'Triple Red' Summer Flowers Oil Painting by Laurie Pace

'Triple Red'


18 x 27 inches
Oil on Canvas

The Painting: It was a red day and I immersed myself in values of red highlighting with rich oranges and soft yellows.  A complimentary background of green pops these summer beauties right off the canvas.


The Thought:   Did you ever wake up in the morning NOT wanting to do what was on the agenda for the day?   Sometimes we want to break free of the monotony or the constant demands on our schedules and just be free.


What is being free?  Free to skip out on premade plans and obligations? Free to walk away from responsibility? Free to lay in bed and read  a book?  Each of us has our own vision of freedom.  Unfortunately in our world it is not easy to find freedom.  We have cornered ourselves and covered up our freedom with our lifestyles.  We did it to ourselves, no one else did.


Today would be the day to embrace the idea of spiritual freedom.  It has absolutely no limits. You have the choice on what thoughts pass through today and what fills your heart.  Choose today to fill it with love and thanks staying in constant contact with God today.  You will find yourself breaking through many of your own self-imposed limitations by indulging in spiritual connectivity with God. 
Choose encouraging words today.  Choose uplifting thoughts. Create new positive habits and enjoy new freedom.

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 ...
