It was a wild day yesterday tramping through the woods carrying my guitar, camera equipment, white screens, tripods and jugs of water.   Ken says we are throwing shoot almost everything and I believe there is some voice over yet to do... and we will be done.

Terry posed on the dock with me for a still picture. We have not had any done in a long long time.  I can't wait to see it.  


The painting above is in progress.  This is one I promised to paint last year and am just now catching up to get it down. It will hang in the upcoming art show until I get some other piece finished.  Not sure where my time goes... being retired is hard when you never get a day off.

Yesterday I painted leaves. I had collected some on the morning nature walk and I traced them onto water color canvas... then begin laying layers of watercolor. Ken filmed that one.  Also work on this one for about two hours but I didn't get to shoot its progress yet... I will this morning when the sun comes up.

Terry was bit by a feral cat in our neighborhood so we spent a few hours at the ER last night.  Antibiotics was the main need and our neighbors are going to try and help catch the cat tomorrow morning.   It has not had rabies shots.  The cat and our dog had a tangle and Terry was trying to keep them separated...the cat turned on Terry's hand and clamped down pretty hard.  It is swollen a bit this morning but we will have the antibiotic prescription filled and keep a close watch out for the cat. Keep him in prayer please.
 Here is a shot I took today on the nature walk. I think Ken is using a panning of this area to open up the video...






May God's palette paint your life full of beauty.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”- Psalm 63:1

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 ...
