A Hug Between Friends
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace   

This Horse and Child painting was a small palette knife painting that sold the day I finished it. The relationship between young children and horses can be magical and forever as they grow up together. She takes refuge in the closeness of her horse. 

Psalms 46: 1 "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."

He is our refuge ands strength....I thought the roof was lifting off early this morning!  I was up at 4:30 letting our dog out before the storm hit. The weather sirens began in earnest and there is no difference with strong winds or a tornado.  I stayed in bed with my dog next to me!  Hubby was up early with the noise and started breakfast.  Those 75 mph winds struck at 4:45 this morning. There is damage all over the Dallas Ft Worth Metroplex.  We seem to have weathered it well... Thankful.

This morning I found photos ready for the blog from years back, so I will be using them as I begin to paint again!  I also took out a canvas I had started with just the light blues and rose colors and had sketched out flowers... and began working it over. You can see it in the photo below.  You will be seeing some paintings not seen since between 2005 and 2009.  Enjoy! Contact me if you want a commission piece. 

Do not forget in Clarksville TN this weekend the WAOW aka Women Artists of the West National Show opens at the Customs House Museum.

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 ...
