Too cold to stick my nose out the window... it is still dark outside. I still have power but blogging quickly as the wind is strong. 

The kids came Friday and Saturday but everyone cleared out by five.... heading back to Dallas before the winter storm was breaking. They have sleet this morning.  We survived a mean game of Monopoly that Terry won, and wonderful Ribs in beef and pork that Justin made and grilled veggies... of which th sweet potatoes were my favorite.  I made a huge salad. We call my salads the OMA salads.  They are well known and loved. I have everything in them from raw corn to oranges, raisins, cantaloupe, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms etc. Then either a homemade dressing or a balsamic Raspberry vinaigrette.  Dessert was another apple crumble with my grandmother's crumb recipe on top of granny smith green apples.  January celebration of family and it was wonderful.

I do have pictures but have not emptied my camera.

I had an email from Jasmine Becket Griffith and she caught me up on her twitter and facebook stuff. I emailed her back telling her that her work is an icon in our art history now. Her work will be written about and talked about.  She paints with a passion and her life has been shaped and embraced by her art.  If you have not seen Jasmine's work... you should.  She is a one and only. 

What you see in her work, and I hope in my work, is a passion that we love what we paint.  We follow a passion and it fills us.  Are you doing what you love? If you say no, it is time to reevaluate your life and your direction in life. Things are out of balance and you are not in the right place doing the right thing.  I cannot tell you how to develop your divine purpose.  Something speaks to you from deep in your heart and soul and feeds you motivating you with energy to go forward and find your purpose and discover your true calling.   Do not let your inner thoughts and negativity keep you from your dream.  The perfect path awaits you, but do you have the inner courage to follow the path?

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 ...
