Sunday Evening - Monday Morning Horse painting By Texas Artist Laurie Pace





This painting is available at one of my galleries and is framed.  It is I think framed about a 16 x 16 size.  Please contact me if you are interested!


Thanks.   Laurie
We are heading into Day FIVE/SIX without power.  This is getting old and patience is wearing thin. We picked up a generator but I can't function with it. It is like HUGELY noisy.   I believe we will have to bear the cold and return it.  I cannot believe this is so difficult.   I am writing this on Sunday night to post on Monday.

Most of our neighborhood has left... only a few of us stay guarding our homes and those around us. Two other family members and their households are with out power too.  Dallas is not prepared to handle the emergency that occurred this weekend.  

I promise as soon as things return to working power I will be blogging and posting paintings...well, once I can paint again. 

We have the gas burners on low in the kitchen maintaining heat for our birds. The dogs seem to be fine.  Maybe I can watercolor in the kitchen this evening.

Continue to raise up in prayer those in Texas so greatly affected by the snow and power failures.  

Laurie

Hi Laurie,
I'm so sorry you are without power for so long - what an ordeal. My power was off and on, on Thursday and Friday but thankfully is on. You're always welcome to come to Southlake anytime! I take it you have gas - for cooking/hot water? I am thinking of you and that perhaps today is the day the power will finally be restored!!
I love this horse painting - very soft and (should I use this word to describe it?) snowy.
Sending you positive thoughts - and if you need anything at all - do call -
Judy

Laurie, Prayers with you! During our last outage of 4 days it was very difficult. We bought a generator but you are so right - the noise is not conducive to doing anything but covering your ears! God bless and keep you all. Am sure things will be righted shortly!

Laurie, I love this horse painting! I just stopped by to say that I empathize with you having no power. During Hurricane Ike two years ago in the heat of summer over 100 degree temps, we were without power for 10 days. Doing without electricity with no cooling in the summer (in your case, no heat in the winter), no lights, no computer, no way to cook, just really nothing in a modern world, knocks one to their knees quickly. I read your post today that power has been restored. I am glad to hear it. Loss of modern day conveniences really can make one appreciate the everyday things we so take for granted. Sometimes we need to be reminded of our blessings. During the 10 days of no power during Hurricane Ike, we were forced outside to experience a new sense of community. In the cold days of winter, you have experienced a new sense of community around you. There is always a blessing to be found, but I'm glad your power is back on again.

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 ...
