Going Back In the Hood . New Art Show opening at Dutch Art in Dallas . Wolf Painting 

Later this month I am excited about returning to the Lake Highlands area of Dallas for an art show with three other women.  It is the Colors of Lake Highlands.  While I wish there had been more lead in time to create new paintings, I do have six or seven debuting in the show.

The Wolves will be there along with flowers and horses and even a bowl of fruit.  I will be there too. More details will be later in the month on time of the reception and opening.

Every morning we are given a new day to open.  Our thought process from the moment we wake up sets the pace of the day. We all, yeah me included... seem focused on our agenda list and even before pushing back the covers, we have already covered it in our thoughts ten times readjusting times and places to make the day work.  Have you ever tried NOT having an agenda?  Maybe just a loose idea of one or two major things to accomplish and allow God to guide you through the day?  

Last week is a good example. The crashing Mac continued to crash and finally a week ago I gave up and hauled it into the Apple store. I am still under warranty.  One more year.  Long story short, the last day when I picked it up supposedly repaired early that morning, Terry and I were giggling and enjoying our day and walked down to Starbucks before the Apple store opened. I had a delightful large cup of iced tea, half and half and he had a coffee.  We were deliriously happy as we each picked out a muffin to eat.  We had no idea what was ahead in our one day.
  • Three in and out trips to the Apple store
  • One there to get it after it was repaired, one back only an hour later to return it as it was not fully repaired and then a third trip back to pick it up that night.
  • That is up and down the stairs with a heavy IMAC a lot of times added in with plugs and stuff to be set up.
  • An overachieving  police officer on a motorbike clocking us at 70 miles an hour merging into traffic moving 69-72 miles an hour (no we did not pass anyone, only merged)...but we drive a RED CAR.  Choose me...choose me...
  • Missing dinner
  • Spending entirely too many hours on this computer that day testing to see if it was going to fail.
  • The smart manager promising me a brand new IMAC if it was not repaired correctly.
The day was never our day...or it seemed that way. But in truth, it brought us closer together spending the time in the car, laughing about things...startled by the ticket, but snuggling close when we climbed into bed close to 11. It was God's day and it unfolded exactly as it was suppose to.  My agenda was quite different but I knew by 11 am that morning I would not touch one single thing on my to do list.   

 The grace of God fills our lives and I am ever thankful for each day and his 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...

Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Mid Summer Nights Gathering Good People Series #2 32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas.  SHHH..Do not tell, but I am done.  It may take two years for this painting to cure out. It has to head to Mirada Fine Art in about three or four weeks... meanwhile it will be banished to the room with the dehumidifier in it.  Stay tuned at Mirada Fine Art with Steve Sonnen for more details about what is happening to this "crowd" from my Good People Series.  In fact, drop Steve an email and ask to be added to the mailing list for this special gathering.  Good food, good friends and good art.   What more could you want?

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 ...
