Mid Journey Sunset
COMMISSION - Oil on Canvas 24 x 24  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


 Heading to 106 over the next few days. This lively sailboat painting was a commission for a family on the East Coast. I will share the painting hanging up in their living room.  Terry and I have sailed our catamarans over the last 30 years. I told him I had to have a boat with sides these days. One like this would do!!!  This is with the heavy paint palette knife dragged horizontally instead of vertically. Crisp colors of a hot summer day on the lake just before sunset.



Cannot believe September is just a few weeks aways... like two and a few extra days.... Hoping this is the summer burn off week and by next back to the high 90s. 

We were surprised by a visit from Hubby's brother today, in from Georgia. We met him nearby at a Restaurant and overstayed visiting and laughing and sharing photos. Being with family is rewarding and sitting with the two brothers was amazing.  They even ordered the same lunch and the same ice tea!! 

The Pace family has always been a joy... there were 10 brothers and sisters for my father-in-law's generation plus two adopted children found left one day in a wagon rut on the road This would have been around 1925 to 1930 era. Family reunions really rocked with the best foods and best people. I will always remember my first one. I was so excited but it was overwhelming when I got  there. Laughter exploding everywhere and food filled the tables along the outside wall of windows. No one went away hungry because they had containers for everyone to fill their favorites and take them home!

Thankfully my recipe books hold many of those older recipes. Times of the past that are missed today.

Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
