  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Blue Mist  24 x 30  Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This is a painting completed last year. It is indeed available on my website with close up shots, and if you love it and want to make an offer, please email me . It is in my top ten favorite list for the past two years.  I have the photos I took as I worked on this baby and was looking at them yesterday and thought... how did I do it?  It is the Holy Spirit working for sure through my hands.  I often feel I am on a journey without knowing the destination. Having to just sit back and not try to control is always the hardest thing for me.  For some reason this past week a bible verse or rather an entire Psalm has filled my every thought.  As I recited it over and over in my head I knew I was missing a line but could not figure it out and turned to my b...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Northern Exposure  Size: 8 x 10 inches     Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Color and contrast are the backbone of this fast moving pair or horses... to me they looked like they were flying across snow with a brilliant morning sun. Thoughts went to Alaska for some reason, hence the name Northern Exposure. Make sure you visit my available paintings and look at the close ups on this baby. The paint is really piled high in layers. Sometimes life is that way too! The tree we planted a few weeks ago has shed most of it's leaves. The arborist says watch and maybe new ones will sprout but I am dubious on this one. This tree looks pretty done. I imagine God spend time watching to see if we 'sprout' new leaves after our trials and temptations, or if we basically give up.   However, the Most High does not live ...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse 44 Three Mares in the Pink of Things 8 x 8 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Yeah there is 'girl' talk going on here. I debated only a few seconds on this one because I absolutely fell in love with the structure of the horses as they appeared to the paint. The motion of palette knife strokes and blends. The painting is different. The Painting is NOT the same. This piece is for a 'strong of heart' person. Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.  But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse 43 After the Storm 28 x 56 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Back in the studio after the Memorial Day Weekend. Terry has been helping me move things around so I can work better and enjoy the space. We hauled a lot of art things I was not using out and several cabinets. The result this morning was me going in and working on several small pieces for this week. I had a request for a small painting in the same strong colors of Rocky Mountain Sunrise from last week. This is it. My tiny reflective version of the piece. I hope you enjoy this small horse painting as much as I did painting it, with a smile on my face. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 #hors...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse Painting 42 Herd of Painted Ponies   9 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  YUM... that is what I felt looking at this baby!  I love working with Carmel brown, now called Brown Pink. Never have found the 'pink' in it, but I love the color. So many small horses appeared in the background of this painting that it created a full herd.  Today is our wedding anniversary. Terry and I have been married forever... or it feels that way. When you have been with someone so long that your heart beats together and you know each other's mind as well as sensing the mood or thoughts... you know each other well. That would be 49 years of knowing each other.  A long time!  As I mentioned yesterday, we met in 1965. Seventh Grade, Lake Highlands Jr High School.  Our bowling date ... we were not doing mu...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 White Wolf Joins the Pack  32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  The seasoning is complete and so is the painting. It will hang and dry over the next few weeks and ship to Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole for the summer season of tourists.  I am hoping someone will like this wolf pack and take it home with them! Summer stretches out before us... the backyard is a refuge of delight. Chimes ring in the strong southern summer wind, the garden is blooming and growing, the grass is green and the trees shade the backyard.  The multitude of flowers Terry has bought me splash color throughout the patio and yard. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 #horsepainting  #lauriepacea...

     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Horse Painting 41 Sun Breaking through the Rain 8 x 10 inches Oil on Canvas Panel. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Colors were fun in this painted pony.  I actually got stuck working on it with the ice green I was using. There are not many colors that work well with it but the final result was stunning in person. Not sure this photograph does it justice.  Our anniversary is this weekend coming up... still trying to decide what to do since he is all casted up and unable to do much with his right hand.  Morgan and Kelly have their anniversary this weekend as well.  I thought about dinner at the Classic Cafe in Roanoke.  We did that last year and had a wonderful time.  Cannot really travel well like Terry is right now.  More about our anniversary on Sunday... that is the special day.  My brain is in ov...

Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Most of this piece is established and sitting for me to study it.  This is the 'soup' in the pot simmering, still lacking some salt, pepper and basil. I am going to take a break for a few days and study it and then by the end of the week post the final painting.  My watering began early this morning just after seven. I was a bit disappointed that the temps were not as cool as they have been.  Terry has nine more days until the cast/bandage is removed and he is released to 'water' again... I cannot wait.  When he has his eye surgery in June, he can actually water after two days of laying flat... he ju...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Wolves for Rare Gallery Jackson Hole 32 x 48 inches Oil on Canvas. Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  Yep... .another wolf painting on the way. It will be shipped to Rare Gallery in Jackson Hole. I will not post progress pictures but maybe two more... to the final.  Trying to get the galleries caught up on work and prepare for the museum exhibit entries. Have to be juried in with my work. This is my new rose... and it smells even better than it looks. Terry bought this bush for me on Sunday from Whole Foods. Our anniversary is next week. Terry is doing well from his wrist surgery. Hard to not use your right hand when that is your hand of choice. I wrote a friend that my days grew longer. I am up and outside by seven each morning watering and tending the garden and the trees.  Next in to sweep or clean part of the house and then to prepa...
