Fair Flowers was the giveaway painting for my February Newsletter. The winning name was chosen by choosing a number and finding the match to the number in my subscriber list. Congratulations to Kim Theriault from Texas. Kim has been a supporter of my art for over 17 years. Her son, Ryan, and daughter, Hannah, both took art from me as well as music learning to play the guitar. Hannah is in college now and Ryan heads there next year. I am really excited to do this giveaway every month. Some paintings are large ones, others are small ones.  Thanks to all of you and your supportive emails, I am painting on!

Heartful Flowers for February... 
I will be painting some flower paintings this month and trying some new ideas and approaches to the canvas. Some will be midsized and some small.  I have not decided what I will do with the practice paints, but assume it will depend on how they turn out!

February is all about God, love, flowers, family, friends and more. I love all the comments on the blogs for the free paintings. While diverse, each of you holds dear to you your family. 

Planning the Rendezvous. It is time for me to think about the Rendezvous. If I do not plan something it will not happen.  One thought is to fly to San Diego and go to the opening of The La Jolla Gallery.  We are blessed with airline passes as Terry is retired from American Airlines. The negative is once the merger happened last year, retirees load planes last.  So making a flight would depend on the load in the airplane.  Another idea would be a romantic dinner at a restaurant we have never been to. OR maybe Lady L and I need to plan a special Romantic Dinner for her parents and Bampa and I . Of course little sister, Lady M, could come too. Or we have a good friend with a second home in Ecuador... just food for thought. Any ideas?

The ordinary easily becomes the extraordinary: the sun's rays catching the dew on the naked empty branches of the trees, sparkling like diamond, or the brilliance of the sun bounding through the house filling it with light and warmth each morning.  Do you allow your spiritual nature to shine out to others? You have gifts to share with others. You are filled with divine love. This is February, the month to transform everything into the gift of love for others.The process is a thing of splendor. 

Blessings, Laurie

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 ...
