 After the Afternoon Rains
9 x 12  Oils on Canvas


A flash back from 2014 and a sweet small enticing painting 9 x 12 in size.  My color addiction really shows in this piece with my collected painted ponies!  Contemporary palette knife horses straight from my studio!

One of Those Days

 It was a delicious night of sleep... and I woke up late, but still dove into my Bible readings, which I do each morning. JOYFUL CELEBRATION greeted me... with remembering it is Holy Week. 

The sermon yesterday at Countryside Church was breath taking at many levels. Factual to the time of Jesus and what he experienced as he was falsely arrested, people falsely testified against him, he was passed from court to court only to be sent back to the original court. The Jewish Court that wanted him dead.  Our Pastor was very moving as he walked us through the timeline.  In truth they remind you of what is happening today.

As this Holy Week begins, I place my mind and heart with the celebration.  In life we are often brought to our knees with pain and anguish before we are brought back to the grace of God.  

I sit here blogging... headache creeping in. Hubby sprayed Lysol in the house without opening windows... It does not take much. I do not use Lysol in the house. It is not an organic product and I react to most things used today.  I did walk three miles this morning before eating delicious homemade oatmeal!  I am striving for this to not be ONE OF THOSE DAYS....not this week.  Keep my eyes on God, my thoughts on His words, and let go of all stress and worry.   You can do it too. It is a fabulous feeling not worrying about things. JOYFUL CELEBRATION...

Matthew 21:9
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

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 ...
