  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2012 San Jacinto River Progress 5 x 8 feet Oil in Canvas SOLD I love this type of application in painting as I love the beauty of the colors mixing and blending forming relationships on the surface.  Every stroke is reflective of my signature or voice in this painting. This will be shipping in about two weeks to Houston so I am mixing impasto with the oils.    Words from my Heart ... www.ellepace.blogspot.com Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”  Romans 12:1 It is so easy to jump to conclusions in life when things are happening that often create that instinct to react and control things.   READ more here.

Again I have covered the back with a soft layer of Parchment Acrylic to keep anything not covered from sparkling white out to the viewers eyes.  I am wanting to keep this painting different than the other painting.  These are for a law office and will be hanging close so I do not want them to be paw paints of each other. The client like the horses in a prior painting entitled The Watering Hole (24 x 36 and at Mirada Fine Art in Denver) so I used a similar patterning for the composition and added a  fifth horse to vary things. “Fo...

Shared thoughts from my heart... God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:4 A good friend sent me a writing from one of her favorite sites and it created a lengthy discussion between Terry and I.
