The Painting:  This one is still trying to dry. I painted it last week before I got sick.  I love this approach to the canvas.  I literally pull paint and turn the canvas once.  Pull more paint and turn it again. It revolved around in several circles as I pull patterns of colors on it and from there the horses begin to appear. Painted with Holbein Duo Oils on two inch thick canvas, 20 x 20 inches in size.

The Thought:  The dramatics of a female teenager in the house are cause to pause and generally bring hidden smiles and laughter.  Things that would have sent us over the edge ten years ago finds us chuckling together at night.  With the response of ANNOYING for everything wrong with her chemistry teacher we had her brainstorm alternatives including just throwing in the towel and getting her GED.

I was genuinely impressed by the structure and helpful aids that the chemistry teacher provided.  She wants all notes in class taken only on the right side of the binder pages.  The opposite left side is to be left open to help you at study time.  Draw pictures here, make word games to memorize facts, complete smaller outlines to test yourself.  The left side if FREE for you.  The only rule is NOTES only on the right side.  We still cannot figure out why that is so difficult to understand.  There were things to glue in as examples of HOW to study for those that do not have a developed learning style.

Our suggestion was that she reconstruct the notebook for this six weeks. Hers is a MESS.  It is also a grade she needs more than a zero on.

God gives us chance after chance after chance to get it right.  He too provides a certain framework of structure in our 'notebook' and sets out expectations for us. We have that "left" side of the page to go crazy, follow our own plans and make decisions; permanent is what He writes as the WAY on the right side of the notebook.

Are you doodling too much on that left side of the book?  Take time today to shift to the right....pick up the Bible and read the word...His Word.  It is all there for us; everything we want to learn is there. Everything we need for a peaceful happy life is there. Open your heart and let it be filled.

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 ...
