Commission

"This is love: That we walk according to his commands. This is the command as you have heard it from the beginning: that you walk in love." 2 John 6

The Violin

The year was 2008 and I believe in the summer or early fall that I completed this painting. The love of music in my life made it like a craving to take this commission of a young girl and her violin. This painting is in my "Do it with Heart Book" and a break in life showing you more of my roots in the tech age. I do not have much from before 1998 in photos on the computer.

My style was always more impressionism than it was realism and back then I had tasted the freedom of a palette knife and thick oil paints which in itself was an addiction.

Not in the book but two years later a simple commission with less restriction, but I truly love the one above the best. Using antique music and mixed media, I was in the midst of a piano painting frenzy and someone wanted their daughter and violin in this style.

The Bible verse above talks of walking in God's love. For me this applies in everything that we do... our work, our faith, our family, our friends, our life. To believe in our Father is to rest in His love. That means letting go of worry, fear, over-thinking things, controlling things, anger, anxiety... that list could go on... His love is the most power blessing we have and it is unending. He grants us mercy and forgiveness as well and provides amply for us each day. He provides what we need, not what we want. Life has taught me that His plans are exactly what I need, not the thoughts and control floating through my brain. Let go of those 'what ifs' or the 'I need' thoughts. Maybe it is old age, but it takes a whole lot of pressure off of you.

I am thankful for my daughter sharing her verse of the day with me... as I share it on with you!

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 ...
