PRECIOUS MOMENTS ~ Child and Horse Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 11 x 14 inches Oil on Linen Panel Contact me to purchase. Click here . SOLD today on Daily Painters! Thank you. This was the second trial painting on the new linen board. I plan to do another painting of this picture. It came from a collector and I promised to paint it. This will serve as a prepaint. I just sat and painted. No drawing first. I call that being open to create and not bounded by line. Space is all mine. You can do that with God. Be open to divine guidance...be freely floating in His light and love. I am off to paint this morning with a full morning ahead...and a full afternoon. Shalom, Laurie “Then I said, ‘Here I am; in the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.’”—Psalm 40:7-8

CHILD IN GARDEN ~ Impressionism by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 18 inches Oil on Canvas Well I struggled this morning to post this to a second blog I am apart of and somehow my sweet painting of this child kept attaching and blending with a pop art pair of breasts with red hair. After five attempts I gave up. Sort of like sleeping last night. Terry and I worked late and had a late dinner in Ponder. We came home and watched a movie and then turned off the TV to sleep. I was praying and meditating just falling off to sleep and the trains began piling through the city. For almost two straight hours there was no going to sleep. The whistles were none stop. I feel asleep about two and slept till six this morning, so I will drag all day. This painting was a joy to paint and explore the face of the child and the light on the dress. I hope you enjoy it! Today I will have to really concentrate on finding joy in the day to stay awake. I wish you the joy and light of the Lord in your day too! Sh...

FEEDING THE DUCK, Child, Garden, Landscape Oil Painting by Laurie Justus Pace 22 x 28 inches Oil on Canvas Contemporary Modern Art inspired by the Art of God Monday Rain....Yahoo! Today it is back to the auto place with my car and we are late so this short! I am preparing things for the show in Dallas...but this is a pre-paint on a smaller canvas of what I am doing on the larger one for the show. This is for sale if it appeals to you, drop me a note! The one at the show will be 24 x 36 in size and this is 22 x 28. The price of the show piece will be somewhere between $859-1250. This one, make me an offer...it is a pre-paint! I have been beating myself up lately on the verge of a pity party and have to reground myself in my thoughts. NO OBSTACLE is larger than my faith. Did you ever stop and think about that? We often relate obstacles to our energy and our strength before thinking about our faith. Mom and I spoke about this on the phone last night late. I pondered it quite a...

IN HER GARDEN 18 x 27 inches Oil on Canvas A Painting a Day The day marks on the calendar as Tuesday. Yesterday I was busy with the New York Gallery sorting what was coming and going. This is a beautiful painting that is there at the gallery that is now listed in my store on eBay. Click here. It is offered at a tremendous price for the quality of the painting! Enjoy! Today Terry has his MRI series...two on his back. I am moaning this morning, have tingles and numbness in my upper left shoulder and my neck is worse on that side too, so something is still not right. My MRI is on Thursday. Despite it all Terry and I are filled with Joy that we are alive! Grace, Laurie “And all the people went up following him, playing on pipes and rejoicing with great joy.”—1 Kings 1:40

CHILD IN THE PARK 5 x 7 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas A Painting A Day BABY BLUES!!! This was working from a photo of my grandson Jonathan. It is a tiny painting, and I really need to shoot it from my tripod. I may replace this photo with a better one. I had fun studying the light and working with the colors and TRYING not to put colors in that are traditionally in your head, but only using tones of what you actually see!!! I am stiff this morning. Will be having a wrecker pick my car up and tow it to the FIX IT SHOP. They do not think it is too bad, but want to get it up on a rack. We chose to take it to our neighbors body shop knowing it is an honest shop and they do wonderful work, but it is on the opposite side of Ft Worth from us! Hope your Thursday is full of Grace and His love. Grace to you, Laurie “For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”—Galatians 5:1
