I was so ready to be out of the office last night at eight. I had been in the office since 6:30 yesterday morning... but the effort brought about the birth of a new website, actually two...but one is not done yet. This was something that actually took about 48 hours almost in a row.

The first one was to revamp the site www.ContemporaryFineArtInternational.com 
 
This is a site owned by Kimberly Conrad out of Colorado.  She, Diane Whitehead, Judy Mackey, Mary Jo Zorad, Pam Van Londen, Amy Tuso and I have all been laboring over putting together state daily painting blogs.  The result was to combine into a site Kim started last year and go full tilt. It will take weeks and months to get everything fully up and running, but there is much to see.  To find all the state artists, you will have to navigate to ARTISTS BY LOCATION and then to UNITED STATES and then to the different states.  The only other way is the first page where there is  a list of artists but NOT updated fully. That is on the agenda list.  Seems like only God can do those things in a day. 
 
The slide shows, those were God's.  I do not know how but I do know it took literally hours to follow the hand written directions I had from Susan Moss Cooper of Artists of Texas.  She took a course in FLASH and told me every step last year. I had put slides shows up on my site and the AOT site, but this was an undertaking of FIVE SHOWS on one page all changing at different rates.  Only God can do that, not mortal artist.  PLUS I had just loaded CS5 on my MAC and I only had instructions for CS3. I had to use the older program. 

So now maybe the site will take less work by the week and I can start painting again. I have two commissions I will be starting this week and will be sure to take shots along the way.

The other site I labored on only has a holder page up...but Hall Groat II was so sweet to allow us to use one of his Paintings on the site. If you love the painting, click it and buy it.  Our daughter is going to follow her dream and make your dreams come true!  I believe she will ship across the country once she is up and running so stay tuned.

Hall has it for sale.

Post note:  I reflected on the verse below as we are all guilty of saying things at one time or the other and regretting them.  Sometimes I regret the wording but not the frustration, but definitely the choice of words and loss of calm.  When one takes the time to ask for forgiveness and then is rebuked back, you need to forgive again even when the person cannot forgive you.  My mom reminded me that only you stand before God and He knows what is in your heart over every situation that occurs.  Judgment is His alone, not anyone else's.

Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.--Proverbs 12:18

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 ...
