“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.” ― Mark Twain

 This is a painting that is available on my website.  It is an Appy painted on board with soft subtle colors. Reminds me of a young appaloosa, much like the soft wolf of yesterday. I have reduced the price 50% so it is the perfect time for you to consider this one for your collection.

 I think of moving things out each year and wanting to start fresh. I am hoping to start painting again at least four days of the week to get back in the groove. We are no longer keeping the grandson that we helped with daily for the past 14 months. God has opened our lives back up to do some of the household things we have not accomplished because of the baby's schedule and I can paint again.  It has been a love/hate affair in my studio.  At times I was ready to dismantle it and walk away...but then I would get a commission I could throw my heart into and God would remind me again of my gift and what my direction should be.  Acceptance. Giving Thanks.

 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably. Genesis 33:10

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 ...
