Yesterday was Sunday, but I finished up this music painting and wanted to share it this morning. It is a commissioned painting and the buyer provided her favorite CD piano music for me to listen to and precious photos of her nephew playing the piano.  He is a very talented young man and it was an honor to paint this for his Aunt.    

I just got back the collector book for one family of the piece entitled  How Great Thou Art.
This is the cover.
 This is the title page...
 There are several pages of studio shots and then images of the progress of the painting. This is how I do the oil paintings as well. I take progressive shots of the work. From the birth of the painting, the sketches, through the drawings on canvas to the painting in steps until it is finished.
 More progressive steps...
 Bits and pieces... and again this is done with my oil paintings too.
 The Painting finished and titled.
 The back section of the book covers my shows.




Treasures in life are the memories that are made from the best moments we share.  Painting these are so important to me as I know how much they are loved by the families that write to me for them.  We carefully pick out the music and talk about the child and what type of look they are wanting. Also the type of piano and usually a photo comes with the piano they want represented in the painting.

What are some of the treasured moments in life for you and your family?  I was reminiscing about my memories on the piano from second grade on... I still play today and enjoy it so much.  My brother has the piano I loved and learned on at his house.  There were hours and hours of practice and love on that piano.  It was my best friend even after I got my guitar.  


God give us these 'treasured' memories to take us through the hard times in life.


I continue to pray for abundance and for good health for all of you.

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 ...
