Flower Painting, Blue Hydrangea and Pink Geraniums in Pots by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

Blue Hydrangea and Pink Geraniums
Bobbie Jean Pots
Talk about OUT of the BOX... this is it for me. I have pots from my decease mother-in-law that are wonderful. THE REALLY old clay pots. Terry filled them with different flowers for the summer and I sat outside and sketch this out on ...hold on... 6 x 6 inch linen canvas paper.  Then I work in acrylics for a change in pace.  If I can get out of my box, you can too! Enjoy this tiny beauty... ready to slip into a frame and enjoy.

While I was working on my plants and pots... Terry began painting. He is very good in art with drawing and rendering. He has not painted in years. Tomorrow you will see his sailboat painting.


MOVING FORWARD

I wrote a friend in North Carolina yesterday about my life.  Right now I am so exhausted I am struggling with health... mental and physical. The trip to Santa Fe took all of my spunk out of me... it was a hard turn around. What I do know is life is continuing to move forward. My choice is to know with confidence that God is in charge and He has me close in His embrace.  If I did not believe this I could not make it through this day or the next one.

One's fears and anxieties and issues keep you from living life forward. It is like trying to drive your car with the emergency brake on.  To move forward you have to not empower those things in your life. Refocus on Christ and keep Him centered in your life. While you are powerless, He is not and He promises to care for you in all ways.

Refuse to give into the problem. Celebrate an understanding with God and move forward to prosperity. Make room in your life for His highest good for your life.

In the club 47 challenge I am averaging 45 min a day in exercising.  Totaling for the past 6 days I have 165 minutes invested.  Hopefully today will add another 45 minutes putting me at 200 minutes for the week.

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 ...
