The Painting: Living at the lake has made me more aware of colors and reflections.  This is a new organic horse series...enjoy! This is the first one in the series.  I will post the finished APPY this week.

The Thought:  I may be thoughtless at this moment as it is too early in the morning.  Yesterday was full of errands and painting and then to church for dinner and youth group for Leah.

When I think of reflections in the painting above,  I realize how our posture and gestures are a reflection of how we feel inside of our bodies.  Have you ever caught yourself in a mirror or  a window and been immediately aware of how you look?  If you are tired you may be slumping or bent over and tired. If you are happy, you will have a positive outlook and positive posture to go with it.  

If you cannot see it in yourself, look around you and see it in others.  You can easily read confidence and happiness in someone else watching them move through a store or walk down the street. 

Is it time to allow the spirit to energize yourself back into a positive reflection of joy? Shine on... and be a light to others.

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 ...
