'Spring Recital' Child on Piano Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace


'Spring Recital'
SOLD
18 x 24  Mixed Medium on Canvas

The NY Gallery is relocating at the end of this year. I had the owner send back some of
my favorite pieces so they were not included in the relocation sale.
THIS IS ONE OF MY MUSIC PIECES
available for sale directly from me.

I do not do very many of these keeping them highly collected. They are done with antique music from my grandfather. Most music from 1895-1925.

The Painting: RARE.. one of the few available. The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas has one mid size and two tiny ones and the Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole has one.... and I HAVE ONE!!! So if you are interested email me.  Laurie

The Thought:  A wild day of COLD weather at last.  We have waited a long time!  It is not going to freeze tonight but it will be done in the forties.  We are still waiting for a freeze for bugs to be deleted from our lives for  a few short months.

I hit the wall yesterday morning.  It was one phone call with one person asking for one more thing from me that I cannot give any longer and I lost it.  I handed Terry the phone and I literally hit the piano fingers flying and played hard and nonstop for almost an hour until I cried myself out.  I went from classical music to my hymnal. When I play out of the hymnal I start at the front and work my way back. It takes almost three hours to play every hymn.... I only went about 25 pages in... and I was calm again. Sometimes I think my music is like prayer.  Funny  things is when I play out of the hymnal I feel my grandmother's presence like she is in the room with her knitting listening to me play, just like she did when I was growing up.   So I felt God wrapped around me and her sitting near by just smiling with those clicking knitting needles.  I got up calm.

Do you have something you do that connects you to Him besides just words or prayers?  Believe it or not washing dishes is another place I connect.   Whatever it is you do, celebrate it. Every contact you make with Him is vital to you in your life.  Through words, actions and thoughts...He is there always.

So today it was appropriate to put up my Piano painting as a reminder of His grace....

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 ...
