The Painting: SHEER joy in the creation. Lots of water, and lots of color as the background is layered on in several movements and runs. Then came the sketching and the center layers (About three or four) and then can the top layers of heavy color pull.. endlessly... and breathlessly.

The Thought: Saturday was get it all done day hoping to have some rest and relaxation on Sunday. I was going to visit Dad but due to the past few days of lack of sleep and my knee being out of whack, I followed through trying to catch up on that darn list. I regretted it when I saw the picture my brother posted on the web. I miss my dad so much. You cannot put off seeing those you love today...they may not be there tomorrow, or you may not be there tomorrow.

I spent the day racing around picking up dog food or my starving pups. (Good heavens it was 2 hours past feeding time....yikes.) Then to the health food store. (Northlake Health Food Store, I have used them for 30 years or more, Steve is family to me.) Then to Albertson's for some groceries. I debated driving to Whole Foods and decided to save time and gas. Home to unpack groceries, clean out the refrigerator, clean out the pantry (Did you ever do that to clear out the expired cans? We have to do it all the time being a licensed foster home... I have one neat pantry.) and then clean the house. The Daughter helped with all the floors with out too much complaint leaving me dusting, mirrors etc. She did her bathroom and I did ours. About two hours later we completed that JUST in time for me to scramble dinner together. We had soft tacos, a family favorite here. Cleaning the kitchen was next and a dash back to the studio to finish up the painting above. I turned off the computer about eight and was in bed by nine.

That darn list looks pretty good. Lots of stuff scratched off. I told Terry we had to do packing for shipping on Sunday because TINK is coming today...MONDAY. I cannot wait! I miss that baby so much. One day I want to take her to dad. He won't remember her, but for those precious hours he will be with her...God is good.

So back to my original ranting of taking time today to see someone you love. If you can't see them, call them. Saying I love you and I care about you means the world.

Hey Mom... I love you!

“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1

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 ...
