This was part of my summer series of small horse paintings back in 2016, almost 10 years ago.

We did not have a sweet potato, which is highly unusual, but I did have sweet potato fries and they worked I think even better. https://www.facebook.com/lauriejustuspace?ref=tn_tnmn   Look for the highlighted story that shows food on the table.  I love Forks over Knives and their recipes. This actually was satisfying and like comfort food, even be...

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Forms are beginning to set Horse Painting. 24  x 30  inches Oil on Canvas.  I did not do much today but finish forming in some blocked areas of color on this horse painting.  I know it will be called Downhill.  Been a busy weekend at the Pace household. TP has been busy beginning our painting process.  Many thanks to Lee Small of Lee Small Gallery in Ft Worth. She visited and walked through the house over three hours one morning as we bridged colors for the different rooms.  We have stayed with most of her color direction and if we did adjust one, we still stayed at a full dark value of the color.  Right now TP is painting the music room where my baby grand will be delivered on Wednesday... a mid grey ceiling and the walls will be dark dark dark.  I may have to do my own artwork for this room. Not sure what I have in my collec...

Immediately he feels he has done something wrong.  How did we get here? Does not seem like a healthy reaction, especially when I am not frowning. I have known him for 48 years of my life. I know him pretty well. How can you improve your current relationship?  I know as we talked last night I literally prayed before responding to some touchy things we were discussing.  I stayed quiet and sought oneness with the Father before replyin...

Thoughts of God's touch creating so much beauty in our world, puts me in awe of His artistry.  As an artist, I feel so much responsibility to use my gift wisely and to allow Him to work through me as I am only a poor imitator of His dimensionally work.  Ladies at my summer workshop. Painting in my own style, expressing what is important to me using line, color, palette knife and movement, is primary to the success of the work. Success that He was apart of the making.  I can do nothing with out Him. Encouraging other a...

The road looms before us as our eyes dart around seeing what surrounds us, often being tempted to leave the road and explore. The 'lines' in society keep most of us moving in 'the direction' expected.  Crossing the lines is the sign of a rebel or a wanderer.

Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2011   Click on Details below to seek the thick paint.   My Blog My Website   Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards Really enjoyed playing in the paint on this one.  Have no idea if it will even appeal to a heart or not, but it was an enjoyable journey of paint. I spent most of yesterday afternoon with wet feet (54 degrees outside) as we began power washing the deck the hot tub use to live on. This is going to take a bit of work.  Warmer weather would be better. I can see some use of having a power washer...windows, eaves, cars etc.  Father's Day is ahead of us. Stuck morning yesterday morning. I was up early working on the new www.artistsoftexas.org site. It is not uploaded yet and is about ...

'Grand Canyon Trail' 24 x 30 x 2 inches Acrylic on Canvas Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace Graphics One Design 2009 The Painting : Second in the summer series of Equine Pieces 2009. I laugh now because I have to resort to acrylic more in the summer as the oils will not cure in our humidity. Takes forever to get them to a point to varnish and mail to the buyer. This was a study in composition using balance and color to pull you from the upper right to the lower left. My circle markings are the same used in the last summer series in 2008 and only used in my summer paintings. Call it a signature if you will. The Thought : I have a postnote on Ann Marcelyn Caver . Click her name for her website. You will see all the fascinating work of this gifted artist. The woman that wrote me from Canada of Ani's passing sent me a connection today from another blog. PLEASE take the moment to read this blog. Dr. Dwags Blawg . I believe it hurt even more to find o...
