Scott Fitzgerald Getting close to the end of the summer. The heat cannot fade away fast enough. This painting reminds me of the haze of water on the roads when it is so hot and the roads look like there are shimmering puddles from the heat. That seems to be how life is. So much looks like shining good things to us through...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2014 Palms by Day  Size: 36 x 36  Oil on Canvas. SOLD Available Paintings by Laurie Pace  This painting was one of two painted for a commission for a collector in Florida in 2006.  This one below was the second one completed in 2006 entitled: Palm by Night 15 x 30 inches Oil.  When Jim contacted me about palms trees and swamps, I swallowed hard and said, "Sure, I can do it."
