     © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Day Break Commissioned Painting  28 x 56 inches Oil on Canvas. SOLD  I began working in the upper left corner. I have to set up the paint to be bright and vivid enough to with stand a layer of white, carmel, maybe reds and more white for the mane.  They have specifically ask for some blue in the sky, which is not a normal for me in any way.  So as I work toward the right side top I will infuse some blues with Horizon Blue and some Cobalt Blue. (Holbein Duo Oils) The pinks and oranges evolved from Light Cad Yellow and Quinacridone Red and then working into the white with the QRed. I tried NOT to have purple from the pink on the blue. That is controlled by pressure in the knife. Laurie Pace A Texas Artist Golden Pond Studio My Blog          My Website          Giclees on Ca...

On Monday night I attended a Girl Scout meeting. I had not been to one of those since I was Stacey's girl scout leader many years ago. It was my honor to work with these  incredible young scouts with a project and a sharing of my work and history.  With me came paints, canvas, brushes and a story about a box. We talked about doing things backwards. We talked about closing ourselves into a box and how we could not see anything altho we could still hear things. We talked about gifts from God. We talked about donuts and donut holes. (Positive and negative space) Main idea was to paint the canvas with lots of color...and while it was drying I told them about myself and my art.  Then we came back to the semi d...

Golden Spirit an Arabian Horse Painting 24 x 30 inches  Oil on Canvas   This was a commission painting for a dear dear friend, Ann. Please read more about these special people that come into our lives below. She wanted an Arabian and wanted to 'fall in love with it'.  I hope I accomplished this as I used her favorite blues, greens and violets contrasting the background with golds and soft oranges.  ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting: Laurie      Artist of Love Sometimes in our walk we meet those special people.

At the workshop, every person that attended was special.  I felt blessed by every single artist. When I say special people,...

Laurie COOPERATION What exactly is cooperation?   1. an act   or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or benefit; joint action. Working together for a common purpose or benefit .  I like the sound of that one.  We are all made in His image and have the innate ability to design and create through all of our many senses from the physical to the spiritual. The gift of creating is woven into the fabric of our being as it is woven by God from the very threads of His being. He has gifted us with His passion to create.  With God as your partner in life how can you miss creating the perfect life?   Many times I miss because I take off in my own direction oblivious to the need of taking the time ...
