The Usual Suspects
32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. 
Mirada Fine Art 

The salt and pepper were added and I believe it is finished. Drying will be at least three to four weeks.  Then it is off for Mirada Fine Art in Denver. This contemporary wolf painting is waiting for a new home.

Okay, this cold has just about driven me crazy. Finally yesterday our temps were higher than 50 degrees.  I am tired of the same sweat shirts and long-johns each day trying to stay warm.  Terry has been a trouper keeping hot tea on the stove and hot meals coming from the kitchen while I am working. Friday he had prepared a 'snack' of black beans, guacamole  and chips... and then less than an hour later a baked potato with mushrooms and veggies on it. My tummy is getting overstuffed.  BUT this is NOT a complaint... it is thankfulness.
The beans were served with chips and gauc... the mushrooms and carrots were made to put on the baked potato.  It was all good.
Is it me or is Lent really late this year starting up in March? I have been so out of it for two months I am just now getting in sync with the time of year. The cold snow and temps are not helping and then realizing this is February...almost Valentines Day... my thoughts turned to Lent. Not yet. But good time to start thinking to prepare for it.

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 ...
