'Grandmother's Pink Peonies' Flower Oil Painting by Laurie Pace

'Grandmother's Pink Peonies'


24 x 30 inches 
Oil on Canvas
SOLD



The Painting: Thick Holbein Duo Oils in this bright smiling peony painting. It grew as it expanded on the canvas.  Several days of layer and reworking and this "happy" piece was done.

The Thought: Morgan is in the process of moving out to his new place in Lewisville.  My list... well I did two things on it yesterday and did all the floors in the house and some wash.  Not sure what I will do today, but the list is still there should I get bored or lifeless and need direction.  I almost volunteered to drive one of the filled trucks to his new home, but I thought twice and stayed here instead to work.  I am behind about a month on bookwork.

We are missing seeing the baby. Tink is going to be grown in a blink.  I think we might get her in about a week. Everyone is off on Monday for holiday and I am hoping we are going sailing weather permitting.

Permission is an interesting word.  Authorization to do something or formal consent.  That is the definition in the dictionary. (Do kids even use those now days?  Remember having dictionary tests and putting things in alphabetical order? What do they do now?  Sort by alphabet?  I think that is a computer command.)

As we become adults in the world we often just take it upon ourselves to think we have freedom once we are on our own and 21 and self supporting.  No longer do we have to get permission from anyone to do things.  At the spur of the moment we can do whatever we please.

Maybe that is one of the missed steps in our lives.   As adults we need to stop and think about "permission".  This may be the time to stop and pray and seek His permission or approval of what we have in mind.  Seek the Lord; seek permission; seek His blessing; seek His grace.

"Father May I?"

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.T” Matthew 28: 18-20

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 ...
