we choose to do and how we choose to react to things happening around us.

Choose your battles carefully.

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 ...
