It is the fourth day of Christmas already!  Night Escape grew out of deep violets and finding colors with my knife to create the browns and contrasts with the bright green. This palette knife painting is not for the faint of heart. 

I cannot tell you how very touched I am by all the email that has come through with the sign up for the 'promised newsletter'.  As you might remember, I have not been diligent of writing or sending one out to you. I told my daughter it almost made me nervous being this responsible because i know how much I hate emails every morning. She keeps assuring me that it is only one a month.  Your emails to me have warmed my heart and sent me in all directions with ideas of things to come. 

One new collector-to-be saw one of my prints in a restaurant where she works and although she is not a 'horse lover' she loves the painting because of the lines and colors.  There may be more to come on this story as we are corresponding on how to 'fix' that!  Another follower, a fellow equine artist, wrote me that she was moved by my use of color and freedom with my knife.  It is an honor for her to write and share her excitement about my work.

So, once I get through all the paperwork of the season, and find my balance, Lady L and I will be painting daily. Right now she comes over and does watercolors while I am working. She takes a break now and then and helps put up things on the shelves. Moving the studio upstairs is still something in progress.

She loves unpacking the boxes and seems to be as addicted to color as I am.  Looking into the new year and knowing she has a new baby sister due to arrive soon, I know this 'mini me' granddaughter will be here more hours each day.  You will get the opportunity to watch her grow and paint along side of me. 

You might say she has big shoes to fill, but I think of it as Big CANVAS to paint!  She is suddenly falling in love with painting more details on her flowers Her grandfather discovered a long packed book last week with full pages of brilliant color and flowers. She will sit and lovingly go through the pages oohing and ahing over what to paint.  I will make sure I feature her work in my newsletter as well. You might want to start collecting Lady L pieces.

The year is drawing to a close soon. There is a satisfaction of seeing this year pass with all that has confronted us on the journey. God has a plan for all of us. 2015 gives us that feeling of starting anew or starting again.  I would love to see you each not worry about resolutions but think about things that are important to you personally.  I will share more on this thought later. Only so much fits in a daily journal.   I will work to make these entries something you look forward to each day. And if you only stop by once a week, I want to make it count.

Blessings as we count down 2014.

Laurie


Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.”
Luke 2:28-32 NIV

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 ...
