The Painting: Another approach I have been playing with. Part of being an artist is the need to explore and try out other approaches to representing things on canvas.  It needs to be original as well as part of who I am and the spirit within me.


Here are the links to the Appaloosa Website to see my art work. The Magazine is out in print as well.









Life at the Lake:  RAIN RAIN AND MORE RAIN.  I painted all day yesterday, still catching up from being gone. I would again have preferred to play. Terry is playing. He was modeling all day long.  And I mean all day long.  He is in charge of cooking and cleaning, but we did not eat until dinner time.  

Our day adventures found us heading in for groceries around 3 pm so he could cook something. We were about 5 miles from home and I spotted a huge PEACHES 1 mile   SIGN... and of course we went. It was a small country road... but a nice home with wonderful peaches and a big orchard.  Barbara was her name. They used to have 500 peach trees but only have 150 right now.  We brought home peaches, some for Vicky and Paul and some for us. Terry is planning on making peach jam. Any good recipes to suggest?  We brought the peaches home before heading back into town to the store.  Barbara told us she and her husband had moved here 22 years ago. They lived in Tall Tree for 12 years and then built the home they were in there.

The Thought:   Somehow the sparkly nail polish on my nails from the wedding is now peppered with black and Indian yellow acrylics...also have black paint on the back of my wrist that did not wash off in the shower because I missed it.  Even through the flecks of black and gold I still see the sheer silvery sparkle of the original nail polish color.


Reminds me of our lives.  God gives us such a new sparkling beginning...we are fresh to the world. Slowly through the years the flecks of black, gold, blues, greens, reds, yellows etc seem to build up on top of that shiny new surface. If we do not clean up after ourselves and right ourselves back with God, our sparkle is buried beneath layers of colors of paint that we spread over ourselves.  

Guess it is time to use the nail polish remover... the powerful stuff. It will remove it all and I will be back to the basics.


Maybe it is time to get back to the basics anyway. By the way, how was your performance yesterday?

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 ...
