'Meditation" 18 x 27  Oil on Canvas SOLD Contact me for commission work. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Blog My Website   Painted Ponies    On Golden Pond Blog I used to really enjoy the landscape palette knife paintings but I have not done many this year. May have to play around in paint this weekend. Here is one photo from the weekend... just for fun. I have not had time for a slide show as when you leave it takes twice as long to catch up when you are back. Tink loves music so we jammed together on Daddy's guitar. The beauty each day remind me of God's palette of colors bursting alive around me....this day, the most important because it is now today, the grace of Him given at this moment.   Laurie “But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”- Matthew 16:15-16

Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting:  A gorgeous piece done several years ago... pattern pulls of a wide brush with contrasting colors. I did a series of seven of these.  Village Lights Series.  Perhaps it is time for a new series! The Thought:  Canopies of trees literally hang over the country roads now that spring has completed her adornment of rebirth.  In our stubborn determination we finally figured out the closest route to Lowe's in Mt Pleasant .  We were driving the southern route west across the northern shore...

'Montana' 24 x 30  Oil on Canvas SOLD PRIVATE Collection Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie  © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 The Painting: An oldie. We are packing packing packing and the paints were packed today. The Thought: I was reading something on Productivity .  Is there productivity in your life? Every business is into profit and earnings.  We constantly measure productivity even in our personal lives. How much equity has the house earned or lost in the past two years?  How many 'A's" on the child's report card? How many things do we cross off our today list?  Productivity is good to a point in our lives as it helps us evaluate our performance and achievements.  The bible defines it not only in terms of numbers but by relationships and our character.  The most important thing is the bottom line of our character.  Are you producing "good fruit" in your life? Could you do mo...

Don't be shy.  Laurie The Thought:   The gift of Hospitality.   My birthday dinner was at my mom's. She by far has one of the strongest gifts of hospitality I have ever known.  The table setting was incredible with her 60 year old china and crystal... and the food was mouth-watering... and she made it all herself to bring her family together on my birthday. She told me a story of my dad returning home from the army base the day after I was born. His birthday is the day after my birthday.  He had to fly into St Louis.  He held me in his arms and said, "This is by far the best birthday present I could have wished for." My mother is gifted...

'Hills 1' 18 x 27  Oil on Canvas Contact me for a commission painting. Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting :  This is an oldie from 2007.  I am going to do a small series of color studies of similar paintings.   I did three that year. One was a commission painting that was 3 ft by 4 ft, one was this one 18 x 27 and one was I think 24 x 30 inches in size.   I hope to start on this today. The Thought : I am early up but late to blog so I am in my typical Monday Rush .  This is birthday week for me.  In my adult life it has always been a treasure to celebrate my birthday with my Dad.  We have birthdays next to each other.  In the past Mom would always do a family dinner and one cake would be there for the two of us.  Always was special being born the day before his birthday.  Last year I missed that day as when family traveled up to celebrate his birthday, the family minister...
