Beta 
20 x 30 inches Acrylic on Canvas. SOLD 

Acrylic painting and Oil painting both have strong individual qualities. Well, so does watercolor... every media has its strengths and weaknesses and every artist has their strengths and weaknesses working with the different mediums. I was watching a short video on Facebook from another painting doing a floral piece. It was about two minutes long, and watching them work the paint I would have thought it was oil and it was not, it was acrylic. 

So no matter which medium you choose to work in, continue to practice working in it daily if you can. You cannot get stronger in your art unless you make time for it. The second challenge comes with finding your voice and personality in your work where you are not imitating another artist's style or work.  We all own our own 'voice' in life and we need to own our own art.

Beta was painted several years ago when we lived at the Lake.  I really was pushing the edge of trying something new with painting for myself.  Finding confidence and feeling strong about a new process is not easy.  I know right now I have several things bouncing around that I want to get into the studio to try and family things have intervened with the calendar and the day, but family comes first for me and I know in time this week, I will clear the day, ignore the dust and be back in the studio painting.  

Today the roads are frozen. Schools are closed. We have 'day' care of Lady L while her mom is visiting a grandfather in the hospital in another state. I would not miss these moments for anything, and every moment remains an inspiration to press on.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

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 ...
